MUSK
Musk is a complex, sensual fragrance note characterized by warm, soft, intimate, and slightly animalistic undertones. It has a smooth, velvety, and skin-like quality that is both clean and slightly erotic. The scent is typically powdery, slightly sweet, and incredibly long-lasting, with a remarkable ability to blend with and enhance other fragrance notes.
Origin & Extraction
Originally, musk was derived from the musk deer, a small deer native to the mountainous regions of Asia. Today, due to conservation efforts, most musk in perfumery is synthetic, created through various chemical processes that replicate the original animal-derived scent. Synthetic musks can be obtained through organic synthesis, including nitro musks, polycyclic musks, and macrocyclic musks.
