oddly enough it really did make me think of silk. i was instantly transported to a night at the symphony in a black silk sheath dress. love it!

Unlike SATIN and LACE, two of the other Parfums Intimes by Victoria's Secret, SILK is not a framed single-note linear. Instead, this edp opens with a burst of unmistakeable mandarin zest and then moves into a warm, somewhat nondescript skin scent.

The sandalwood and musk mingle together so as to mute one another and leave a very light layer behind. The staying power here is much less than that of the other Parfums Intimes, but my impression is that this one is intended to be more subtle than CASHMERE, which is also a skin scent of sorts but with fairly strong vanilla-tinged jasmine that lasts on and on.

"Floral Woody Musk" always strikes me as a catch category for "n'importe quoi". In case this, it means "pleasant skin scent". Nothing really original or memorable--I never really picked up on the mimosa. On the other hand, it would be very hard to be offended by this scent. The sharp mandarin dissipates in a matter of minutes, after which only warm softness lingers behind.

I bought the body spray and it has no staying power at all. But the fragrance is wonderful!
I love the orange and sandalwood scent and how they combine together.
It's perfect for summer through fall. I have not tried the perfume.
I wish I had known the staying power was non-existence with this, I feel I wasted my money. Hopefully someone else will read this and take my word for it and not spend your hard earned money on perfume that doesn't last 10 mins on you..

I smelled this one yesterday, and this is very classy, light, warm and sexy. (It's the sandalwood, but it's a light touch, almost a skin scent.)

I would wear it on a warm summer night, when you want to flirt a little.
I am guessing this is not work-appropriate, unless you have a very casual atmosphere.

Pretty wide age range -- I would put this one at 25-45.
