Civet Cat Chypre is a mesmerizing fusion of bright floral tones wrapped in a cocoon of sensual warmth. It begins with a luminous burst of bergamot, lemon, clary sage, and lavender, blending citrus zest with herbaceous freshness for an invigorating opening.
The heart of this fragrance reveals an enchanting bouquet of rose otto, rose absolute, and jasmine absolute, enriched by the warm, woody undertones of cedarwood and the earthy nuance of carrot seed. This harmonious blend masterfully balances floral sweetness with a subtle, grounding earthiness.
The base is where Civet Cat Chypre truly shines, adding opulence with notes of orris butter, Indian sandalwood, labdanum, tonka bean absolute, real civet paste, and oakmoss absolute. These elements introduce a warm, powdery floral character, a hint of sweetness, a musky animalistic edge, and a grounding earthiness, culminating in a rich, luxurious depth.
Comparable to timeless French classics like Chanel No. 5 and Shalimar, Civet Cat Chypre holds its own with elegant sophistication. It delivers a multi-faceted experience reminiscent of Chanel No. 5’s complex, balanced composition, swapping aldehydes for a citrusy opening. It mirrors Shalimar’s opulent oriental base but leans more towards a chypre profile with the notable inclusion of oakmoss.
Perfect for romantic evenings and special occasions, Civet Cat Chypre cloaks the wearer in an unforgettable warm, sensual embrace. Indulge in this exquisite fragrance and experience the allure of a classic redefined.
