What is musk flavoring?

Musk is a strong, musky scent derived from the musk deer, a native of the Himalayas. Musk is used as a base note in perfumes and is also used in flavorings. Musk flavoring is made by extracting the musk aroma from the deer. It has a strong and distinctive earthy, musky, and slightly sweet aroma. It is used in the food industry to add flavor to items such as candies, chewing gums, and beverages. It is also used in aromatherapy products, as it is believed to have therapeutic properties, including reducing stress and anxiety. However, it is important to note that many musk sources are now synthetic, as hunting musk deer for their scent has been deemed illegal.
