Musky is the most personal note any perfume can wear. The smell of skin warmed under a sweater, of hair recently slept on, of the inside of a coat. Real musk came from animals once and now comes mostly from molecules, but its function is unchanged: to suggest the body that wears the fragrance. Musky accords are the great connective tissue of perfumery — they bind the other notes to a person, give them a place to land. Wear musk when you want to smell like yourself but more so, when you want intimacy built into the bottle.
