Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

How does this compare to deer musk?

Several customers describe muskrat musk as less aggressive than deer musk, with a softer and warmer character. One reviewer noted it reminds them of vintage synthetic musks rather than the deer variety. It lends a subtle, animalic note that blends well rather than dominating a composition.

Will this scent last on skin?

Yes—many reviewers note it is very tenacious and lasts for hours when worn directly on skin. One customer specifically mentions it lasts a surprisingly long time, particularly when applied to pulse points.

Can I wear it alone, or just blended?

Both work. The product description and reviews confirm it is effective both as a single fragrance and as a blending ingredient. Some reviewers found wearing it straight to be subtle, making it ideal for adding a musky note to other scents rather than as a standalone perfume.

What does this scent actually smell like?

Reviewers describe a grassy, fur-like undernote covered by subtle floral sweetness in the dry-down, with warm, incense-like qualities. One customer noted earthy, almost aquatic qualities, while another compared it to vintage musk perfume from their childhood. The scent profile is softer and more refined than raw animalic musks.

Does it blend well with other fragrances?

Yes—customers report successful blends with other oils. One reviewer mixed it with leather and animalic notes, another combined it with ouds and found it toned down their bite while adding musky floral sweetness, and another mixed it with Tulum rain to create a powdery, sweet scent.

What is it made from?

According to the product description, it is prepared from muskrat musk glands tinctured in alcohol, then transferred to fractionated coconut oil for stability and long shelf life. The material comes from muskrats that were trapped for fur, making use of material that would otherwise go to waste.

Does it come with an applicator?

Yes—one reviewer specifically mentioned it comes with a nice dropper, which makes it easier to apply and control dosage.

Is this product good quality?

The vast majority of reviewers rate it highly and describe excellent quality and craftsmanship. Many note it is hard to find elsewhere and return as repeat customers. A couple of reviews mention disappointment, but these appear to represent a small minority of purchasers.

Though intended for use as an ingredient in perfume blends, Muskrat Musk Oil has a wonderful aroma and effect when used on its own.
It lasts a surprisingly long time on the skin.

Animal musks have been a vital part of perfumery for centuries. It adds sensuous animalic and arousing aphrodisiac elements in our creations. Many musks are considered base notes and fixatives in perfumes. They transform botanical perfumes and add extra dimension and a sense of "Down and dirty" or physical arousal and attraction.

Several animals around the world produce similar musk fragrance compounds.
Among them, are the Musk Deer, Musk crocodile, musk ox, musk duck and of course, the Musk Rat.

Muskrat Musk oil is prepared from the fresh scent glands of the north American Muskrat, tinctured in alcohol for an extended period. The aromatic compounds are then transferred to Fractionated Coconut oil which has an extremely long shelf life. Like Jojoba oil, Fractionated Coconut oil will not oxidize or go rancid.

These animals were trapped for their fur and much of this material goes to waste.

"The Musk Rat, or Ondatra zibethicus in Latin, is native to North America. Its specific name, zibethicus, means ‘musky,’ being the adjective of zibethus, Zibad, ‘civet musk; civet,’ or Civet-like in Latin. The genus name comes from the Huron word for the animal, ondathra, and entered New Latin as Ondatra via French".(Wikipedia).

It lends a soft, warm animalic note to perfumes and has an alluring sensuousness when applied directly to the skin, especially on pulse points.

Should we use animal products in our food, cosmetics and aromatic materials? I have found that there is no universal answer that suits us all.

I believe that only by engaging and cultivating our own intimately personal relationship with Nature can we plot our path and divine our code of ethics. Only then can we be responsible and responsive to Nature's needs, true to ourselves, and make informed choices that ultimately affect us all globally.

Even though this oil is much more labour intensive and requires more raw material to produce, I have kept the price the same as the tincture of Muskrat and affordable for everyone.
