About 422 Civet
422 Civet is a substitute accord that represents a civet scent reference through other materials. It is part of the 422 Fragrance approach to material selection and scent reconstruction. The name is distinct from natural civet collected from an animal.
Scent Profile
Animalic warmth and a skin-like depth are the relevant olfactory associations. They offer a different point of reference from bright fruit or flowers. In a leather-led setting, those associations help explain a fuller, more bodily impression within the scent.
Use in Perfumery
A base can combine the accord with leather, myrrh-like and sandalwood-like materials. This places a warmer texture after an opening of cool herbs and citrus. Such a combination illustrates how an animalic aromatic idea can be considered separately from the physical source of the ingredients used to express it.
