What is musky fragrance?

Musky fragrance refers to a scent profile that features musk, a strong, earthy aroma originally derived from the glandular secretions of musk deer. In modern perfumery, synthetic musk compounds are commonly used to replicate this scent, which is often described as warm, sensual, and slightly sweet. Musky fragrances are frequently used as base notes in perfumes, adding depth and richness to the overall scent. They can evoke a sense of intimacy and allure, making them popular in both men's and women's fragrances.
