About This Perfume
Think bright citrus petals with soft musky powder: that is Louis Cardin Exotic Musk. It opens with bergamot, grapefruit and lemon, moves into jasmine, lily of the valley and linden blossom and settles on ambergris, cedar and musk. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance is best in fall and winter and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for date nights. Released in 2019.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
