What does Ylang Ylang & Musk smell like?

The top notes of lemon, bergamot and jasmine open fresh. In the heart, ylang-ylang and magnolia bring the floral side forward, while ginger adds a faint spice. The base of musk and vanilla softens everything into a powdery warmth, with the aquatic and animal tones staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it sits close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind and winter rarely chosen. It leans towards leisure time, nights out and workdays. Cuarzo The Circle Amethyst and RNC Eau Noble have a close profile.
