got this as a sample with a bottle order. not something i would have picked to try, but now that i have it i'll finish the sample. probably won't reorder, but that's because i have another source for this exact scent: Morning Star brand incense in their Amber scent.
i get zero patchouli, zero mandarin, possibly the faintest trace of sandalwood, but mostly this is just amber. i'd say it is amber on a bed of Jovan Musk.

this smells like an old perfume. i don't mean spoiled or gone-bad, just a perfume from a very long time ago. it is not musky or "oriental" in any way, to my nose/on my skin. it is VERY powdery. not J&J baby powder, but a definite dusting powder type scent.
it does remind me a little bit of something from Avon... something i tried a long time ago, and not since, so i'm going by scent memory alone here. maybe Soft Musk?
someone else's review mentioned comparison to Skin Musk, but no, not at all in my opinion.

I've been looking for a purer (than FS's Baby Powder, others that are Chypres) "Talc Powder" smell, and this is closest i've found after 7 years search. Although this smell was common until the 1990s, its all but gone now, replaced with all the crappy "Mountain Berry" Fresh garbage scents and Fougres. If you want to smell like the Owner of a Shipping company c 1890 (before Oriental Spices were "Chypred"), cleaned up and out on the town on Sat. night, try this ! Alomost hauntingly classic !!!

This was an interesting sampler to try! The Oriental Musk smelled very much like a vanilla-woods-musk blend on my skin, though vanilla is not in the notes. It's heady and heavy musk blend that works better at night and in cool weather for me. The drydown of Oriental Musk does become softer and somewhat reminiscent of a cross between Coty Wild Musk and Parfums de Coeur Skin Musk.
