CAS: 541-91-3

Smells of: warm, sweet musk
Role: musk / fixative

L-Muscone opens with a rich, warm, and slightly sweet muskiness that has a smooth, velvety texture. As it develops, it reveals a deeper, more complex animalic character that adds a sensual warmth to the blend without being overpowering. This material is particularly effective at enhancing the longevity and depth of compositions, making it a reliable fixative in both floral and oriental fragrances. It pairs well with other musks, such as Galaxolide, to create a layered effect, and can also soften the edges of woody notes in more masculine scents. The typical usage in formulas ranges from 0.066% to 0.84%, with a common dose around 0.190%.
