What does Dua's Musk smell like?

The notes read as one piece: musk and vanilla set a sweet, creamy base, sandalwood and amber warm it, and cinnamon adds a light spice. Iris and floral notes bring out the powdery side, and the accords include a synthetic touch.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer far behind. It leans towards leisure and business wear, though evening and night out are possible too. Most voters read it as feminine, even though it is sold as unisex. Xerjoff Star Musk and Guerlain Bouquet de Paris have a close profile.
