Etymology

The term 'musky' originates from the late Middle Ages, derived from the late Latin word 'muscus,' which referred to a substance produced by musk deer. The use of musk as a scent can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where it was valued for its intoxicating fragrance and used in perfumes, incense, and medicinal practices. The evolution of the term into its comparative and superlative forms, such as 'muskier' and 'muskiest,' emerged over time as the fragrance became more prominent in the scented products of European markets. The notion of musk and its derivatives has been culturally significant, often evoking themes of nature and primal instincts. Today, musky scents remain popular in perfumery, often blending with floral or woody notes to create complex and alluring fragrances.
