Musk perfumes

What makes a musk perfume so special?

A typical musk fragrance is its creamy, slightly sweet base, which harmoniously rounds off other fragrance notes. Musk often has a close, skin-friendly effect—as if it were the skin's natural scent, only more intense. The following characteristics are often found in a musk perfume :

• Soft & powdery – gives perfumes a gentle warmth.
• Up close & sensual – enhances the “second skin” effect.
• Versatile combinations – goes well with floral, fruity or woody notes.

Whether as the main actor or in the background: musk fragrances give a composition depth and durability.

When is a perfume with musk appropriate?

A musk perfume is an all-rounder. It can be elegant and understated for everyday wear or sensual and seductive for the evening. Typical uses include:

• In everyday life – subtle women’s perfumes with musk appear cared for and natural.
• For special occasions – more intense musk perfumes for women and men make a warm, luxurious statement.
• In the cooler seasons – musk brings warmth and depth to the fragrance.

Even in summer, a light scent with musk can score points when combined with fresh or citrus notes.
