Civet Absolute Replacer

A Cruelty-Free Animalic Base for Artisan Perfumery
Fragrance Material | Synthetic Accord

Warm, musky, and unmistakably animalic, this Civet Replacer is a rich, ready-to-use base designed to replicate the sensual depth of natural civet—without any animal ingredients. Smooth and dirty in just the right measure, it evokes the sweaty, feline warmth of the original while offering ethical peace of mind and formulation ease.

Perfect for adding depth, animalic warmth, and tenacity to florals, orientals, leathers, and vintage-style chypres.

Composition & Character

• A carefully crafted blend of synthetic musks, indoles, phenolics, and macrocyclic compounds

• Odor Profile: Dirty musky, warm, creamy, slightly fecal, vintage-animalic

• Appearance: Pale to amber liquid

• Solubility: Soluble in alcohol and DPG

Uses in Perfumery

• Adds animalic depth, sensuality, and realism to perfumes

• Used in place of natural civet in classic, oriental, floral, and leather accords

• A powerful fixative—improves longevity and sillage

• Lends a "human skin" warmth and vintage elegance to modern perfumes

• Works especially well in compositions that include jasmine, rose, oakmoss, patchouli, amber, and sandalwood

How to Use

• Start low: use at trace amounts (0.01–1%) in your final formula

• Can be diluted to 10% or less in alcohol or DPG for easier dosing

• Macerate for best results – civet notes mellow and bloom over time

• Best used as a base or bridge note to harmonize floral and resinous materials
