If you’re looking for the best men’s fragrances and colognes, chances are you’ve seen the note ‘musk’ pop up quite frequently. But the funny thing is that not many people actually know what musk is – to be honest with you, I didn’t either until fairly recently!
A quick science lesson for you – musk originally came from the glandular sac from a male musk deer… yes, really. The sac contained a liquid that was used by the deer to attract mates but when harvested, it could be dried into a musk pod which contained a powder that when mixed with alcohol, had a very nice smell – I dread to think who came up with that idea.
