Note
white musk
The clean cousin of musk. Synthetic, soapy, slightly powdery. The note that modern fragrances use to 'close' a composition. Reads as 'fresh out of the shower' at saturation, nearly invisible at moderation. Galaxolide and habanolide are the workhorses.
⊛ how it wears
- soft and close to the skin
⊛ where it tends to sit
mostly in the base, sometimes in the heart, rarely on top.
