What does Musc Tonkin (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and is chosen less often for daily wear or the office. Votes split between feminine and masculine, so it reads comfortably either way.
Tuberose and rose form a floral core, wrapped in the woody, resinous warmth of sandalwood, cistus, frankincense and myrrh. Hyraceum and Muscenone® add an animalic, leathery depth.
