Muscone is profoundly animalic and sensual—imagine the warm, musky scent of soft skin after exertion, or the intimate aroma of deer musk glands. It's oddly comforting yet deeply animalic, with creamy, almost buttery undertones and a whisper of wood smoke. Pure muscone is quite intense and rather polarising; in fragrances, it's heavily diluted to create that enveloping, skin-like warmth you'd find in cashmere or fresh laundry dried on a body-warmed surface.
