CreamyWhat does Musk | 12 smell like?
Lotus, jasmine and freesia give the opening a clean, floral lightness. Musk takes over in the heart and rounds everything off. Sandalwood and vanilla settle underneath, adding a creamy, slightly sweet, woody base.
Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine. Its profile is close to The Dua Brand Musky Lotus 12 and Dior Dune Sun.
