Help Identifying Musk

[daileysc]

I am just getting in to diy perfumery, and was wondering if one of you could help me identify an extremely long lasting musk found in Body Fantasies Fresh White Musk. It is the last note in the dry down, and has lasted on my skin approximately 36 hours after a single spray. I can still detect it from approximately a foot away. It is warm, mildly sweet, not tingly, maybe slightly floral, but not fruity. Since the going price for the body spray is 6 dollars for 8 ounces, it is also probably very cheap. I was thinking ethylene brassylate, but it doesn’t seem vanillic or woody. Any help would be appreciated.

This could be mostly eb with traces of exaltolide, exaltone, muscone, muscenone, velvione. Velvione in particular is most tenacious of all of these.

It's probably not one aroma chemical and probably not just one or more musks.

True, but 36 hours on the skin has to eliminate all but a handful of musks, right? Maybe a better question would be, what musks could be in the accord at that duration. There were definitely some tingly laundry musks like galaxolide in the heart and early base, but I really don’t like those, so I know it doesn’t have that character.

Probably musk ketone.

While I can't answer your question, I can suggest another data point to look at: washed fabric substantivity. Does it linger on a piece of clothing after it's gone through the laundry? That data exists for a lot of common musks (check catalogue data from big producers like e.g. IFF, Firmenich) because they're so common in laundry products.
