Musk flavor is a floral and sweet aroma that is reminiscent of musk perfume. It is commonly found in musk sticks, a popular confection in Australia that consists of a semi-soft stick of fondant, usually pink, and often extruded with a ridged cross-section in the shape of a star. Musk sticks are also called "musk sweets" and "musk lollies". The flavor of musk sticks is polarizing, with some people finding it delightful and others finding it disgusting. Musk sticks are made with synthetic musk essence, not actual musk from the scent gland of the musk deer as was done in the past. Musk-flavored mints are also produced by companies such as the Dollar Sweets Company.
