		Thus the Musk and Hybrid Musk roses are members of the Synstylae group in which Graham Stuart Thomas found this peculiarity of scent and which has the refreshingly light fragrance of the earliest musk used in the perfume trade.
		Thomas describes the original source in his Rose Book as that of the scent gland of the small antler-less male Musk Deer (Moschus moschiferus) of central and eastern Asia.
		As Thomas points out, this latter musk resembles more closely the cloying scent of the Crown Imperial than the light sweet scent of the musk rose.
