What does Musk for Men (Cologne) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it is worn mostly during the day and in relaxed settings. Voters call it masculine and classic, and rate its value for money very high.
It opens with lemon, lime, pepper and carnation. Towards the heart, lavender, mint, spices and amber bring a sweet, oriental warmth. Woody notes and musk form the base, and the powdery and animal accords are felt throughout.
