White musks are a synthetic rendition of animalic musks, and their aroma ranges from clean and soft, to floral and sensuous. Due to their inclusion in the laundry detergent making process, most people associate white musks with the air-dried clean laundry scent. White musks also contain fixatives, which bond to certain accords and make them cling to the skin for a longer period.

Green Notes

Cedar or cedarwood is one of the oldest ingredients used in the perfumery, with its balsamic, woody aroma providing a key facet in many popular scents. Native to the Mediterranean and the Himalayas, cedarwood has been revered for its mystical and magical properties by many cultures throughout history. The Cherokee tribe believed that the human spirit was hidden in the core of cedarwood, while Tibetans used cedarwood oil in their spiritual ceremonies, and ancient Romans used the tree trunks for ship construction. In perfumery, cedarwood is primarily used as a base note, anchoring the top and middle notes of a composition. Cedarwood combines extremely well with floral and citrus notes, lending warmth, while the fragrances in which cedar is blended with musk and amber have a green and clean aroma with a retro/vintage vibe.
