Musk Xylol

Musk xylene is a synthetic musk fragrance which mimics natural musk. 

It has been used as a perfume fixative in a wide variety of consumer products, and is still used in some cosmetics and fragrances.

Musk xylene was once the most widely used of the "nitro-musks", but its use has declined sharply since the mid-1980s due to safety and environmental concerns, and musk xylene is a useful example of the lowest level of such risks which need to be taken into account.
