What it smells like

White musk smells clean, soft and powdery, like freshly washed cotton, warm skin and a hint of soap. It is lighter and more airy than darker musks, with a smooth, comforting sweetness. It works in the base to add a gentle, lasting softness and to make fragrances feel intimate and clean. It blends effortlessly with florals, citrus, woods and vanilla, giving a smooth, skin-like finish.
