Musky
A "musky" scent in fragrance is characterized by a warm, subtle, and complex aroma that can be described as powdery, sweet, and earthy. It often evokes a sense of animalistic or sensual quality, sometimes likened to the scent of skin or baby's skin. Musk is a base note in perfumery, meaning it lingers and provides depth and warmth to a fragrance.
Musks are not overpowering or strong, but rather have a gentle, enveloping presence. They blend elements of powdery, sweet, woody, and earthy notes, creating a rich and nuanced aroma. Some musks evoke a sense of skin, while others are more overtly animalistic, reflecting their origins in animal secretions.
Lingering and Durable:
As a base note, musk provides lasting power and depth to fragrances, ensuring they linger on the skin and clothing.
Musk can be blended with a wide range of other fragrance notes, from florals and spices to woods and amber, to create a variety of different scent profile.
