"Musky" refers to a strong, earthy scent often associated with certain animals, particularly musk deer. This odor is produced by glands in these animals and is used for communication and attracting mates. The term can also describe fragrances in perfumes that aim to replicate this natural scent. In addition to its animal origins, "musky" is commonly used in the context of fragrance and aromatherapy. Many perfumes incorporate musky notes to create a warm, sensual aroma. This scent is often considered comforting and is popular in both personal care products and home fragrances.
