Alluring, sensual, enticing… Musk is well-known for its aphrodisiac powers. Perfumers play with a myriad of synthetic musks to fix, blend and mold ingredients in a number of intoxicating accords. These notes are clean and transparent—lending a velvety, skinny effect.
Towards the end of the 19th century, musky-scented molecules were synthesized using isobutylene nitration. Thanks to organic synthesis, chemists were able to recreate musks, maintaining their fixative properties, while eliminating the dirty, fecal aspect of animal musks. Nitrated musks were followed by macrocyclic musks and then polycycli musks. Today, there are roughly 300 synthetic musks that have a pure, linear, powdery and enveloping note that is a must-have in modern perfumery for its ability to increase diffusion and add roundness to fragrances created to cater to the perfume market's current trend of comforting scents.
Originally, the musk used in perfumes was extracted from musk deer. However, for ecological and economic reasons, today's musks are synthetically created. Commonly called white musk or transparent musk, it is created through organic synthesis and is essential for fragrance diffusion and tenacity. Fixolide, habanolide, galaxolide and ambrettolide are examples of white musks.
