What does Cotton Musk Original smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it is noticeable without being loud. Most voters pick spring, with summer, winter and fall close behind. Daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often, and most voters read it as feminine.

It opens with white musk and bitter orange for a bright start. Honeysuckle, jasmine and freesia add a soft floral heart. Sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla then settle it into a creamy, sweet base. Jil Sander Softly and Kayali Musk | 12 have a close profile.
