Looking for a musk....

[Bella318]

So, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to musk fragrances and in search of answers =P

I've never been much a "musk person," but recently took a whiff Vanilla Bean Noel and fell in loooove! I've noticed on several sites that musk is a scent ingredient in this heavenly fragrance... but what type of musk??! I've searched and searched with no luck /=

Is there a certain type of musk that is commonly used is sweet, sugary fragrances? Something not woodsy, floral, or fruity?
I'm basically trying to find out what type of musk is used in Vanilla Bean Noel.

I'm not trying to re-create the scent as I have found an amazing dupe from Just Scent!
The main reason Im wondering what kind of musk is used in Vanilla Bean Noel is because I simply love how it ties the fragrance together.

I make a ton a sweet, sugary scented products and have been pondering how this certain musk would react with other sweet fragrances.

I can't imagine a "woodsy" or "floral" musk being combined with sweet-smelling oils. That's why I wondering if there's a certain type of musk I should used for such fragrances.

Anyone? )=

In a nutshell, I just want to know what type/s of musk would blend well with sweet, sugary fragrances?
I don't wish to make the sweet fragrance floral, just sexy, sultry... you get the idea =P

I add just a little bit of patchouli essential oil to vanilla FO with wonderful results. Sexy indeed.
