What does Black Musk (2009) smell like?

The fruity opening of orange, pomegranate and nectarine is bright. Jasmine, freesia and iris in the heart add a floral, powdery softness. The base of musk, crème brûlée, patchouli and precious woods sweetens it and finishes woody, lightly spicy and oriental in warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with leisure and night out as the leading occasions. It reads as a feminine fragrance.
