From a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1939, dsm-firmenich has been dedicated to Musk for over 90 years. These years of dedication and persistence have resulted in dsm-firmenich becoming the pioneer in this field and globally recognized as the House of Musk.

The Macrocyclic musks are divided into two categories: Found in nature and discovered around 30-40’s: EXALTOLIDE®,EXALTOLIDE® TOTAL, MUSCONE, CIVETTONE. Discovered in dsm-firmenich Research Laboratories around 90’s: HABANOLIDE®, EXALTENONE, MUSCENONE
