Musk – sensual icon of the perfume world
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.
