Odor: characteristic

Use: A recreation of the natural civet tincture, this is an effective fixative, essential for jasmine accords and useful in many contexts to add naturalness to a blend. This is very powerful and even, as presented here at 0.1% in ethanol, should be used sparingly: it is often best when used below the level of conscious detection.

Odor: Animalic, faecal, musk, warm. Extremely powerful

Use: This is Arctander writing about the natural extract of Civet (please note the product offered here is a synthetic recreation and contains no animal extracts whatever): "Civet ranks among the 20 most important perfume raw materials… The crude civet arrives in Europe and the U. S. A. in Zebu horns, containing about 500 to 1200 grams of the buttery yellowish paste which turns darker and more solid on age. The contents of one average Zebu horn represents the production from one civet cat in Four Years. During this period, the animal will consume something like the raw meat from 50 (fifty) sheep, and the poor cat, frequently teased in its narrow cage, will have undergone 400 to 800 painful “scrapings” of its glands. The raw meat, the narrow cage and the teasing are all means of increasing the production of the civet secretion which is scraped off with regular intervals while the cat is caged. It is no wonder that Civet is one of the most expensive perfume raw materials! But, thanks to the outstanding power of civet, its price does not prohibit its use by any means."
