What does Musk smell like?
It opens with aldehydes, neroli and ambrette, giving a clean, bright start. The heart of iris, rose and violet adds a powdery floral touch, while white musk and ambroxan soften the base into a creamy warmth, with benzoin adding a light sweetness. The overall impression is fresh, citrusy and slightly synthetic.
Longevity and sillage are rated as good. Voters spread across all four seasons, with fall and spring slightly ahead. It is recommended most for daily wear, leisure and the office. Most voters find it feminine, though a good number read it as masculine. Van Cleef & Arpels Musc de Soie and Téo Cabanel Et Voilà have a close profile.
