muskiest

Strongest animal scent

Muskiest is the superlative of musky, meaning having the strongest musky quality—that heavy, earthy scent associated with musk, certain animals, or pungent body odor.

The muskiest cologne in his collection overwhelmed the room.

The word can describe smells ranging from attractively primal to unpleasantly rank.
