Here's what a search of 'musk' on Encyclopedia.com yielded :Originally posted by thinger:rhonda did you say musk?
someone told me that comes from the ass glands of...some deer, or elk, or something. is that true?
"odorous substance secreted by an abdominal gland of the musk deer , used in perfume as a scent and fixative. The gland, found only in males, grows to the size of a hen's egg; the secretion is reddish-brown, with a honeylike consistency and a strong odor that may function in the animal as a sexual attractant. After the pouch is cut the secretion hardens, assumes a blackish-brown color, and when dry becomes granular. In commerce the musk pouches are called “musk pods,” and the dried secretion “musk grains.” Usually a tincture of alcohol is made from the grains; this is then added to expensive perfumes. The chief constituent that gives musk its odor is the organic compound muscone. Musklike substances are also obtained from the muskrat and the civet. Some plants yield oils which resemble musk; these include the seed of ambrette ( Hibiscus abelmoschos ) and the sumbul root ( Ferula sumbul ) of central Asia and Turkistan. A number of synthetic musklike products are now also used."
Well, wherever it came from, musk is still darn sexy when used on a man! -
For a while, when my cat, Cody, went missing, I'd sniff his favourite teddy-bear toy to get a whiff of his much-missed scent.
Now, the teddy-bear just plain stinks. Have to discard it soon. -
the kind of invigorating smell you get as you walk into a nature reserve the curry smell from one of my neighbour, they normally cook it on sunday during dinner time. If i happen to be home, i will standby the window and patiently wait for the curry aroma to whiff pass my over-stretching nose the smell of peanut butter on freshly toasted bread.....and morning will never be the same again the smell of freshly peeled bananas smell of new CDs & magazines smell of laughter & happiness -

Rhonda........I am laughing so hard. My next door cubicle is hitting at the panel and like "what's up?" "Share the joke" As if he will understand. Or, maybe he does. He's from Vietnam so maybe they have that "le long" thing too.
Sorry, Rhonda.......don't mean to make a joke at your expense but too tempting about broadcasting a soulmate for you. Okay, now, will I get a matchmaker "lai see"? -

The smell of dawn...
I took this photo when I went out to Genting Highlands with my nursing school classmates just before we graduated. I woke up at the crack of dawn, realised that everyone else was still oblivious to the world and drunk with sleep, so I freshened up, and sneaked downstairs for a solo photo session with my brother's digicam.
The lovely fresh, cold air... wonderful way to start the day! [/img] -
