Since antiquity, musk has been a valued perfume and medicine.
Because the musk deer only lives in Central Eurasia, people in
other locations had to trade for its musk. For medieval Islamic
civilization, musk became the most important of all aromatics. The
musk trade thus illuminates the nature of medieval Asian trade and
musk's cultural effects on the Islamic world. Scent from the Garden
of Paradise: Musk and the Medieval Islamic World examines the
history of musk from its origins in Asia to its uses in the
medieval Middle East, surveys the Islamic literature on musk, and
discusses the roles of musk in perfumery and medicine, as well as
the symbolic importance of musk in Islam.
