By the editors · 2 min readMusk dominates from the first spray, a clean yet animalic skin-scent that smells like warm cotton heated by a hair-dryer. Sandalwood arrives within minutes, adding a creamy blond wood frame that keeps the musk from turning too laundry-fresh; together they create a soft, pore-blurring aura. Amber and patchouli enter late, the former lending a honeyed glow, the latter a quiet earthy scratch that stops the composition from drifting into marshmallow territory. Over four hours the accord tightens: the musk loses its bright top-air, the sandalwood dries to parchment, and the amber/patchouli duet lingers as a fuzzy, brown-gold skin-smell. Projection stays within a one-foot radius, perfect for office or close-quarter travel through cool fall days.
