This is about the best Egyptian Musk I've found so far. It has a warm musky feel to it, but still has a very slight bit of a powdery tone mixed with a hint of earthyness. I've tried so many different EM and everyone who reviews them says they're looking for "the one they used in the 1990's." I think I'm going to stop looking myself and stick with this one. It's as close to the classic EM scent as I've found. 4 instead of 5 stars because or the powdery scent, even though it is very mild, and the scent doesn't last more then a couple hours on me. Everyone has a different chemical makeup so it migjt smell different and last longer on someone else.
