I think the difference is as follows: Black musk (plant based) and Red Musk (plant base) comes from the seeds of plants which belong to the genus Hibiscus abelmoschatus (Egyptian rose). White Musk I believe is synthetic musk (clear color) and Kasturi (meaning musk) refers to the musk deer (Moschus moschiferus) which lives in the Himalayan upper forest region …. parts of Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, the northern part of Uttar Pradesh, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. this information is based on a quick research and I would love to hear corrections if any of this is not correct.
*Side note: guys, regarding starting so many threads with repetitive subject like this one since there is already a thread abut musk,this happens often in other subject matters like "Cultivation vs. wild" and it spreads the information all over the place making it hard and time consuming for members to follow and gather... Let's try to find an existing thread that matches the subject matter before starting a new one. Just an observation.
Kruger: what "dilemma of Oud vs. Oud" you're referring to?
