What does Holy Musk smell like?
It opens on rose water, and the heart pairs Damask rose with Italian violet, both giving a powdery floral face. In the base, Brazilian tonka bean, white musk and ambergris sweeten the scent and tie it to a creamy, lightly aquatic warmth.
Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted, so those ratings are tentative. Its clean, soft build suits everyday wear and reads comfortably on both women and men. It shares a close profile with Dior Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming and Maison Margiela Bubble Bath.
