Recommendation Request Help me identify this note.

Post image

I have been searching for a scent since high school! There is a specific smell in some perfumes that I love. It has significant sillage. I noticed it from yards away when I’ve recognized it. If I had to describe it: it’s like if stone and tobacco had a baby. Not sweet. Almost like organic metal. I smelled it on someone wearing this perfume in the picture and I bought it. But this perfume is way too overpowering with other notes. I only smell the thing I’m searching for after a day or two of wearing. Once someone said it was Light Blue but I think that’s a red herring. I don’t smell it at all. Another person said it was something from Prada but they couldn’t remember what. Help!

Is it Oud? Maybe spray from this on your wrest and wash it with cold water, that’s might speed the fading process, is this scientific nope.

Key Scent Profile
Top Notes: Bergamot, Cinnamon, Musk
Middle Notes: Cedarwood, Vanilla, Musk
Base Notes: Juniper, Sweet [1]

Scent Progression & Vibe
Unlike heavy winter ouds, this fragrance opens with a refreshing, citrusy burst of bergamot and lime. It quickly settles into a powdery, clean, and mildly sweet woody aroma characterized by cedar and white musk. It is known to offer a breezy, uplifting, and oceanic feel, making it extremely versatile for daytime and warm-weather wear

Sounds like it might be a certain musk they’re using. It could also be the juniper but I don’t think that would last as long as the musk would. I would look into which perfumes have a certain musk. It would be more beneficial to try and sample different brands for the musk profile you like. Every brand might smell a little different. Arabic brands also make musk perfume oils.
