Hi there.

The musk grains

are dried, from wild deer,
both Chinese and Siberian
are from Moschus
Moschiferus breed of Musk
Deer. I use these grains to
make tinctures and oils. The
hardest part is the aging
process. To make a perfume
or perfume oil, it will take at
least one year for aging in
pure perfumer's alcohol, and
in Coconut, Jojoba or
Sandalwood Oil the time will
be substantially longer, at
least 2 years. there is no way
around the aging process,
as the aging is pivotal in
acquiring the proper
fragrance maturity. Both the
Chinese and Siberian musk
are sweet musks without a
heavy "fecal" or barnyard"
type of fragrance. The
Chinese is soft and powdery
with notes of leather and a
slight aged paper scent. The
Siberian is musky, spicy, but
still soft with the smell of
sweaty skin. Other breeds of
Deer Musk from India,
Nepal, Tibet and Himalayas
are high in their "Indole"
molecules, and those types
are usually very "dirty" and
"barn yard" smelling, much
like the dirtiness of pure
Civet paste or raw
Castoreum, if you are
familiar with the way either
of those smell. It is believed
that perfume made with
musk is a natural attractant.
These grains, indeed do
contain pheromones. Some
people have a
misconception, however,
that musk is like magic,
making anyone you desire
