A note that doesn’t scream, but lingers. For some it smells like linen sheets, for others like freshness after a shower, or something soft and warm. That’s musk — so different for everyone.
Historically, musk was extracted from animals. Today, it’s created synthetically, which is ethical and safe. Musks are mostly used in the base of fragrances. They stay for a long time on the skin, leaving a gentle trail, even after other notes fade.
