What does Cashmere Musk smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters point to spring and fall, then summer, and the occasions named most often are leisure, daily wear and the office. More voters read it as feminine, though a fair share call it masculine.

It opens with ylang-ylang, coconut and cyclamen, a soft floral start. In the heart, Himalayan cedar, sandalwood and purple hyacinth join wood to flowers. Precious woods and musk form the base. The fresh, green tones blend into a spicy, powdery softness.
