Description
Confidence Dose Honey Musk is a 2018 IBRAQ Dose Collection release combining saffron, honey and orange with plumeria, coffee, tonka, vanilla, tobacco, musk and oakmoss. Product Overview IBRAQ UK sells the 75ml Eau de Parfum at £39.99 at time of checking. Fragrantica dates it to 2018, which is important when discussing later fragrances that community members say it resembles. Scent Profile Honey and orange give the opening a sweet citrus glow while saffron adds warmth. Coffee and tonka deepen the heart without making it smell like a literal coffee fragrance. Vanilla, tobacco, musk and oakmoss create a dense but controlled base, with the tobacco typically reported as smoother than the name might suggest. Technical Structure and Development The opening is brighter than the drydown. Honey remains present as the fragrance moves into coffee and tonka, then the base becomes more musky, vanilla rich and tobacco tinted. Oakmoss keeps the sweetness from becoming completely syrupy. Performance Community feedback is consistently strong for the price. Multiple reviewers describe excellent longevity and noticeable projection, though individual reports range from strong working day wear to significantly longer. Wear Scenarios • Cool weather • Evening wear • Dates and social settings • Anyone who likes honey, vanilla and tobacco without an aggressively smoky profile Scent Family Positioning Confidence Dose Honey Musk sits in the vanilla amber style lane, with honey, tobacco and musk giving the fragrance its warmer depth. Inspired By and Style Comparisons Reviewers frequently mention Xerjoff Naxos and Dior Vanilla Diorama style territory. Confidence Dose launched in 2018, before Vanilla Diorama in 2021, so it should not be described as a straightforward copy of that later release. The Atlas should keep Original Creation while acknowledging the shared modern honey vanilla tobacco space. Flankers and Variations It is part of the four fragrance Dose Collection alongside Happiness Dose Rose Tobacco, Hope Dose Citrus Amber and Proud Dose Spicy Oud. Market and Community Reception Fragrantica shows a rating around 4.5 out of 5 from roughly 70 votes and more than ten reviews. Positive comments repeatedly cite value, compliments, smooth honey and strong performance. A minority find the tobacco too prominent or the texture dusty, but overall reception is clearly favourable.

Atlas Insight
Why It Stands Out
Confidence Dose Honey Musk pairs a sweet honey and orange opening with coffee and tonka in the heart, then a dense but controlled vanilla, tobacco, musk and oakmoss base. Fragrantica shows around 4.5 out of 5 from roughly 70 votes with more than ten reviews, multiple reviewers specifically citing strong compliments and excellent longevity for the 39.99 price.
Who Should Buy It
This is for cool weather evening wear, dates and social settings, and specifically anyone who wants honey, vanilla and tobacco without an aggressively smoky profile. The oakmoss keeps the sweetness from tipping into syrup, making it a good pick for buyers who find some honey vanilla fragrances cloying.
Who Should Skip It
A minority of reviewers find the tobacco too prominent or the texture dusty, so if you want a purely sweet gourmand with no tobacco presence at all, this is not that fragrance. Reported longevity ranges from strong working day wear to significantly longer, so treat any specific hour claim as variable rather than fixed.
Compared With The Original
This is an Original Creation, so there is no direct original fragrance to compare it with. It should be judged on its own scent profile, structure and performance.
Best Alternative If This Isn't For You
For the same Dose Collection with rose and incense replacing the honey, Happiness Dose Rose Tobacco is the closer, more traditionally spiced tobacco sibling. If tobacco is the issue entirely, Hope Dose Citrus Amber swaps it out for a drier, patchouli led aromatic.
