The scientific and industrial saga of artificial nitromusks is presented. Stemming from 18th century natural sciences, nitrated artificial musks were developed during the industrial revolution, culminating in the post‐WWII era, to decline and eventually vanish in the 20th century. Stories associated with their discovery, production, and uses are complemented by chemical and historical considerations.
