As much as we love a floral perfume that transcends all seasons, or a spicy scent for fall and winter, everyone needs a musky eau de parfum to round out their fragrance wardrobe. For those new to the perfume category, musk is a unisex aroma that isn't as easily identifiable as an fairly recognizable note like rose or citrus. Instead, it's usually in the background, a grounding base note that can range from clean and earthy to elusively animalistic. Ahead, find five of our favorite musky perfumes to consider scooping up in 2022 — along with details on each to find the best option for you.Best True Musk PerfumeKiehl's Since 1851 Original Musk Eau de Toilette SprayThis musk fragrance has been on beauty shelves since 2004, but the brand believes the original version was created in the 1920s. At the time, it was aptly named "Love Oil," a testament to its seductive composition. It opens with a citrus burst of bergamot nectar and orange blossom, followed by a soft floral bouquet of rose, lily, ylang-ylang, and neroli, and rounded out with a lingering base of Tonka nut, white patchouli, and — you guessed it — musk.
