Musk

Musk adds a soft, warm, and skin-like depth to fragrances. Its character is powdery, slightly sweet, and subtly sensual, with a gentle, clean aura. As a note, musk blends other accords seamlessly and provides an elegant, long-lasting, and modern foundation.

Chemistry and Molecular Structure

Modern musk notes are based on synthetic molecules such as white musk compounds. These create a soft, powdery, and slightly sweet effect. Depending on the molecule, musk can appear clean, creamy, or warm and is widely used to round out and extend fragrances.
