Zoologist Perfumes Civet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Shelley Waddington. Civet opens with Spicy, Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Canadian Fir Balsam, Linden Tree, and Leather, and dries down to a base of Balsam, Woody, Musk, and Resin. Zoologist Perfumes's Civet carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

Divisive yet utterly captivating, Zoologist's Civet is a bold amber animalic that sparks love-it-or-hate-it reactions. It's a throwback to classic perfumery, rich and unapologetic.

About

Civet opens with a burst of warm, spiced orange, swiftly evolving into a resinous, woody heart. Rich amber and subtle animalic civet notes intertwine with delicate florals like tuberose and carnation, all grounded by a sophisticated leather and incense base. It's a complex, enveloping scent that evokes vintage glamour.
