This article is about the musk odor. For other uses, see Musk (disambiguation). Musk is a class of aromatic substances commonly used as base notes in perfumery. They include glandular secretions from animals such as the musk deer, numerous plants emitting similar fragrances, and artificial substances with similar odors.
Ironically, musk can also smell like an animal, such as the scent of a deer's sexual organs at the base of its tail marking its territory. Several hybrid musk roses known for their musk fragrances include Pax, Felicia, Cornelia Buff Beauty, Daphne and Vanity.
