Natural Musk

What it smells like

Natural musk starts with a raw animalic edge that quickly dissolves into a skin‑like, warm, velvety sweetness. It feels sensual, enveloping, and softly creamy, offering a clean, enduring base that deepens over time. The note is used to add depth, longevity and an intimate, almost human scent to fragrances, often grounding the overall composition and providing a subtle yet persistent sillage.
