Perfume can be filed under something that never gets old. A quality scent is comforting, revealing, and soothing. Musk, a note that can be described as earthy, woody, animalistic, and intoxicating are hard to miss. It’s one of those fragrance base notes that smells like your skin but better and lasts for a long time.
The best part about musk fragrances is that they’re mysterious—meaning their scent settles into everyone’s skin differently. It was hard, but we’ve narrowed down our winning circle of musk fragrances that all smell special in their own way.

Down below follows all-time favorite musky perfumes
Diptyque Do Son
With the white flower tuberose as its core, this white musky scent is strong yet not overpowering. Accompanying notes of amber wood, jasmine, and orange blossom complement this scent that smells like a bouquet. A spicy, summer scent with a current of sea breeze running through it.
Women’s Rose Atlantic EDP
Imagine the perfect unisex fragrance that’s an alluring mix of the summer wind, grass, and rose. Sounds like heaven, no? We’d say this D.S. & Durga fragrance comes close to that mix, with top notes of bergamot, petals, and lemon oil, and heart notes of linden rose accord, and dune grass. At the base, you’ll find saltwater, white moss, and muscone.

Le Labo Rose 31
An eco-conscious, ambiguous scent that smells amazing on just about everyone is Rose 31. With a ladylike note of centifolia rose partnered with masculine notes of cumin, olibanum, cedar, musk, and amber, this is the best of both worlds.
