What does J-Musk V5 Zabad Boy smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though only a small number of voters have rated it, so those scores are a rough guide rather than a verdict. It suits anyone who is comfortable with an animalic base, regardless of gender.

It opens fresh and green with pineapple, citrus notes and rosewood. The heart turns floral, with Iranian rose, white rose, jasmine sambac and tuberose, while orris root adds a powdery edge and Palo Santo a spicy one. The base is dark and animalic, built on Kashmiri deer musk, civet, castoreum and Thai oud.
