Tangerine, Cedrat and Meyer Lemon are incredibly sweet notes in the citrus family - so much so I worked some Lime into the accord to add more of a sour, tart depth. They are also very strong (I have used naturals not AC's which is my preference with citrus notes) and noticeable 1-2 hours after the fragrance opens and this is what (presumably) you will be smelling as I certainly can when I wear the fragrance, I get around 6 to 7 hours from the citrus notes which is phenomenal in a fragrance.
The white musk's in Bombora serve two functions, they are first and foremost fixitives (I used 6 different white musk compounds in Bombora) and are also used to add diffusion to the accord, particularly in the heart and top notes where two of the newer compounds I used produce an amplification effect of certain aspects of the top note accord. I would be very surprised if you could detect the musk accord though as part of the fragrance as its a very small percentage of my overall design. You may also be getting the heart note marine accord, it's fairly complex and does have a broad dimensional aldehydic and floral facets, my thinking is you are still experiencing the citrus tops though.
I would also prefer you lay off posting my samples in your SOTD pics, the intention is with samples you get to enjoy them privately and comment on them in public, rather than have them in pictures prior to them being available to everybody
Thanks for the explination. I was guessing with the musk, google said it was sweet.
I'll give the EdT another run tomorrow from the morning. Keen to experience it through out the day.
I was actually thinking maybe not to post the sample. Sorry!
