Perfumer's Notes

Musk raw materials resemble the scent of clean, warm skin and bring sensuality and depth to a fragrance. In early perfumery, musk was a raw material derived from an animal. This has been banned since the 1970s, today perfumers use natural and synthetic materials that mimic traditional musks. This is muscone, a synthetic musk. Use up to 3%.
