Tonkin musk

Tonkin musk is a soft textural note that creates warmth, smoothness, and a skin-like finish. It can feel clean, powdery, woody, velvety, slightly fruity, or fabric-like depending on the accord. In perfumery, these notes help bind the formula, soften stronger materials, and extend wear without dominating the fragrance. Tonkin musk pairs well with florals, woods, citrus, amber, iris, fruits, suede, vanilla, and transparent modern musks.
