What does Musk Butterfly smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though summer has its share too. It leans towards leisure time and nights out, with evening and business wear also getting votes.

It opens on aldehydes, with Madagascan geranium sitting beside Damask rose absolute and Turkish rose. In the heart, Moroccan violet leaf pulls the floral side towards green. The base of ambrette seed absolute and sandalwood leaves it creamy, woody and lightly sweet. Diptyque Fleur de Peau and Juliette Has A Gun Ode to Dullness have a close profile.
