Tonkin Musk

Tonkin musk is a highly prized animalic note derived from the dried secretions of the musk deer. It has a rich, warm, and sensual scent with musky, earthy, and slightly sweet undertones. Tonkin musk is considered one of the finest and most valuable natural musks, historically used in the most exclusive and luxurious perfumes.

Tonkin musk evokes a sense of luxury, sophistication, and sensuality. It is often associated with feelings of warmth, comfort, and intimacy. Fragrances featuring this note are typically best suited for evening wear or special occasions, as the scent can be quite powerful and long-lasting.

Tonkin musk is typically used as a base note in fine fragrances, providing a rich, sensual foundation. It is often paired with other animalic notes, woody accords, and warm spices to create complex, luxurious scent profiles. Due to its rarity and high cost, Tonkin musk is primarily found in niche and high-end perfumes.
