Product Description

Civet Absolute Oil is obtained by solvent-extraction followed by ethanol refining from glandular secretions of Civettictis civetta. Strict purification steps remove redundant wax and impurities to obtain the finished absolute. It is a viscous dark-brown liquid. Neat material shows intense heavy animalic-faecal odour; only under adequate dilution can it unfold warm sensual musk-animalic aroma with subtle honey-floral undertones.

This classic animal-derived perfume raw material features outstanding substantivity and fixative performance. It mixes well with most perfume absolutes, synthetics and essential oils, widely adopted in high-end fine-fragrance compounding. Note that natural civet absolute is subject to animal-welfare-related market restrictions, synthetic civet alternatives are commonly used as substitutes in modern industry.
