Musk
Moskus
Forførende, sensuel og dragende - musk er kendt for sine afrodisiske kræfter. Parfumører leger med et væld af syntetiske muskvarianter for at fiksere, blande og forme ingredienser i utallige berusende akkorder. Disse noter er rene og gennemsigtige og giver en fløjlsblød, hudnær effekt.
Musknoter i parfume blev tidligere udvundet fra dyrenes musk-kirtler for at give en vildtagtig, varm og sensuel tekstur. Den praksis er ulovlig i dag, og moderne musknoter er udelukkende syntetiske. Musks pikante aroma kan strække sig fra ren, metallisk og lys til meget animalsk og lige så intim som duften af varm, fugtig hud. Musk tilfører en sensuel og forførende fornemmelse til sarte feminine dufte og gør samtidig maskuline noter som tobak og læder levende ekspressive i cologner. For parfumefans, der elsker den dragende duft af varm, ren hud, er musk en uundværlig note.
Behagelig, blød, frugtig, ren, pudret og sensuel - minder om duften af hud.
Historie
Towards the end of the 19th century, musky-scented molecules were synthesized using isobutylene nitration. Thanks to organic synthesis, chemists were able to recreate musks, maintaining their fixative properties, while eliminating the dirty, fecal aspect of animal musks. Nitrated musks were followed by macrocyclic musks and then polycycli musks. Today, there are roughly 300 synthetic musks that have a pure, linear, powdery and enveloping note that is a must-have in modern perfumery for its ability to increase diffusion and add roundness to fragrances created to cater to the perfume market's current trend of comforting scents.
Produktion
Originally, the musk used in perfumes was extracted from musk deer. However, for ecological and economic reasons, today's musks are synthetically created. Commonly called white musk or transparent musk, it is created through organic synthesis and is essential for fragrance diffusion and tenacity. Fixolide, habanolide, galaxolide and ambrettolide are examples of white musks.
