How amazing and unique fragrance!!Something strong and nostalgic with a soapy-shampoo note makes it a masterpiece!!The lasting power is divine also.A true and unique inspiration by Moschino,i never smelled something similar to this one.
10/10

Opens with citrus and herbal shampoo, clean and light. But quickly goes sour and cloying because of the pomegranate. I wouldn’t want to sit in a car with this on me or on anyone else. A scrubber.

When I got it as a gift back in 2006 it came as a pleasant surprise. Although not a fan of peppery nor woody scents I accounted Couture! as a mood elevator yet warm fragrance with a bold identity. Feminine and sensual with a highly sophisticated tone, once you smell it you never forget it!
deuslin – :
Lovely perfume! I was lucky to find it in one small pharmacy as this one you can’t buy in high street shops anymore. You can smell the real ingredients they could use before, it is a joy. Nowadays perfumes are lacking the real stuff, they are like instant soups, because after the regulations from certain years they are not allowed to use genuine, natural ingredients and is cheaper this way. Pitty, for that I stopped buying perfumes from really good big names(before they were really good, like Dior, Gucci,…), it is not worthy, artificial and doesn’t meet the expectations.

There is something Tauer:esque about this little gem! I definitely like this one a lot. I am always on the outlook for truly good orange perfumes and I love Allure edt for that. Only wish it was stronger in Cinema and I have yet to try Orange Sanguine by Atelier. This is mandarine and a true and juicy mandarine orange at that. It´s a round, fruity realistic orange mandarin opening that is also slightly peppery, but not too much. I like how it´s pepper and not pink pepper, because here the latter would have taken over, possibly. It´s great with the dash of stern, but non-floral black pepper here.I get a fresh spiciness all through, but it´s not food-like or sweaty or anything like that- just tangy and round and slightly dessert-like. Not too much vanilla, but a pleasant and obvoious dose of benzoin sweetens it up and rounds the edges. I also adore the pomegranate and I imagine that note helps in promoting the lovely mandarine orange note and it lasts and lasts. The warm fruityness goes on until the end and BTW, this perfume lasts a long time. beautiful peony and jasmin combo- bright and soft and sexy at the same time and my favourite cedar keeps the composition stable and kind of unisex. It´s a dear scent. Like I said, someone had a little Andy Tauer in them when creating this- what was he doing at the time? I think he was actually just setting up shop around when this came out…

ho comprato questo profumo in un mercatino di milano a 15 eu,è stato come comprare un quadro e poi scoprire che è un picasso. è un profumo eccezionale inebriante non posso immaginare che non lo producano più questo gioiello.

Why did this otherwise interesting frag have to go so sour on skin, why? Loved it in the bottle, even in the first minutes, but then it’s horrific. Could be pepper+pomegranate combo. Not having this issue when sprayed on clothes, though something in it bothers me in the drydown still. Such a shame is discontinued, it was probably the most daring from Moschino.
muse4ka_5 – :
If only the dry-down were different! The opening is not that bad, but I can’t stand the dry-down on my skin. The benzoin somehow kills the scent, it’s too overpowering and harsh. As a result, I’ve been using it for my satchels, this perfume blends very well with the smell of leather bags. It took me a decade to get rid of this bottle! Just finished today.

I loved it so much… I can’t believe they would stop this one!

I’ve bought this perfume cause i love Cheap and Chic Blue,blind purchase!Very big mistake! As i keep saying in my reviews my skin is as weird as it gets,and this probably nice perfume smells like Soup on me.I swear to God all it comes from me is Chicken or whatever soup,i have no idea specific what kind .Mostly tomato juice or sour or chicken or i can’t put my finger on it,sooooo,as most of my ‘foodish souply'(new words invented with this occasion:)))) fragrances——>Mom.I am so sorry i cannot be happy as everybody with the perfumes,i so wish i could make blind orders:(((ufff
SlaVik78780 – :
Wow! I just received this in the mail today and it smells so beautiful. My spouse actually came over and smelled me saying it was amazing(this unsolicited response to what perfumes I wear has only ever happened one other time ever!) It is well blended, projects well on me. I really love it. It is a very sexy scent.
dkrshopru – :
Wearing this perfume for the first time in about 2 years. It still does not fail to shock me- very unique unusual quirky scent. It has that something that is unidentifiable, that something you just cannot pinpoint. On first Spritz it is very soapy and metallic simultaneously- which in itself is a contradiction-then it becomes some what powdery. I don’t get any citrus with this it is definitely warm spicy after 30 minutes or so it is made of woodsy notes pepper and that note benzoin. It is somewhat nutty and gourmand to me on drydown. It doesn’t project much and I wish it did because this scent truly is among the most unique of scents. It is a beautiful skin sent.

