Pure Musk by Lattafa - EDP 100ml

Product Information

The term "Musk" is referred to the penetrating animalic substance which is obtained from the musk gland (pod) of the male Musk Deer. It is possible to remove the gland without killing the animal but, unfortunately, this is hardly ever done. You'll receive what you've paid for, but please note that delays during transit are beyond our control. Musk is a very complex scent and has been described as earthy and woody, animalistic or something akin to the odor of babies’ skin.

This fragrant material was even added to mortared walls of mosques during their construction, to emanate the wonderful fragrance whenever it’s warmed by the sun. Pure Deer Musk is the most valuable of all Oils after Oudh, and the authentic pure Himalayan Deer Musk Oil is pint-to-pint more expensive and precious than gold! Musk is a name that originally designated a strong-smelling brownish substance secreted by the male of the musk deer of the genus Moschus. Deer musk has been used since antiquity and some of the first references of its use in the perfume industry point to Arab and Byzantine perfume makers of the 6th century.

In perfumery, the term “musk” doesn’t always apply to a concrete perfume component, but rather designates the overall impression of the fragrant composition.

However, musk was not used only for its olfactory features but also because of its curative properties.

Each of the adult male representatives of this animal species has a musk gland that lies in a sac positioned between the genitals and the umbilicus, and secretes powerful pheromones used to attract mates.
