Good question. The traditional way to macerate musk is in Cambodi oudh (@Al Shareef Oudh recommends) and I did this about two years back in a beautiful Cambodi Oudh from Oudimentary and it is so much lively in the bottle.
So simple answer is anything can really go as I have macerated very small amounts in other oils.
Sandalwood on the whole is cheaper then using Oudh but other then that...go for your own creativity @AbuNader

Musk + Oudh and the preferred Oudh is Malaysian Oudh.

After my initial infatuation with sandalwood+musk I am now a converted man. Indeed, malaysian oud+musk are the most beautiful together!

My own experience is that a minimum of one year in Malaysian Oudh produces a truly wonderful scent....go for it if you can.

Because of this thread I had to revisit my
Oud Musk Ambergris blend from June 2018
It’s mainly HOM Malay Encens with IO Kejalasan & Kushiara, Agar Aura Bois Mielluse & Inderapura Encens, Kashmiri & Siberian Musk grains filling up one third of the bottle, and Ambergris.
I don’t smell the Ambergris, but I get a lot of Musk and Oud.
It is now a precious one-of-a-kind.
If anyone is so inclined, make a few musks blends now to stash away for years to come, and let the musk work it’s magic, then it will be something special.

I have always spent plenty of time cleaning the pod out first and foremost.
I separate as much grain from everything else......hair, membrane, skin and the pod itself.
I attempt to clean the grains of as many "Impurities" before using for a maceration project. The rest I lump together and put in alcohol to extract every bit out of it.
After cleaning the musk grains from the rest of the stuff, I ended up having a small piece of a thick skin. It was thicker than regular tissues mixed with the grains. I decided to cut it with scissors and macerate into jojoba oil. Now it has been a month and the color already turned dark yellow(almost light brown). My plan is to mix it with some white florals after 6-8 months, will see whats gonna happen.
