Musk Cologne & Perfume
Today I had the pleasure of a man dressed in a black skirt introduce me to a men’s cologne which combined vanilla, amber, and musk to attract a maximum number of ladies. My reason for being at Macy’s was actually to acquire a pair of shoes that a lady could appreciate, so I let him stop me and spray his expensive french cologne over various limbs.
It was then that I realized that a musk-based cologne simply simulates the odor produced by a sweaty male body. Wikipedia writes on the topic:
Musk is the name originally given to a perfume obtained from the strong-smelling substance secreted by a gland in the abdomen of the male musk deer, and hence applied to other animals, and also to plants, possessing a similar odor.
It was at that point that I wondered why–besides the hot euro-salesmen in black skirts–would anyone buy the stuff. Personally, I prefer a much more subtle scent.
