What does Cotton Musk smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily or leisure wear leads, with office wear close behind. Half call it feminine.

The notes don't unfold in stages; the scent reads as one piece. White musk and white lilac set a clean, floral, powdery base, with vanilla adding sweetness and amber warmth. A faint synthetic, slightly animal trace sits behind. Galimard Evie and Dedcool Milk have a close profile.
