Our verdict on Civet: Acquired

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.
