What does Black Musk (2014) smell like?

The top is fruity and fresh, with pomegranate, mandarin orange, Brazilian orange and nectarine. At the heart, iris, freesia, jasmine and tuberose add a floral weight. The base builds a woody frame from Indonesian patchouli, cashmere wood and cedarwood, while crème brûlée and musk sweeten and soften it. The overall feel is sweet, floral and slightly animalic.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are tentative. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Jōvan Black Musk (2009) and Chantecaille Pétales have a close profile.
