The Wild Civet Cat does know a tortured history within the Fragrance Industry. While most Civet products available on the market do raise their ethical questions, I am proud to source my Civet Absolute from a trusted supplier in New Zealand, where pure and natural Abyssinian Civet Absolute is obtained within CITES guidelines for Appendix II ranched animals.
Civet Absolute is itself so quite transformational that what was once so fecal, really putrid, becomes, with great dilution, as much something sublime. Incorporated into the fragrance compound at or below just one percent, Civet Absolute breathes real life into more opulent floral bouquets, imparting a sense of naturalness impossible to achieve by any other means.
So, how does something so, quite frankly, “poopy” make a flower feel more alive? Well, do not all living things possess within them the process of aging, the act of time, the functional desire to reproduce and then, the inevitability of death, the potential for decay? When Abyssinian Civet paste possesses a chemical makeup which includes Indole (produced by aging/time, found also in our own human genitalia) and Skatole (a chemical released during death/decomposition), one can begin to sense how Civet Absolute might make a flower bloom. It paints the fuller picture, it imparts a sense of ephemerality, it transforms the flower from mere petal to whole pistil. It is sex and death.
Proceed with caution. Or don’t.
To Preorder this product now is to secure your bottle of an as yet unreleased Readymade Fragrance bringing back the Civet Cat, in all its vintage glory, breathing life into the heart.