If you loved this perfume as I did, then you NEED to get your hands on Tauer Vanilla Flash, it’s VERY similar (not a dupe) to Couture! but a lot stronger, and a bit more vanilla and spice.
hudini222 – :
This was one of my early 20s perfume. i love it so much. made me feel so grown up. i was feeling nostalgic a few months ago and i searched for it everywhere, imagine my heartbreak when i found out it was discontinued. such a beautiful scent, on me it was all spicy tuberose and white floral. last the whole day with great sillage. i love how it was light and heavy at the same time. my friend told me Lalique Flora Bella was a dupe of this, i told her she’s crazy.. I have Flora Bella, it was floral in a whole other dimension. gosh..i really miss Couture!
artem_7_29 – :
i really miss this perfume, i can’t find another perfume similar to this one. It’s elegant and classy. I got many compliments when i wore this perfume.
my best perfume from Moschino
IgorSamson – :
I remember when this gem was released (albeit for a very short time) in my country. I dismissed it as an old ladies perfume simply due to the colour of the juice in the bottle (how utterly prejudiced was I then!). I happened to come across this site a few years later and searched this fragrance and here I am thinking “WOW” at the diversity of the notes! What I love even more is that it contains pomegranate (one of my most favourite fruity notes) which would soften the benzoin and black pepper in the composition. The ‘cuteness’ of the bottle should give enough of a clue that this is a classy yet wearable and youthful fragrance. My sentiments echo many others on here in relation to its discontinuation.
Bring it back pretty please!
LYOHAHA – :
Não consigo entender porque moschino descontinuou essa fragrancia tão perfeita ,maravilhosa.Procuro um substituto,mas é muito dificil encontrar outro igual a esse.Aqui no Brasil achei um que lembra couture de uma marca chamada Mahogany MAKE ME FEVER GOLD muito bom recebo muitos elogios, assim como recebia com COUTURE MOSCHINO.
orlan1ol – :
What are Moschino thinking of??! Why has this been discontinued? Don’t these designers read forums such as these and realise that there is still massive demand for their fragrances? This is a perfume dominated by pepper, which settles into spicy apples and mulled wine. It’s utterly gorgeous, and I simply cannot believe I can’t buy it anymore. Come on, Moschino. Bring this back! We love Couture!!
OH. MY. GOD. I’ve just managed to procure a bottle of this gem on eBay! I’m desperate for it to arrive. Yippeeeee!
It’s arrived. It’s gorgeous. Peppery, spiced apples, mulled wine… Just such a fabulous perfume. Scared to use it in case I use it up. Lol.
immownern – :
I wore this on my wedding day. I have a small amount left which I treasure because it’s discontinued which is a great shame. I don’t understand why other than it must have been for financial reasons, not enough people buying it, ingredients too expensive or restricted perhaps. Still the drop I have is still lovely and if nothing else I will keep it for sentimental reasons.
proff75 – :
I am just trying this for the first time, and I like it quite a lot. It is spicy-sweet, with a hint of vanilla. I won’t wear it again during the warm weather, but I think it will be a great cold weather scent.
delphi – :
I don’t want to add to the great reviews here, but I’d like to know if anyone has found fragrance DUPE for this.
Since it has STUPIDLY long since eeen discontinued, it is so hard to find and is going for silly prices second hand or old stock, especially as it is not a a perfume that keeps weel.
yes it is a very enigmatic perfume but it need to bee kept in its box and out of heat, it has delicate cemical structures inside. It not like the old heady vintage perfumes that seem to keep better, probably due to the concentration of benzoins.
SO if anyone buys second hand do ask how its been stored! and if there is a Dupe then do put it up here.
And can some perfume journalists NAG Moschino enterprises to bring this dam perfume back, It isn’t a ‘difficult’ and complexely expensive rose sambac or jasmine flower bomb, its a sweet simple alluring sexy and enigmatic balmy lemony subtle sweet skin scent, how hard can it be?
blackpost177 – :
Only Moschino I actually like.
kirillminator – :
I totally agree with the previous review- I get a very decided dose of cardamom with Couture! Surely it must be in there somewhere…
Assper – :
Now I blind bought my half bottle off ebay based on reviews. It may be my bottle is ” off” but if it is I don’t care -it still smells great to me. I get a soft cardamom tea with a hint of mandarin . Nice to wear in hot weather with barely working a/c units! Office safe ,low silliage,and lasts about 4-6 hours on me. Spray your hair / clothes/ spray till wet if you want it to be bolder / longer lasting.
mlm807speagoessenda – :
I really can’t add much to these enthusiastic reviews, but I’ve got to acknowledge another great Moschino perfume.
Couture! seems to have a double life. On the one hand it is beautiful, bold and bubbly. On the other it is warm, cosy and luxurious.
There are many reviews of other fragrances that contain references to cupcakes, cookies, and all manner of sweet gourmand delights. Well, I consider Moschino Couture! to be my ‘orange poppy seed vanilla cake’ fragrance, but light on the sugar and heavy on flavour.
It’s good, honest and satisfying. And moreish!
sabrina – :
Sooooo disappointed as I bought the last little 30mls bottle cheap…but it has probably been sitting on the shelf for ever & I feel it has gone off.
Oh I do hate it when you buy a fume & it turns…much like a good vintage wine, you would expect a perfume to ‘age’ somewhat.
It has a ‘dank plasticky’ aroma & I don’t get all the notes & no true representation of what it is suppose to smell like.
A shame.
s77 – :
To me this starts off oriental and soapy and drys down to a soapy powdery skin sent. It’s unusual to the rest of my collection in the sense it is understated and a close skin scent, i don’t get the sillage maybe this is because i have the perfume deodorant edp for £36 rather than the pure edp as it has been discontinued. It’s warm, comforting, sophisticated & vintage feeling. I detect pepper,musk and cedar as the top notes. I like it, i feel it will grow on me as Moschino perfumes tend to. It is different and the bottle is gorgeous and vintage with the cute little red bow and the juice looks expensive and classic which is exactly how it smells.
People who say it smells cheap,it doesn’t. You are spraying far too much, it is a vintage like fragrance- a little goes a long way with this one. It is a naked skin scent, i wouldn’t spray it on clothes etc.
Oh & the picture above does the bottle no justice- it is 20x more cute,adorable and classic looking than in the picture.
Beautiful vintage soapy powdery scent.
maikl8621 – :
Moschino Couture, my true, true Love. How I wish you were still in production and how I mourn and curse the unfairness of life that your beauty will not be immortalized as it should be, you gorgeous and perfect gem….
The first time I beheld Moschino Couture from afar, I recall that I was immediately drawn in for three reasons:
1) Moschino is my favorite designer;
2) The bottle had a heart on the top <3;
3) There was a red velvet bow on top of the gorgeous square flacon with the loveliest amber colored juice.
I moved closer to the counter, held the heavy beautiful bottle in my hand and popped off the golden heart top. Quick sniff without spraying, my eyes fly open, “what is that unusual smell?” I spray, (not on card – right on my wrist, I was that sure) I take long deep breath, “Oh my.. I breathe again…. mmmmmm”
Moschino Couture is like that drink you like to drink that you know is strong but you love it for that. That is WHY you love it. It is POWERFUL in a deliriously good way. Like the buzz from the best tequila on earth, it is strong but it makes you feel GRRRREEEAAAAAT!
The notes on my skin are Bergamot, black pepper, vanilla, benzoin, and sexy cedar. I adore the fizzy pop feeling I get on my skin. I love the way the scent lasts and lasts on me and my clothing.. I love that it was my signature and people remember me by it. It smells very expensive, very refined but still fun and unexpected and most of all, unique . I have one more bottle under lock and key and will treasure it forever and ever. Amen.
Hanibal74 – :
I love this! Personally I think this is a classic scent. It can be worn day or night. Boyfriend and ex boyfriends could not get enough of this scent. I was wearing this scent when I first met my boyfriend and told me I smelled amazing. Scents lasts 8hrs++ on me especially when sprayed on hair I still could smell it the next day.
enu283speagoessenda – :
First I must say that this cute bottle grabs my heart in it’s simplicity.
The perfume comes on strong and I call this a warm fragrace.
I would never have excpected Moschino to have made such a classy, wonderful fragrance.
I find it a little bit earthy in regards to the big player resin in pair with cedar. Also the pepper gives some earthiness – all
smoothens down by golden honey – the vanillanote is more of a honeynote with my chemistry.
Dont feel any flowers or fruits yet but it might come later.
It is a very special perfume.
nitro007 – :
This is amazing. Thanks to lisaivette for the sample! It’s smooth, spicy, warm, sweet. The citrus is so cheerful and the spices keep things interesting. I can smell cedar, and pepper, and a subtle sweetness…it seems very well blended. I’ve been testing lots of perfumes lately and this is the first one in a while that has made me say “wow.”
lezgin90 – :
This is the first time I have felt truly compelled to write a review. I found a mini of this scent at Marshall’s and was already curious to try it based on the reviews. However the scent actually exceeded my expectations. Upon initial application, I get a balmy, spicy citrus that reminds me of an old school men’s cologne. Then a juicy pomegranate appears–the best pomegranate note that I have encountered in my short perfume journey. Now the spicy sweet pomegranate-pepper note morphs again and meets a resinous vanilla base. It’s retro yet modern, glamorous and attention-grabbing, yet cozy. The scent is long lasting with moderate sillage. A vintage in the making–I am super glad I found this.
jambogold – :
What a beauty!
To my humble nose I think I know why it is so addictive. Read on:
I get a very strong wiff of “betel leaf” throught out the parfum. This leaf is used in making a very unique Indian stimulating and psychoactive prepartion using betel leaf. You can also try to get your hand on “Paan Pasand” which is a candy that has the flavour of “Paan”.
Interesting stuff this parfum! Love it!!

