Civet Absolute Replacer (F)

Civette Synth 039648

This synthetic Civet absolute replacer elevates fragrance creation with an ethically formulated, animal‑free interpretation of natural civet — historically one of perfumery’s most prized and controversial musks. 

It delivers exceptional depth and character: a compelling animalic signature that is simultaneously fecal, floral, honeyed and musky, yet refined for modern fine fragrance use. 

Civette Synth enlivens and anchors compositions, offering sensual complexity in floral bouquets, oriental warmth in amber blends, and bold personality in chypre and woody accords.

Its potent trail and lasting power make it ideal for perfumers seeking to impart unforgettable richness and emotional resonance — without ethical compromise.

Strong fixative properties; enhances longevity and base richness in complex compositions (typical of animalic bases)

• Ethical & Performance‑Driven: Provides a balanced animalic warmth while aligning with modern industry standards and ethical sourcing — no animal civet used. 
• Blending Versatility: Especially effective with jasmines, rose facets, amber woods, musks and oriental bases — blending seamlessly to enrich body and longevity.

Almost always used as a trace note or accent, blended with floral, amber, chypre, or oriental accords.

Even a few drops can dramatically enhance depth, longevity, and animalic warmth without overpowering the composition.

Subtle at 0.1%

Synthetic civet is highly potent but can be very subtle at low concentrations like 0.1%. This is normal—human sensitivity varies, and the scent often blends into a fragrance rather than standing out on its own.

Even when not immediately noticeable, it contributes a warm, animalic lift that enhances complexity in your composition.

Slightly higher concentrations or blending with other notes will make its character more perceptible.
