Cumin up top and castoreum underneath call for restraint — one touch is plenty, and the extra spray turns intrusive fast. Projection stays moderate and the wear runs to about eight hours, which makes it an autumn evening or weekend scent rather than anything for a shared office.

Not rated yet — be the firstAn unapologetically animalic musk, opened on cumin, with castoreum and civet giving a warmth nothing scrubs away. The first half hour makes no concessions; it draws in closer afterwards.
