Mandarin cheesecake and clean musk

Fluffy, creamy, cuddly vanilla and musk with a lovely sweet clementine on top. The combination of warming vanilla and lively citrus often puts me in a good mood, and this is no exception. It gives me mandarin cheesecake vibes, but with enough musk and subtle florals to make it easy to wear. None of the flowers in the heart really stand out, they just keep the scent from becoming too literal of a gourmand. A touch of benzoin in the base adds extra warmth.

The musk in this is not the typical white musk that many drugstore scents have, it's a bit sharper and more modern.

I understand the comparison to Initio Musk Therapy, but the intense vanilla in Montblanc Signature makes it easy to tell them apart.
Other aspects of the scent are similar to Lattafa Yara, which I absolutely love. The color of the bottles of these two is very telling, Yara smells like the pink version of the white-yellow-gold Montblanc Signature.

This would work on most occasions and temperatures, so it would make a good signature. It's not the most complex, sophisticated scent, but it's not a super girly and playful sugar bomb either. Just a happy, creamy-clean, delicately sweet, femine perfume. The character of the scent is soft, but it's not weak, I actually find it quite dense texturally.

It's totally worth the upcharge compared to Zara Frosted Cream, which isn't as smooth and has an artificial note that this doesn't have.
