I’ve heard the name before and had ‘Cobra’ in my teens – got it from an aunt – so I jumped at the chance in Tkmaxx to own a little 30ml bottle for a mere 6 euros. Musk&amber, I thought, will be a total winner for I’m in love with both notes recently..
I must agree with the others before me – there is a bit of sharp hairspray in the beginning but fades quickly. I had to spray A LOT to get any scent on myself and I got an average of 2 hours out of it, although the scent itself seems to last a bit more on fabrics: I could clearly make it out on my jumper the next day. So longevity is not the best, on me anyway.
As for the scent itself – I get musk and bergamot, no ylang-ylang whatsoever (or else all this time I’ve been mistaken about ylang-ylang) tuberose, bit of vanilla. No jasmine either, but again, the scent isn’t strong so it’s hard to make out the notes..Not ambery, but at some point it does make a synthetic amber impression. It IS nice, even though you must search for the point you sprayed it on..
I’d be a fan if it was a bit more potent and longer-lasting. I’ll try it again in warmer weather, at the moment it is only a ‘like’ not ‘love’ and no intent to buy again.

Yellow floral is the first note you feel and then the talc. Finally the musk, which is not so present because the talc overlaps. A memory of tuberose is far away.
I can say that it is not a romantic floral like roses but a happy floral.
The powdery musk in this case, lights the part of the brain linked to memories and things that have passed. Like a hair spray expired.

The first time I ever sprayed this on I thought “This smells like some kind of hairspray!” It did settle nicely and I lost that idea. I don’t think there’s any season where this would be inappropriate to wear. It doesn’t have monster sillage, really not a huge presence at all. It’s just kind of a pleasant skin scent musk. It’s one of those things that doesn’t blow your mind, but(at least on me) leaves this scent where it’s not even “perfumey” in a sense. It just smells like it could be my skin that actually smells nice. After an hour or two of wear, it’s just this “my skin but better” kind of thing. A clean skin feel. I like the small and simple bottle too. It’s elegant enough. The cap does not come off easily at all so it’s perfect to carry around.

It took a car drive on a rainy day for this one to show me just how pretty and sparkling it can be! This came as a pleasant surprise, as it didn’t seem that great the first week – quite pleasant, musky, but nothing much. How to describe the impression it made on me today? Like a combination of white musk edt, with a white soap of the best quality… Maybe it’s meant to be kept for rainy days?
Orazov – :
This is a very cheap dupe for TBS white musk. Sillage is minimal but with poor longevity. Only lasts for 2,5 hours for me but the bottle is a practical 30ml and it’s dirt cheap so it’s still a win in my book. I’d rather buy this than TBS White Musk because the latter also only lasts 2 hours on my skin and it’s much more expensive.
