What does Essence Musc Collection smell like?

The scent reads as one whole: iris lays down a powdery base, rose carries the floral side, and musk and ambergris soften it with a woody, sweet, clean warmth. Nothing about it is heavy or dense; it stays calm and bright. It has been discontinued.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it sits comfortably close to the skin. It leans towards spring and fall, and towards daily and office wear. Most voters read it as feminine. Essence and Essence In Color have a close profile.
