Musk is one of the most penetrating and persistent chemical compounds, which distinctly expels scent in millions of cubic feet

Musk is one of the most penetrating and persistent chemical compounds, which distinctly expels scent in millions of cubic feet of air without any visible weight loss.

There's almost no perfume that lacks musk, as it gives power and endurance odor to vegetable flavors, like floral, tobacco or woody.

The active principle of the musk is muscone, an oily liquid, but the musk also contains ammonia and fatty matters. Because of the ammonia, concentrated musk has a stinky odor, but once diluted, you will feel the pleasant strong musk scent.

Muscone is very slightly soluble in water but miscible with alcohol (that's why many perfumes contain alcohol).

But which is the source of musk?

Musk is secreted by a gland in the abdomen of the male musk deer.

Musk deer are somehow related to true deer, but are much smaller, 7-17 kg (18-43 pounds), do not have antlers and possess huge tusks (see the skull).

The male deer

produce musk which acts as sexual pheromone during the courtship (hence, maybe, the human fascination for the musk).

The word musk comes through Persian and Latin from Old Sanskrit "mushkas" ("testes").
