What does Musc de Java smell like?

It opens with fruity notes, sage and blackcurrant. At the heart, hay and clover add a green, slightly grassy feel. Musk sits underneath and smooths everything out, while the spicy, woody and powdery sides stay in the background.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a quiet presence. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits leisure, daytime and office wear. Most voters read it as feminine, though it works as unisex. Bepolar H21 and Laura Biagiotti Emotion have a close profile.
