Musk fragrances

Musk is one of the most important and fundamental ingredients in perfumery, known for its warm, sensual, animalistic, and long-lasting properties. Historically, it was obtained from the gland of the male musk deer. It has been used in perfumery for thousands of years, especially in ancient civilizations like Egypt, Rome, and Persia, due to its long-lasting scent and its ability to act as a fixative and enhance other fragrances. Musk often smells different on each person due to its complexity, as it interacts with individual body chemistry. This makes it a popular choice for those seeking a personal, long-lasting fragrance. Due to ethical concerns and the near extinction of the musk deer, natural musk is now rarely used. Synthetic musk, also known as 'white musk', is the modern alternative that mimics the scent and its properties while being more sustainable. Synthetic musk is a softer and less animalistic scent compared to natural musk. It is often described as soft, clean, and powdery. Today, musk is a key ingredient in many perfumes, adding depth and warmth to them. In our range, we only have pure synthetic musk.
