What does Urban Musk smell like?

Jasmine, honey and plum form a sweet, floral base, while benzoin and frankincense add a resinous warmth. Caraway and white pepper keep the spice light, and ambrette and musk pull the whole toward something powdery, soft and faintly animal.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, then winter and spring, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Most voters call it feminine. Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Collection and Coty Wild Musk have a close profile.
