Civet

Enter a world of mystery, elegance, and untamed sensuality with Zoologist Civet, a luxurious unisex fragrance inspired by the legendary civet note and the timeless beauty of classic chypre perfumes. Created by perfumer Shelley Waddington, this captivating scent embraces the darker side of perfumery, where rich florals, smoky woods, coffee, leather, and musky warmth create an unforgettable nighttime experience.

With a powerful 25% parfum concentration, Civet delivers a complex and sophisticated composition that evolves beautifully on the skin. Bold yet refined, it celebrates the artistry of vintage perfumery while offering a modern interpretation of animalic elegance.

The fragrance opens with a vibrant blend of bergamot, black pepper, lemon, orange, spices, and tarragon. Bright citrus creates a fresh introduction, while pepper and aromatic spices add energy and intrigue, hinting at the deeper layers waiting beneath.

At the heart, carnation, frangipani, heliotrope, hyacinth, linden blossom, tuberose, and ylang create a rich floral bouquet. Creamy white florals meet powdery and spicy facets, creating a luxurious contrast between softness and intensity.

The fragrance settles into a dramatic base of balsams, civet accord, coffee, incense, labdanum, musks, oakmoss, resins, Russian leather accord, vanilla, vetiver, and woods. Dark coffee and incense add depth, while leather, moss, and vanilla create a warm, sensual finish. The synthetic civet accord provides the distinctive animalic character without using animal products.
