A very herbal, bright turquoise tinge engulfs a blend of many musks. It’s somehow daring and animalic, yet light and fresh, almost citric at times. In the sampler it’s called Sweet Musk, but as someone not used to the style, I’d be hard-pressed to label this as a sweet scent. It radiates a bodily heat, occasionally reminding one of cumin and body odor.
