About This Perfume
Maksim Perfume Musk Couture smells like Ripe berry tea, tobacco smoke, musky vanilla. It opens with thai lychee, Roman chamomile and raspberry, moves into Nicaraguan tobacco, Turkish tobacco and Virginia tobacco and settles on Siberian musk, Atlas cedar and Bourbon vanilla. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2024.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something amber forward and cozy for date nights.
- Sample first if: you are unsure about strong spicy notes; this one divides opinion.
- Skip if: you dislike animal fragrances.
Around $33.
