Musky Perfumes: enveloping sensuality of white musks

What is a musky perfume?

The musky family is built around the central note of musk, traditionally extracted from animal sources (Tibetan deer) and today exclusively reproduced through synthesis (Galaxolide, Iso E Super, Helvetolide). It brings together perfumes whose dominant accord cultivates white musks, ambrette (vegetal musk from hibiscus seeds), and second-skin musky accords. A family that the contemporary niche has completely renewed, with creations like Musk Therapy (Initio) or Musk Complexity (New Notes) that have become cults.
