Recreation of  deer musk by IFF Description and usage notes: This is based on Galaxolide, but tweaked by IFF who manufacture it to be more animalic and more akin to natural deer musk. Description from IFF: “musk, animal, leather.” Don't underestimate how different the odour of this material is from Galaxolide: this is an animalic musk with a much 'dirtier' connotation. Note that this blend will solidify at low temperatures and once that has happened will often re-crystallise even when relatively warm: if that happens warm it gently in a hot water bath to melt it again - don’t use the material until it’s all fully liquid - because this is a blend it may not crystallise evenly.
