What Is Musk — Beyond the Hype

“Musk” is more than a single scent. Historically, real musk came from the glands of musk deer — intensely animalic, musky, and long‑lasting.

Today, ethical and regulatory standards mean most modern “musk” in perfumery is synthetic or plant‑derived — but that doesn’t make it simple.

Musk is versatile: sometimes powdery and clean, sometimes deep and sensual, sometimes woody or skin‑like.

Because of this versatility, calling something “just a musk fragrance” doesn’t tell you much about how it will smell on you, how long it lasts, or whether it fits your style and context.
