What does White Musk smell like?

Rose and gardenia form the floral core, and white musk sets it on a soft, clean base. Bourbon vanilla adds sweetness, while frankincense and vetiver bring a little smoke and a green dryness. Powdery, fruity and gourmand shades round it out, so it reads fresh yet gentle.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall, and leisure and daily wear lead, with office use not far behind. Most call it feminine, though a sizeable minority find it masculine. It has been discontinued. Serge Lutens L'Eau de Paille and Joop! All About Eve (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
