"  For a sexy, come-hither vibe look for a scent that has a hint of musk. &amp;quot;A lot of people think they don&amp;#039;t like musk, but musks are actually really sophisticated now,&amp;quot; says Robin Coe-Hutshing, founder of StudioBeautyMix at Fred Segal and Memoire Liquide Bespoke Perfumery. &amp;quot;It used to be that musk was extracted from animal sources, so it wasn&amp;#039;t the most pleasant smell\u2014in the `60s especially, musk had a reputation for being a dark, dank street scent. But nowadays there are light, sheer musks that smell lovely.&amp;quot; In fact, contrary to the stigma surrounding musk, Coe-Hutshing says that many perfumes contain it: &amp;quot;Musk is a really good stabilizing force in the bottom notes of most fragrances\u2014it helps to seal the scent into your skin, and it&amp;#039;s not present in a percentage that you&amp;#039;ll notice.&amp;quot; Coe-Hutshing equates a classic white musk to white paint, explaining that &amp;quot;if you&amp;#039;re painting and you have something red that you want to turn pink, you mix in white paint to make it pastel. That&amp;#039;s the same way we work with fragrances; if we have a scent that&amp;#039;s a little harsh and we want to soften it, we add some musk.&amp;quot; To create your perfect musky perfume, visit the new Memoire Liquide counter at Bloomingdale&amp;#039;s 59th Street in New York City (other locations include NYC&amp;#039;s Henri Bendel and Fred Segal in Santa Monica). You can also virtually mix and match fragrances on the web. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
