CONTEXTModern perfumery commonly uses synthetic musk materials; the exact formula varies by fragrance.

Musk is a broad fragrance family rather than one single smell. Modern musk effects are often created with aroma materials that can feel clean, cotton-like, powdery, warm or close to skin.

Musk is frequently used to smooth a composition and extend its softer base. Paired with rose it can feel intimate; with woods or amber it can become warmer and more enveloping.
