CIVET - ZOOLOGIST

As the sun sets over the dense rainforest, civets cautiously emerge from the undergrowth. Beneath a carpet of narcotic flowers, a handful of coffee berries pepper the forest floor. The humid air is heavy with mossy aromas that seep into every crevice, but the musky scent of the civets dominates; their boldly marked territory warns entrants to proceed at their own risk.

Zealot Zoologist Civet pays tribute to the age-old ingredient, the civet, and to the chypres of yesteryear — fragrances that refused to be cowed by raw, alluring, animalistic musks. Civet is a moody, complex infusion wrapped in mystery. It opens on a spicy floral accord threaded with dark coffee tones. Slowly it prowls forward, unraveling base notes of leather, moss, and vanilla that blend with distinctive civet musk to create a beguiling, sophisticated fragrance with the promise of a sensual nocturnal rendezvous.
