What does Red Musk (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Cinnamon, tobacco, musk and pepper sit together in the composition. Cinnamon and pepper give a spicy warmth, while musk and tobacco soften it into a powdery, lightly resinous base. The sweetness is never heavy but runs throughout, alongside a slightly synthetic sheen.

Most voters recommend fall and winter, and evening, daily and leisure wear draw similar support. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters read it as feminine, though some find it masculine.
