Description of smell:
Civet paste, obtained from the glands of the civet cat, has a strong, musky and animal smell, which can be described as:
Pungent and fecal-like – Due to its origin, it has a deeply animal, almost smelly or dung-like odor.
Warm and leathery – When diluted or aged, it acquires a rich, leathery and slightly sweet hue.
Ammonia or urinous – Some people find in it a sharp, urine-like sharpness in its raw form.
Complex and intoxicating – When used in perfumes (often in plumes), it gives the fragrance sensuality, depth and lasting warmth.
Civet paste in Perfumery:
In perfumery, civet paste is often processed and diluted to soften its harshness and give a more refined, honey-like and velvety fragrance. However, in its raw form, the smell can be strongly fecal and repel many.
