What does Musk Complexity smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, then winter, and it leans towards leisure, night-out and evening wear more than daytime use. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it moves easily between the two.

Red fruits, lemon and bergamot open bright, while ginger and rum add a little warmth. Jasmine, cardamom and labdanum lead the heart. In the base, musk, cane sugar, cinnamon and sandalwood settle the scent into something sweet, powdery and woody, with patchouli keeping that warmth in check.
