Note

musk

soft, close to the base.

Used to come from deer. Now all synthetic. And that's a good thing. Modern musks (white musk, ambrette, civetone) are clean, intimate, slightly soapy. They make perfumes feel close-to-skin. Most 'skin scents' lean heavily on musks — they're the modern way to make perfume feel like it's part of you.
