Perfumes with White Musk

White musk smells clean, soft, slightly powdery and soapy, a sheer musk that recalls freshly laundered cotton, warm skin and the feeling just after a shower. It is an entirely synthetic note with no single natural source.

Perfumers build it by combining several laboratory-made musk molecules, creating a bright and gentle effect without the animalic side of traditional musk. Because it lasts a long time, white musk sits mainly in the base. It pairs well with lily of the valley, rose, peony, pear, bergamot, iris, vanilla and cedar, and it is a common foundation for clean, airy fragrances.

White Musk appears in 7,906 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue and is used mostly as a base note.
