CIVET - ZOOLOGIST

As the sun sets over the dense rainforest, civet cats emerge warily from the thickets. Under a carpet of narcotic flowers, a handful of coffee berries pepper the ground. The humid air is heavy with aromas of moss that penetrate every crevice, but the musky odor of civet cats dominates; their territory marked daring to enter at one's own risk.Zoologist Civet pays homage to the age-old ingredient, the civet, as well as to the chypre perfumes of yesteryear - perfumes that refused to be intimidated by raw musks , seductive and animalistic. Civet is a whimsical and complex brew mixed with mystery. It opens with a spicy floral accord, crossed with dark coffee tones. Slowly, it prowls forward, unraveling base notes of leather, moss and vanilla that combine with distinctive civet musk to create a disconcerting and sophisticated scent with the promise of a sensual nighttime rendezvous.
