Rasasi Musk Sharqi

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, soft skin-like warmth, more the smell of clean skin than a scent of its own.

It opens on green notes, floral notes and saffron, moves through rose, spices and ambrette (musk mallow), and settles on black musk, oak moss and sandalwood.

• green notes: a general greenness rather than any one leaf or herb
• floral notes: a general floralness rather than any one flower

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
