Спосіб отримання
Since obtaining deer musk requires killing the endangered animal, nearly all musk fragrance used in perfumery today is synthetic. Natural musk comes from the pod of the male musk deer; on drying, the reddish-brown paste inside turns into a black granular material called musk grain, which is then tinctured with alcohol. An artificial musk was obtained by Albert Baur in 1888 by condensing toluene with isobutyl bromide in the presence of aluminium chloride and nitrating the product.

У парфумерії
Musks are commonly used as base notes in perfumery. Synthetic musks serve as fixatives and supply the base note of many perfume formulas. Natural musk has been held to give a perfume long-lasting power as a fixative. Synthetic musks are also used in cosmetics, detergents and foods, as flavorings and fixatives. Macrocyclic lactones from some plants are used as substitutes for animal musk or to alter the smell of a mixture of other musks.
