Inspirations

As the sun sinks over the dense rainforest, civets emerge cautiously from the thickets. Under a carpet of narcotic flowers, coffee berries pepper the ground. The humid air is laden with mossy aromas that penetrate every corner, but it is the civets' musky scent that dominates; their marked territory tempts us to enter at our peril.

Zoologist Civet pays homage to the age-old ingredient of civet, as well as to the chypre fragrances of yesteryear—scents that refused to be intimidated by raw, seductive, animalic musks. Civet is a moody and complex blend, shrouded in mystery. It opens with a spicy floral accord, peppered with notes of dark coffee. It slowly unfolds, revealing base notes of leather, moss, and vanilla that combine with the signature civet musk to create a bewildering and sophisticated scent that promises a sultry nighttime rendezvous.
