What does Rose Musc smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters recommend fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen least. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet works for business and leisure too. Half of the voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex.

It opens with Moroccan rose absolute, a floral start, with musk at the heart. The base brings saffron, patchouli and black pepper, and the spicy, woody tones temper the sweetness. It leaves a powdery, creamy and slightly animalic warmth. Michael Kors Mystique Shimmer and Initio Rehab have a close profile.
