Civet Cat Chypre is very much what it says on the bottle - a beautifully classical floral Chypre scent with a good dose of civet. Whilst utilising very traditional ideas and classical connotations, I feel this fragrance is actually rather modern in its execution. The bright, citric elements of bergamot with aromatics of lavender and sage are far more prominent than I was expecting. From here a buttery heart of ylang and orris has its creamy, powdery facets elevated by touches of oakmoss, sandalwood and carrot seed. Whilst the perfumer claims real civet paste is used here, it certainly doesn’t smell like it unfortunately. That’s not to say it’s not present, but it’s not as animalic as I would have liked it to be. Overall the sweet musky aspect of this fragrance is actually very tame and easy to wear. That’s why I consider this a modern perfume, it takes all the classical elements of Chypre and reimagines it into something easily wearable in the 21st century. It’s a lovely scent, but not full bottle worthy for me.
