musk oil
Musky scent extract
Musk oil is a fragrant oil with a heavy, earthy, animalistic scent, originally derived from the musk gland of male musk deer.
Modern musk oils are typically synthetic or plant-based substitutes.
Used in perfumery as a base note and fixative, musk oil anchors lighter scents and makes fragrances last longer: a few drops of musk oil in the blend.
