What does Kastuku (V2) smell like?

It opens with jasmine, lime and bergamot, reading fresh, citrusy and floral. Lavender, rose stem and vanilla follow in the heart and sweeten it. The base of Siberian musk, deer musk, Malayan oud and benzoin leaves a woody, animalic and spicy warmth.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, balancing fresh and deep. Jinx Kastuku V3 Sylhet Sillage and Jaguar Classic Gold have a close profile.