Shall I lament like the others? Yes Yes Yes! Why oh why is this discontinued? What I would not give to get my hands on a full bottle of this juice at a reasonable price. It is absolutely stunning. It is spicy and uplifting, the citrus and pomegranate give it the perfect juicy zing.I only have a sample right now, but if not for this being so hard to find it would most certainly be in heavy rotation.The Best Moschino fume.
KREC_fuse – :
How can a perfume with a quality so amazing to be discontinued? Moschino Couture! In the opening notes I feel a slight hint of citrus and fizzy, these notes will last a long time on my skin, then the magic begins and it is as if had applied other perfume, on my skin at this stage, I can feel the jasmine, peony, poppy and pomegranate, these notes give an air very sophisticated at Couture!
At the end cedar and vanilla close with much high style this olfactory journey. What impresses me is like 3 different fragrances, Moschino Couture! is surprising.
longevity between 8-12 hours and sillage around 4-7 hours, A masterpiece!
EDWARD11 – :
Oh my, what a true gem it is. I have never come across a Moschino scent that I would hate but this one I truly love.
This is the absolutely perfect combination of spiciness, creaminess and sweetness. The scent is so amazingly balanced it’s unbelievable.
There’s dry, bitter pepper note counterbalanced by vanilla and benzoin. There’s jasmine grounded in cedar. There’s fruity zestiness from mandarin orange and pomegranate. It is scrumptious, it is absolutely delicious, with no foodiness to it at all. It stays close to skin and projects in moderation, it it chic and classy and never, for a split second, dull.
Sadly discountinued, but oh my it’s worth a try.

