I've tried a few versions of Egyptian Musk and each one has their own unique vibe. I love the sweet undertones in Kuumba's version, and this is the second bottle I've purchased from them. I tend to be anosmic to musk and smell it at first, then get whiffs throughout the day, while others are still smelling it strongly and complimenting me. I've found with skin scents like Egyptian Musk and Persian Garden, they perform best in the heat, or when your body is warm. This one is thick and sticks around for quite awhile. I've applied it in the evening and smelled it when I woke up. Spring and summer is the perfect time to try this one!
