Adam Michael has this to say “This Civet Absolute is obtained from Indian material (not African), collected from the secretions of the female and male civet cats.

Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma of styrax absolute is described as woody-vanilla, leathery, animalic-castoreum, balsamic. In a leathery compound, this product brings a modern animalic and elegant note. Produced by fractionation of styrax absolute in order to respond to applicable regulations. This advanced process results in a material with a very animalic […]
