Vinci and Rakos 'Earth'

Vinci & Rakos Earth is not quite the sensual musk on me that they claim it is - it is light and soapy, clean-bodied and sporty. i can understand why others think it's powdery, but i found it much less so than SL's Clair de Musc and the note turns into straight Ivory on me, in a good way. there is no real drydown in the fragrance. it remains as it is during the hours i wear it, which is appealing in its own sort of way. the life of the fragrance is about 5 hours and has no sour notes. it seems a reliable sort of fragrance, one you don't rave and gush about but one you reach for when you're looking for something completely non-offensive, totally subtle, yet nice and wonderful to smell. i like it. i like having it. it's nothing extraordinary, but it's still a nice stable scent.
