The note presents a multifaceted profile, ranging from clean, powdery and soapy to intensely animalic, musky, and even slightly fecal in its natural form. Synthetic versions often lean towards a soft, creamy sweetness, offering a sense of warmth and skin-like intimacy. The projection can vary widely; some musks are barely perceptible whispers, while others are assertive and diffusive. The longevity is generally excellent, acting as a fixative and grounding the other notes. Some variations display a velvety, almost tactile texture.
