Phthalates are used as solvents for fragrances particularly in candles. They do not give any fragrance, musk or otherwise.
Artificial musks commonly used in all types of fragrances have been shown to be bio-accumulative and are suspected to be unsafe. It is likely that several common artifical musks will be banned in the near future.
Natural fragrances may be safer than artifical fragrances. But many common fragrance materials found in nature are allergens and need to be avoided by people susceptible to these materials. Fragrance materials known to be allergens are required to be listed on packaging.
