Muscenone

Almost every write up about this calls it an elegant macrocylic musk, in the nitro-musk vein similar to musk ketone. If that doesn't tell you what you need to know, think about the soft, powdery vintage musks that anchor classics like Shalimar, Habinita and Emeraude. The animalic element is less leather and more fur with muscenone and the tenacity is endless.
