Civet by Zoologist pays homage to the opulent elegance of traditional chypre perfumery through a sensual composition of aromatic spices, lush florals, and deep animalic accords. Created by perfumer Shelley Waddington, the fragrance opens with bergamot, black pepper, lemon, orange, tarragon, and warm spices. At its heart, carnation, frangipani, heliotrope, hyacinth, linden blossom, tuberose, and ylang create a luxurious floral bouquet that balances the vibrant opening with a soft, powdery richness.
As the fragrance develops, dark coffee and smoky incense intertwine with earthy oakmoss, warm balsams, labdanum, rich resins, and Russian leather. Sensual civet and musk accords add an unmistakable animalic warmth, while vanilla, vetiver, and woods create a smooth, enveloping foundation. Mysterious, sophisticated, and richly textured, Civet captures the glamour of vintage perfumery with a bold, contemporary character.

Gourmand
Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
