Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
The light, powdery musk and floral notes make White Musk EDT ideal for spring and summer, offering a clean and airy feel. Its subtle projection and minimal warmth limit its appeal in winter's chill.
Best Occasions
Its soft, inoffensive projection and clean musk profile make it perfect for office and casual daily wear. It is less suited to formal occasions due to its simplicity but is appropriate for light activity and subtle date settings.
