Civet Extra (CITES) - Natural Animal Absolute
Civet Extra (CITES) - Natural Animal Absolute
Natural civet extract, prepared as a high-impact animalic base for fine perfumery. Civet has been used for centuries as one of the most iconic animal notes, valued for its ability to add warmth, sensuality, and radiance to floral, oriental, and chypre compositions.
In its concentrated form it is intensely animalic; at proper dilution it transforms into a luxurious, honeyed, musky warmth with soft powdery undertones.
Traded under CITES regulation (Appendix II). Intended exclusively as a perfumery raw material to be diluted in very small amounts — must never be applied directly to the skin.
How to use
Dilute in perfumery-grade alcohol or a carrier oil before applying to skin. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. For use by experienced perfumers and formulators only.
Shipping & returns
Free shipping on orders over €50. As these are bulk raw materials, returns are not accepted once the container has been opened, except in case of manufacturing defect.
