What does Muschio Oro smell like?

White blossoms come first, and the heart of iris, neroli, ylang-ylang and lily of the valley adds a soft floral body, while a citrus touch and a hint of spice keep it lively. As it dries, musk, cedarwood, vanilla and tonka bean leave a sweet, creamy, slightly animalic warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and everyday and leisure wear lead, though it also works in the evening. Votes split between feminine and masculine, which fits its unisex character. Xerjoff Lua and Chanel Paris - Venise have a close profile.
