Shelley Waddington

"Civet is a richly textured unisex extrait-style fragrance built around the contrast between bright citrus spice, opulent florals, and a deep animalic base. Its opening combines bergamot, lemon, orange, black pepper, and aromatic spices for a vivid and energetic introduction. The heart develops into a lavish floral arrangement featuring carnation, frangipani, heliotrope, hyacinth, linden blossom, tuberose, and ylang-ylang. In the drydown, coffee, incense, balsams, resins, civet, musk, oakmoss, Russian leather, vanilla, vetiver, and woods create a warm, smoky, leathery, and resinous character. The perfume has a dramatic vintage-chypre sensibility, but its presentation remains polished and modern. Civet is best suited to wearers who enjoy bold animalic florals and complex, long-lasting compositions."

Reviews Summary

“Civet is widely experienced as complex, animalic, dramatic, and polished. Its citrus-spice opening leads into a prominent floral heart, while the drydown emphasizes coffee, incense, leather, civet, musk, and resins. The overall effect combines a vintage chypre-like structure with modern refinement and strong presence.”
