Animal  scents

In the past perfumers used in large amount produced aromatic substances produced by some animals.

The Civet (from the Arab Zabad) is a small African feline . The absolute of Civet is obtained through purification of the animal's perineal secretion in alcool. The Civet rubs his bottom on trunks and on stones of his territory to signal its presence to rivals and to females.

Its odor really seems faecal at first approach, but it's olfactory exploration reveals a world of deep emotions. The prophet muhammad said not to despise the scent of Civet, and it is still used in Arabia and in Africa in order to cure heavy hormonal dysfunction in women (hair loss).

A person who wears it provokes a respectful fear. This is the effect that felines have always provoked on man, who is a possible prey. It is a conquering scent and its effect exploited in a very civilized way in the perfume Tartar leather.

The Civet is a feminine scent, like Ambergris  while beaver absolute with it's massive and strong smell is essentially male.

The absolute of Beaver (Castoreum) is extracted in the same way as the absolute of Zibet. Its odor is leathery, at beginning very much animal and makes you just visualize the wild beaver, but with the passing of time the smell changes on the skin into a delicate and very persistent leather fragrance.
