The fragrance was designed to smell more virile thanks to the addition of pronounced dry woody notes conjuring up the evocation of fast and hard driving in a scorched desert atmosphere....

White Musk for Men is a clean musk cologne resting on a strongly smoky vetiver base. The smokiness is pushed to the point where it smells of burned tires and hot dry asphalt. It suggests a very masculine universe centering on the pleasures of car driving and culture. The vetiver here feels more urban than vegetal. A slight waxy nuance even suggests car wax.

There is a discreetly sweet floral facet (jasmine and lavender) to counterbalance the drier more petroleum-like notes and garage atmosphere.

The blend leaves a subtle taste of electricity and metal in the mouth, the latter impression due to the geranium leaves’ naturally steely-smelling facets. The blend however is not cold but rather hot and dry. The hotness becomes more softly warm in the longer drydown as the tonka bean releases its savory-sweet facets (the savoriness has been accented), balmy, and leathery overtones. The almost gourmand feel suggests the treat that it is to drive alone and at leisure.
The dryness and figurative elements of the composition suggests fast car driving with windows completely cranked down or, alternatively, in a convertible, perhaps in the South of France (light and crisp lavender), on a day that makes your throat feel parched and your lips sandy, yet you are reluctant to stop as you just want to feel free and step on the gas.

Top note is lavender; heart notes are geranium and crystal jasmine; base notes are vetiver, sandalwood, amber, musk, and tonka bean.
