What does White Musk smell like?

The top is mandarin orange, white musk and bergamot, so citrus brightness leads. In the heart, jasmine and water lily turn it floral, and in the base sandalwood and patchouli leave it woody, powdery and creamy. The overall feel is fresh with a light sweetness.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays a quiet scent close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most chosen occasions. Most see it as feminine. Dior Joy (Eau de Parfum) and Parfums de Marly Darcy have a close profile.