Валера333 – :
I was recently given a sample vial of this (thank you goingblonde), and at first, I was hesitant to test it out – it stayed sitting on my desk in its cute little heart-shaped manufacturer’s card for more than a week, because I was very intimidated by the Pepper and Benzoin notes. I was almost sure I wouldn’t like it.
But… just before I passed the sample to someone else, I thought that I should be brave, and give it a try – I dabbed a bit on the back of my hand… let it sit… and… what a surprise! This is the first perfume that has made me want to describe it as “balmy”. It is warm and soothing with a vanilla undercurrent that is reminiscent of perhaps the smell of a room-temperature root beer or Vanilla Coke. Yet it is not sticky-sweet like the aforementioned beverages, but has the quality of a spicy-smelling soap that lingers on the skin after a hot shower.
The cedar in this reminds me of the cedar that appears in the drydown of D&G Light Blue, one of the loveliest parts of both fragrances, in my opinion. This is a perfume with warm elegance and definitely can be worn for more both casual and more formal occasions.
Although the two are not related, I was faintly reminded of Burberry Touch for Men, which my boyfriend wears. Perhaps it is the white pepper, cedar, and mandarin orange notes that are present in both. Like some of the other reviewers, I also think that this could be unisex; I am sure I would enjoy smelling this on my boyfriend.
knsh17k – :
It reminds me of walking in a barber shop ,
the scent of soapiness and spice.
More like an after shave scent then anything .
Should be unisex in my opinion.
kirillv-2000 – :
wonder if this perfume still available
monty1140 – :
I know fragantica labels this as a floral woody musk, but this is definitly better described as a floral fruity musk. It reminds me of D&G Light blue a LOT.
vova75 – :
I could only afford a teeny bottle of this from eBay. Just tried it for the first time, and I have to say I love every second of this scent so far. Not too cloyingly sweet at all, but still very feminine and sophisticated. Subtle and intriguing. I will wear this as often as possible and hope that someday I can afford a larger bottle!
DenchikBO – :
elegant, sweet, a bit refreshing
i have been using for two bottles, love it
asperkijhftrdgeA – :
I don’t know why it reminds me of rochas absolute, rochas is a creamier or heavier scent, but it does remind me of it, although Couture smells much more similar to Chanel no5 – eau premier version
Like Chanel no5 premier, Couture has a chemically smell, which my not sound so nice, but it’s a good chemical smell, perhaps they are aldahydes. Couture , to me, smells like Chanel no 5, but when compared on the skin , side by side, it’s easier to tell the difference, Couture has a kind of syrupy or thick orange note and a spice or two that no5 does not have. I think if it wasn’t for that thick orange note that Couture would be as effervescent feeling as no5 Premier. Chanel could definently be worn all summer long, even on the hot days where as I feel that Couture has the ability to become cloying when your body tempature rises on a hot summer day, but a normal summer day or summer night both would be wonderful. I think if you like one, it would be difficult to not like the other
. Mabey it’s the orange, benzoin and pepper, that gives Couture an added UMMF. Both are definently eligant and fresh feeling. While Premier remains fresh, Couture does as well, but there is a lingering thickness, which I guess is the best way I can describe it.
And while there is a sweetness to this, it’s more a natural sweetness level, and not one that I would neccisarily consider a sweet perfume

