Musk Perfumes & Colognes: 11,945 Fragrances With Musk

Musk perfumes are among the most common in our catalog: musk appears in 11,945 fragrances, 96% of the time as a base note. Musk is a soft, warm, skin-like scent that adds a clean or slightly sensual depth to a fragrance. Natural deer musk is no longer used, so modern musks are synthetic, long-lasting base notes and fixatives. It is most often paired with lily of the valley, rose and jasmine, and these perfumes tend to be floral and fresh. Well-known examples include L'Aventure by Al Haramain, Club de Nuit Intense Man by Armaf and Libre by Yves Saint Laurent.
