Tonquitone IFF (Deer Musk)
animalic
base
Tonquitone by IFF is a masterfully designed synthetic musk and animalic ingredient that captures the essence of natural deer musk with remarkable depth and authenticity. Developed by IFF, this unique molecule offers perfumers a powerful, animalistic base enriched with nuances of ambergris, dry woods, and soft balsams. Its character is raw yet refined, evoking the primal strength of musk while maintaining elegance and versatility in formulation.
What sets Tonquitone apart from other musk ingredients is its ability to impart a more natural and potent animalic quality, reminiscent of traditional perfumery materials that are no longer ethically available. Compared to musks such as Shangralide, Tonquitone delivers a stronger backbone and greater complexity, lending longevity and fixation to even the most demanding compositions.
It shines particularly in leather, chypre, oriental, and fougère accords, where its musk-ambergris resonance enhances depth, warmth, and persistence. As both a fixative and a signature note, Tonquitone provides perfumers with a rare tool that bridges modern synthetic innovation with the timeless allure of animalic perfumery.
