Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
Musk Xylene (or Musk Xylol) is the gentlemen's "shaving musk". Because of its
soapy and fatty qualities, it was frequently found as part of classic fougère
type fragrances and men's colognes in general.
Perhaps its most famous overdose was in Canoe created by Jean Carles for Dana
(see our demo named "Kayak" below for the formula of this classic fougère
fragrance). It is, however, effective at very small amounts. It blends
beautifully with the other classic nitro musks which we also stock: Musk
Ambrette [https://fraterworks.com/products/musk-ambrette] and Musk Ketone
[https://fraterworks.com/products/musk-ketone].
Musk Xylene is a crystalline powder which you can add directly to your juice by
weight as it will dissolve in the blend.
IMPORTANT: Musk Xylene and Musk Ambrette are prohibited from fragrance use in
most countries. At Fraterworks we do not use either of these musks in any of our
products. We sell the musks solely so that fragrance aficionados can have access
to all the materials of classical perfumery. This should not be used in
production cosmetics or fragrances unless you are certain your target market
allows it.
NOTE: We package all high odour or high risk materials individually in separate
heat sealed aluminium bags to mitigate any risk of cross-contamination.
