Musk in Velixir perfumes

Musk in a modern perfume is a synthetic note: the animal musk is long out of use. Musks come in many styles, from soft and skin-like to laundry-clean and powdery, and they are the quiet base of a large share of perfumes. White musk, a term seen in some lists, usually means the cleaner, brighter end of that range.
