Application
There are synthetic musk pure and plant essence alternatives that are used in fragrance.
The most widely used is Muscone, an organic compound with a base of Citronellol. Yes, that Citronellol.
Other alternatives are Angelica Root, the Musk Mallow, and Indoles - oils found in flowers, primarily Jasmine, that create a ‘dirty’, earthy, animalic tone.
Most synthetic Musks are labeled as ‘White Musk’.
