What does Fruits of the Musk smell like?

The whole composition is built around summer fruit: Sicilian mandarin orange and Calabrian bergamot add brightness, blackberry and raspberry carry the sweetness, while Bulgarian rose and strawberry leaf bring a light floral and green touch. White musk softens everything, and the synthetic accord gives it a clean, smooth feel.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and winter is rarely chosen. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Although it is sold as unisex, most voters read it as feminine.
