A beautiful warm musk that gives an ethereal feel of coziness by the fire on a cold Autumn day rugged up in a cashmere sweater. Thats the impression I get with this lovely accord. Very present, smooth and silky. I can detect a slight dark berry nuance floating around in the background, but not in your face at all. Very nice, strong warm musk that would be more beneficial in trace amounts or in high dilution, unless your were aiming for an exrtemely musky profile in your formulations.
