Musks are essential in perfumery, bringing warmth and sensuality to olfactory creations. Their use dates back centuries, providing a soft and persistent base.
Origin and History
Historically, musks came from the glands of a small deer-like animal called the musk deer. Due to ethical and ecological concerns, natural musks have been replaced by synthetic musks.
Types of Musks
Today, synthetic musks dominate the market and are divided into three main categories: nitro musks, polycyclic musks, and macrocyclic musks. Nitro musks, historically used, are now rare due to their toxicity concerns. Polycyclic musks, like galaxolide, are popular but pose environmental issues due to bioaccumulation. Macrocyclic musks, such as habanolide, are appreciated for their biodegradability and softness.
