What does Musc Monoï smell like?

Neroli, lemon and Paraguayan petigrain open with a citrus brightness. In the heart, coconut, tiaré, jasmine, magnolia and ylang-ylang bring a creamy, sweet floral note, lightened by calone. Musk and sandalwood close it with a soft, woody, powdery base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters link it mostly to daily wear and leisure, with business use not far behind, and fewer votes for evening or sport. Most read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Jo Malone Frangipani Flower and Ex Nihilo Honoré Delights have a close profile.
