Musk is a popular scent in both men’s and women’s fragrances. The smell of Musk is difficult to describe because people perceive it differently. It can smell leathery, sweet, or animalistic. The base note of several Philly&Phill perfumes is Musk. It supports the other messages and makes a scent irresistible.
Today, we will explain how Musk was extracted in the past, why it is now synthetic, and what causes the unmistakable musk smell in modern perfumery.
What does Musk actually smell like?
There are many types of Musk. For example, white Musk or Tonkin musk (from Tibet or China) or Bengal musk (from India). They do not all smell the same, but they share a similar base. There are also synthetic alternatives for many types of musk. As already stated, Musk is a good base for perfumes. It is often familiar and warm. Sometimes, it can be eroticizing, but most of the time, it is relaxing. This is due to certain components of Musk, which have a pheromone structure. These scents are what unconsciously influence our choice of partner. This is why Musk lends a smell a warm, sexy tone.
What was the source of Musk in ancient times, and what is it today?
The musk gland, or musk deer as it was known in the past, is where Musk is produced. This is expensive because one deer only makes 30 grams Of Musk. It is also not animal-friendly. Although it was once possible to extract the secretion while the animals were still alive, this would have been a waste of money and unnecessary. Since the 1970s, natural musk has no longer been used in perfumes. Instead, synthetic alternatives are now used. Now, different versions reflect different types of Musk. This is an alternative to animal products.
