GALAXOLIDE (MUSK)

Galaxolide is a synthetic musk associated with a clean musky character. It is a specific fragrance material from IFF, rather than the name of a flower, a moss or a general white-musk blend. Suppliers describe it as a powerful musk that can work alongside other fragrance materials without necessarily obscuring them. A clean impression can therefore still have considerable presence.

Chemically, Galaxolide belongs to the polycyclic musks; it is not an animal-derived musk extract. Perfumers may combine it with other musks to adjust the character of a composition. Although the material is known for persistence, its use does not guarantee a particular wear time or strength in a finished perfume. Explore the whole fragrance to judge how clearly its musky aspect emerges and how the surrounding notes shape it.
