What does Musc Nobilis smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. Leisure, daytime and evening wear are rated almost evenly; it leans slightly feminine, though a fair share of voters read it as masculine.

Overall it is sweet and creamy, with the leathery softness of suede resting on a powdery musk. Bitter orange cuts the sweetness a little, while balsamic notes and ambergris give it a warm, resinous base. Floral and spicy touches stay in the background. Montale Amber Musk and Laboratorio Olfattivo Daimiris have a close profile.
