During mid-descent; a strong; sweet; musky odor entered the cockpit. At first it was subtle but continued to get strong enough to make the FO (First Officer) slightly nauseated. We continued the descent and made a normal landing. Once we opened the cockpit door at the gate; the flight attendants commented on how strong the odor was coming out of the cockpit.Reporter suggested the cause was something in the packs?
