What does Royal Copenhagen Musk (Cologne) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of ratings means these figures are tentative. It is labelled a men's fragrance, and its fougère and woody structure follows a classic masculine line.

The top notes bring sage, basil and lavender. In the heart, lily of the valley, neroli and jasmine add a soft floral layer. The base of clove, amber, patchouli, musk, nutmeg and oakmoss gives a sweet, spicy and earthy depth, with a faint animal edge running through it. L'Artisan Parfumeur Mûre et Musc and Tom Ford Beau de Jour have a close profile.
