Apsolut cibeta

Sharp, animalic, fecal-floral. Civet absolute from the African civet is initially repulsive, but at extreme dilution becomes warm, musky-floral, adding radiance to florals.

Zanimljivosti
The word civet comes from Arabic zabad. The material was once more valuable than gold by weight. Modern perfumers have largely replicated its effect with synthetic civetone.

U parfemima
Base note and radiance modifier at extreme dilution. Contains civetone (macrocyclic ketone). At trace levels contributes warmth and radiance to florals. Natural material largely abandoned for ethical reasons. Synthetic civetone available.
