Musk refers to a class of aromatic substances derived from the musk gland of certain animals, particularly the male musk deer. Traditionally, musk has been valued for its strong, pleasant scent and is commonly used in perfumery as a base note due to its lasting qualities and ability to enhance other fragrances. In modern contexts, synthetic musks are often used as alternatives, as the use of animal-derived musk has raised ethical and conservation concerns.
Additionally, the term “musk” can also refer to the specific odor or fragrance characteristic of these substances, often described as earthy, sweet, or animalic. In a broader sense, the term can also be associated with the informal representation of strong sexual allure or attraction attributed to the qualities of the scent.
