Muscol
Warm, musky-animalic with a woody, slightly leathery depth. Muscol is a synthetic musk that reaches toward the animalic warmth of natural musk — less clean, more primal.

Цікавий факт
The quest to synthesize natural musk's character has occupied perfumery chemists for over a century. Natural musk from the musk deer contains muscone, a macrocyclic ketone — but the deer's secretion also contains hundreds of other compounds that create an extraordinarily complex scent no single synthetic molecule has replicated.

У парфумерії
Base note in animalic, leather, and warm-amber compositions. Muscol provides musk character with animalic warmth — useful where polycyclic musks would be too clean or sanitized. Works in leather accords, animalic ambers, and compositions evoking warmth and intimacy. Pairs with labdanum, castoreum, and amber materials.
