What does Musky Rose smell like?

May rose and tuberose form the floral heart, while musk and benzoin sweeten them into a powdery softness and olive wood adds a light woody base. A faint synthetic edge runs through the accords. As a whole, the scent leaves a fresh, clean impression.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Few votes have been cast, so these ratings are tentative. It suits anyone, on either men's or women's skin, who wants a gentle rose. Montale Roses Musk and Gucci Bloom have a close profile.