ilyus0 – :
I love Moschino, their fragrances are either classy or crazy but they never disappoint, Couture follows in that tradition.
Despite the pepper note, on my skin Couture opens up in a sweet and rather soft fashion. Citrus and floral notes mingle in wonderful harmony with the pepper and prevent it from making it a dominant note. The middle phase is all about jasmine and has a woodsy feel about it. Woodsy with a slight vanilla edge that makes it very unique in its overall composition. The woodsy feel doesn’t drown the flowers out, I can even smell the poppy! The dry-down mixes all notes into an unusual scent experience.
It’s a sensual and ‘soapy’ scent, very bold and noticeable. It has a heavy vintage vibe about it, yet it’s also modern, a ‘bi-polar’ scent that seems to combine the best of these two worlds. It reminds me a lot of Estee Lauders “Cinnabar”, but Couture is more bold and gutsy whereas Cinnabar (to my nose) is shyer and demure. It’s a scent that makes a statement its “Couture a la Parfum” and wants other people to know that too.
The bottle is also cute, who can resists a flacon with a ribbon AND a heart? : )
Silage is: “I am noticed and I should because I am classy and beautiful” — Longevity is great: 7+ hours.
A bold, heavy and beautiful Moschino that is wonderful for evenings, dates and all those occasions that you want to make an impact. These days it’s harder to get, but if you find it you must -at least- sample it, it’s a vintage in the making.
lcd – :
yeah got mine today, which has been discontinued at most counters.. so loving it <3
on me the fresh & citrusy scent is very prominent, it dries down to balmy & floral. a bit hint of sweetness (must be the vanilla)
very classic, elegant and can be sexy too if u wish huhuuu…
for midnight poison lovers would love this too..

