What does 4.1 Le Musc & La Peau smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and daytime, leisure and office wear come well ahead of evening or night out. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it stays close to the skin. Votes lean slightly feminine, though a good share call it masculine.

Musk, vanilla and tonka bean form a soft, sweet base, with ylang-ylang adding a floral warmth. Cedar and amber give it a woody depth, while rosemary brings a touch of freshness and spice. The overall impression is clean, powdery and close to skin.
