Coty Musk EDC in detail
Musk EDC comes from Coty. This one is the Eau de Cologne.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €19. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs less than Bath & Body Works In The Star and Afnan Perfumes Afnan Turathi Blue.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Afnan Perfumes Afnan Turathi Blue and Initio Parfums Prives Mystic Experience last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Coty perfumes worth knowing

Best season for Musk
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to spring. Ranked by season: fall, winter, summer and spring.
For work or for evenings
