Musk fragrances

Musk fragrances make skin smell clean, soft and warm, almost like your own natural scent, and are noticed mostly up close; this list shows the most popular perfumes with a dominant musky accord. The musk in modern perfumery is almost entirely synthetic, and it goes in two main directions. White musk smells of fresh laundry and cotton, while warmer musks lean towards skin, amber and a light sweetness for a more intimate feel.

Musk scents work easily at the office, day to day and up close. Some people perceive certain musk molecules less strongly, so even if it seems faint to you, others may notice it; don't overdo the sprays. Musk also layers well under other perfumes, softening them and helping them last longer. Every fragrance here has a strong musky accord and the list is sorted by popularity.
