Blue Talisman

Solid wear, measured projection: it covers the day without arriving before the wearer, which earns it a place at a desk that a heavy amber would not get. Two sprays are enough, a third in cool weather; the musky frame needs no pushing. Spring and summer first, autumn still, winter no: the framework stays too bright for cold air. Midpoint on the gender scale, so one bottle serves two people. Poor advice for anyone wanting a warm natural base, or reading synthetic musks weakly — everything here rests on them.
