The use of musk as a perfume fragrance note is by no means a new phenomenon. Musk aromas have been inspiring the perfume world for years. Originally, musk was considered a precious drug used in traditional medicine in India, China and Persia. For reasons of species protection, musk is now produced purely synthetically for the manufacture of perfumes and other care products. However, the seductive effect of the perfume remains.

Musk fragrances are very popular, which is why we have several fragrances in our range that contain musk. These include, for example,
Musk, which comes from the male musk deer, is banned in this country and is not used at all as the animals are highly endangered. Fortunately, there are methods of producing this wonderful fragrance using plants or synthetics, which smell just as good and do not involve any animal suffering
No! Musk is a perfect all-rounder for unisex fragrances due to its tart and sweet notes. Musk perfumes are excellent for both men and women
The structure of the musk scent is similar to the messenger substances of pheromones. Although you cannot consciously smell these scents, they contain special messenger substances that can influence mating behavior in the brain
Traditionally, the substance musk is of animal origin and comes from male musk deer. In many countries, "real" musk was highly sought after and was widely used in Chinese and Arabic medicine. This musk is an oily liquid that comes from the gland on the animal's belly. The male musk deer used the smell of the secretion to attract females during mating. Until the 1950s, the wild animals living in India had to be killed to obtain these secretions. Since then, musk farms have been operated in China to extract the secretions by scraping out the musk sacs. As this practice is not environmentally friendly and harms the animals, it is banned in many parts of the world. Fortunately, however, no one has to do without the unique smell. Muscone, the main ingredient in musk, is produced synthetically in the perfume world or extracted from the essential oils of various plants.
The animal substance has been used in traditional medicine for hundreds of years. Musk was very valuable because it was said to have invigorating, invigorating, nerve-strengthening and antispasmodic properties. As the original fragrance contained pheromones, musk was also considered an aphrodisiac and seductive agent. Even today, musk perfume is considered a guarantee if you want to attract and seduce someone. The fragrance combines a certain animal note reminiscent of leather with a clear, sweet note. Together, this delightful bouquet of tart and sweet-smelling accords evokes the warmth of the human body. Musk perfume therefore conveys a seductive allure and a feeling of security at the same time. Because of these properties, we at Birkholz like to use musk as an ingredient in our perfumes. The substance also adheres to the skin for a particularly long time and ensures a long-lasting fragrance experience. With the right dosage, musk is a wonderful accompanying note whose animal component is wonderfully subtle and lends our compositions a velvety and warm undertone
