It is an animalic note that clouds up with a bold, raw appeal in air. Upon skin, it opens to a mix of green, citrusy Taif rose blended with orange sweetness and the soft, powdery note of lavender, underlined by the indolic backtone of frangipani, while the jasmine blossom amplifies a rich musk, layered with bittersweet sandalwood and spices. Added to this is Hojari, which gives a magic touch to the green citrus, myrrh, and benzoin-earthly calm texture. Notably, the real pineapple sweetness unexpectedly but interestingly sits atop with the musk. This is the only fragrance in this category that offers such a broad palette of ingredients. The thing I like most about it is the dry down-the revelation of this sultry, magnetic, stunningly powdery layer of tonkin musk with solid woody accent which has formed over oud. For the musk lover who wishes the sophistication of its powdery aspect than Tropical Musk is the scent.
