Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Musk ketone has an animalic musky fragrance, sweet, sweaty and powdery. The
scent is not particularly strong, but because it is a solid, making a dilution
of, for example, 10% is useful. That is not easy, but with a little heating you
can dissolve it in Diethyl Phthalate (DEP) and also in Benzyl Benzoate. Typical
use is in classic, powdery musk accords. You usually use between 0,1% and 5% of
this substance in the fragrance composition. It is a completely unique scent,
the only alternatives are no longer allowed in cosmetics. The story goes that
the original version of Chanel No. 5 contained more than 10% nitromusk,
including musk ketone. In perfumes it is mainly a base note.
