Musk is the name originally given to a perfume obtained originally from the strong-smelling substance secreted by a gland in the abdomen of the male musk deer, and hence applied to other animals, and also to plants, possessing a similar odor. The organic compound that is the primary contributor to the odor of musk is muscone, which is often used in perfumery.

Musk is a natural substance that comes predominantly from the scent glands of the Musk Deer, although I believe other animals produce it also. It can now be produced synthetically in a lab however.

I believe it is extracted from animal "glands", mainly the male musk deer.
