I need to make synthetic musk by myself

I am wondering, are you hoping to make something like Musk Tahara?
I know this topic has come up either here or on the Perfumemaking FB group before.
I have no experience with it, but from memory and a quick internet search it seems that would be the type of product you are trying to make.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

From the description of the scent profile it does seem to be a clean white musk with some floral notes, maybe sandalwood etc.

You have a proper chemical lab at home?

I think its much easier you just buy the galaxolide.

Why are you focused on obtaining 100% galaxolide? There is absolutely no functional relevance to your perfume composition if you use 70% or 50% galaxolide diluted in an odorless solvent. However much galaxolide itself you want in your composition, simply use a proportionately greater quantity of the diluted material.

Adding galaxolide at any concentration will help your fragrance smell more like galaxolide.

Adding to this: I highly doubt that middle easterners with their love of intense and wonderfully rich scents would be particularly thrilled at a bottle of galaxolide hah.

So now you finally told us the name of the fragrance, "Tahara musk". That seems to be a somewhat general name of a complete fragrance made by several manufacturers and not just a single musk material.

There is no CAS because it isn't a single material. The viscous part must be something else added as the carrier. Maybe it's more like a lotion or cream?

The reason why people started talking about Galaxolide at all is because it's a single material that is thick and viscous at 100% strength, but that in itself has nothing to do with "Tahara musk". Yes, maybe it contains some actual Galaxolide too, but maybe not.

Apart from the musk in it, which is probably a blend of several different musks, the descriptions also give notes like lily, violet, white lotus, honey and vanilla.

None of those notes are actual materials. They are only descriptions of the smell.
