What does Virke smell like?

Raspberry, dry woods and musky notes form the core. The raspberry brings a sweet, fruity tone, the dry woods anchor it in a dry, woody base, and the musky notes add a soft, powdery feel. A synthetic edge also shows among the accords.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though these ratings rest on a small number of votes. It reads comfortably on both men and women, sitting in the middle rather than leaning to either side. Dior Dior Addict Shine and The Body Shop Raspberry / Framboise have a close profile.
