Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and generally subtle sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear, as it won't overwhelm. While it's considered better for daytime, its musky base could work for a relaxed evening date, though its lack of strong projection limits its formal appeal.

About

Rajamusk opens with lavender, red currant, pear blossom and bergamot, giving a fresh, lightly fruity and herbal start. The heart is soft and floral, with violet and lily of the valley adding a powdery touch. The base is built on musk and patchouli, which gives the scent a smooth, earthy-sweet finish. It moves from bright to powdery to warm, and stays calm and refined throughout. A well-mannered unisex eau de parfum.
