	Musk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Musk is the name originally given to a perfume obtained from the strong-smelling substance, secreted by the testicles of the musk deer, and hence applied to other animals, and also to plants, possessing a similar odor.
		In the vegetable kingdom it is present in the common musk (Mimulus inoschalus), the musk wood of the Guianas and West Indies, and in the seeds of Hibiscus Abelmoschus (musk seeds).
		To obtain the perfume from the musk deer, the animal is killed and the gland completely removed and dried, either in the sun, on a hot stone, or by immersion in hot oil.

		musk, odorous substance secreted by an abdominal gland of the musk deer, used in perfume as a scent and fixative.