iga59 – :
I realized what a mistake I made a few years ago when I gave the bottle I had to someone. I regretted it immensely… I just purchase a tiny little parfum that reminded my why I love this fragrance so much. It is youthful, yet mature– like the business woman who takes off her shoes to play in puddles. This fragrance is intoxicating to me… it can come off as a little “in your face”, but it’s the kind of first impression that brings you in closer for a second sniff.
Deroxnmzes – :
Patience is a virtue with Moschino’s Couture. Upon the initial spray, I thought that it beared a similarity to FLY SPRAY and I thought that it was pretty damn awful. It’s also very green upon opening and has a cold feel to it. A couple of hours passed and I noticed a woody, warm, sweet and musky aroma was emanating from somewhere close to me. I smelled my wrist – IT WAS ME and the aroma was beautiful! I was so relieved! I detected vanilla, musk, pepper and the woody smell (must be the cedar), but no flowers. It’s certainly sophisticated, elegant and would suit older women (35+). Remember, be patient!
top1 – :
I’m not good at picking out notes in a scent, but I can tell you what I feel and think when I put on Couture!
It smells luxurious but not too much. The musky yet fresh scent gives it a bit of class but also a touch of playfulness. It’s like going out on a romantic expensive-dinner date, but not so stuck-up a dinner that people would frown if you used the wrong fork. It’s sweet enough to give off a youthful feminine vibe. It’s confident and also flirty.
Age group, I’d say maybe 20s to mid-30s.
Suited for a young professional. I find this scent perfect for office wear and on dinner dates because it’s stands out enough to get you noticed, but not too overwhelming to put off your date or boss/colleagues.
Overall, it’s nice, but not something I would wear often. Not too fond of the muskiness of it despite its hint of freshness. I used to love it, but after a while I find that I am more of a fresh+fruity/floral kinda gal. But still, not too bad a choice.
mr_d – :
This is my first big bottle of perfume. It was a blind buy and yet was so delighted. The name Couture fits in itself. It’s very unique, feminine, classy and elegant. The top notes are very fruity then turns into vanilla scent. It’s a bit musky as well but not in a bad way. Can wear in any occassion, day or night but I don’t think it’s really a summer frag though I think one can get away with it. More like a spring or autumn/winter. There’s something in this perfume that makes you comfortable. For some reason, the EDT’s scent last longer to me than EDP. It’s one of my favourite perfume. One that I wouldn’t be tired of.
eoz802elipseskism – :
This is the one that appropriate to the name. Smell luxury and diffrent from other perfume. In my country all I can smell is Be Delicious from DKNY. I don’t get it. I’m looking for something special and this is the answer. Maybe it’s about hot weather so it’s perfect for a night or just 2 spray in the office. Of course very last long. Benzoin is the main characters. I will surprise if someone can tell what I’m wearing and my manager he likes it a lot. I recommend.
IrGl – :
It is a bit soapy, but could be a really nice fragrance if not for the overwhelming bergamot, pepper and benzoin. Strong and sour bergamot especially, this is what gives people headaches.

Exareeinvoino – :
I’ve had so high expectations after the wonderful reviews, almost bought a mini of this one unsniffed. Fortunately I’ve got a sample to try it out. It was a big disappointment, on my skin it became strong, harsh, sour and some hours later dirty-musky. (Is there no musk here? Really?) I love cedar in other scents but I didn’t get it here. I think it must be only my skin chemistry and it’s a good scent, on everyone else:(. Sillage and longevity are very good but in my case it was not so good thing. Pity…
granbas – :
Fascinating!
Wasn’t expecting to like this, but it’s one of those that I find complex and intriguing. So much that I keep sniffing to see what will happen next. In that regard, I find it unique like SJP Covet.
I find something green in here though..not sure what, like freshly chopped wood, shavings, or bark pulled fresh off the tree, maybe even pine cones and tree sap? Anyhow it’s warm, spicy, green under the surface, and smoothe with hints of vanilla & florals. I think I could wear this all year round, too.

Two words: Synthetic cedar. I generally love the smoothness of a cedar note, but something in this doesn’t sit quite well with me and I still cannot decide whether I genuinely like it or not. Especially the beginning smells largely synthetic to me, and not in an interesting way – luckily, it dries down nicer. I guess in the end my problem with this is similar to the one I’m having with Eau des Merveilles (see my review), only this time I like the fragrance better. There is no doubt some attraction, but are we a good match at all?

This perfume is very classy but stays young at heart so even a very young person could wear this. It could be worn casually or to a business meeting or even a special night out.

It has a muskyness to it but not dirty or animalistic but interesting enough to please those who do like animalistic perfumes ie Palermo Picasso, Rochas Femme, CK Obsession etc. It is uplifting too.
