What does Musk Memento smell like?

Voters say it works in every season, with spring and summer slightly ahead. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and the masculine and feminine votes sit close together, with most calling it modern. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate.

It opens with ambrette and aldehydes, a clean, lightly bright start. At the heart, true lavender and cedarwood build a floral, spicy woodiness, which amber and white musk soften in the base. Fresh and synthetic accords set the overall mood.
