Musk scent notes

Soft, sensual, and skin-like warmth.

Related names: white musk

Musk is the soft, skin-like warmth at the bottom of most fragrances. It once came from animals. Today almost every musk in perfumery is made in the lab, built from clean, powdery molecules often sold as white musk.

Musk sits in the base of almost every fragrance, where it rounds off a blend and helps it last. It goes with nearly everything, and it is especially good under light notes like lily of the valley, marine notes and violet.
