What does Wave Musk smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn mainly for leisure and daily use, with office wear close behind. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters see it as more masculine than feminine, though a fair share call it feminine.

The top has grapefruit, blackcurrant and herbs, giving a green, fruity brightness. In the heart, orange blossom, driftwood, seawater and salt carry the aquatic feel. Kelp and white musk close it in the base, soft and clean. Hollister Wave for Him and Bvlgari Aqva pour Homme Marine have a close profile.
