muským

Muským is a term derived from the Greek word "mouskémos," which means "musky" or "having the scent of musk." It is often used to describe a strong, sweet, and slightly animalic fragrance that is reminiscent of the scent produced by musk deer. This fragrance note is commonly found in perfumery and is used to create a sense of depth and warmth in fragrance compositions.

Muským is typically categorized as a base note in perfumery, which means it is used in the final stage of a fragrance's development. It is known for its ability to linger on the skin, providing a long-lasting and comforting scent. The note is often used in both men's and women's fragrances, and it can be found in a variety of fragrance families, including oriental, chypre, and fougère.

The scent of muským is often described as rich, creamy, and slightly earthy. It is a versatile note that can be used to create a wide range of fragrance profiles. In perfumery, muským is often used in conjunction with other base notes such as vanilla, sandalwood, and amber to create a harmonious and well-rounded scent. It is also commonly used in the creation of fragrances for the home, such as candles and diffusers, to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
