DESCRIPTION

Muscenone® is one of the most refined and appreciated musky molecules in modern perfumery, known for its soft, elegant, and naturally sensual profile. Its aroma is a clean, slightly animalic musk, with warm, velvety, and powdery nuances that evoke the sensation of warmed skin and a discreet yet persistent sensuality.

Belonging to the family of macrocyclic musks, Muscenone® combines olfactory naturalness, safety, and excellent biodegradability, making it a preferred choice in contemporary formulations.

It is a reference raw material in both fine and artistic perfumery and high-end scented cosmetics, where it provides depth, roundness, and sensorial comfort.

 

PERFUMERY

In perfumery, Muscenone® is a base note used to impart softness, sensuality, and continuity to compositions. Its warm skin-musk profile makes fragrances more rounded, enveloping, and harmonious, without becoming overpowering.

It blends perfectly with white flowers, rose, iris, amber, soft woods, and gourmand notes, acting both as an elegant fixative and a cohesive olfactory element.

It is particularly appreciated in niche, unisex, and “skin-scent” fragrances, where it creates an intimate, sophisticated, and long-lasting trail.

 

Olfactory family: Animalic

Olfactory pyramid: Base note

 

COSMETICS

In cosmetics, Muscenone® is used as a fragrance ingredient to impart a warm, clean, and refined musky note to products. Its elegant, long-lasting profile enhances the perceived quality of the formulation without overshadowing other aromatic components.

It is ideal for creams, lotions, body oils, haircare products, and cleansers, where it adds a sensation of comfort and discreet luxury.

Thanks to its excellent stability, it maintains its olfactory character over time, even in complex cosmetic bases.
