Any civet fans out there? - Page 2
Question:
I have come to like it as well. It adds a warm, smooth, rich note that nothng else seems to bring. Romeo Gigli per Uomo is one of my favorites. Others where I have noticed the note stand out are: H.O.T. Always, MKK, Gendarme V, Givenchy Gentleman, Rose Poivree. Answer: Let's not forget the great use of civet in Obsession and Obsession for Men. (Although the Basenotes pyramids don't have it labled.) Answer: Love civet, it's one of my favourite notes! To name some names: Balahé, Bandit, Jicky, Jolie Madame, Muscs Koublaï Khan, Mystère, Narcisse Noir, Obsession, Shalimar, Y... Answer: Originally Posted by foetidus Let's not forget the great use of civet in Obsession for Men. Oh yes!! I just love the civet in this one! Unlike in many other fragrances, in Obsession civet is notiable only in the late hours of drydown. It doesn`t stand that much out, but is absolutely beautifully blended with sweet notes at the bottom. What about Musc Ravageur? The pyramid doesn`t say it has any civet in it, but I could swear it certainly does hold quite a bit. And just for the record, this scent isn`t one of my favourites at all. Well made for sure, but the sour powderiness of this fragrance makes me sick. Answer: Yes!! One of my most favourite notes (together with castoreum) Ambregris (Sylvie Jessua): Ambre et Diamant Noir Amouage: Gold (men and women's version) Balenciaga: Le Dix Caron: Tabac Blond and Fleurs de Rocaille Cartier: the 'old' Panthere and Must Chanel 5 Desprez: Bal a Versailles Patou: Joy Patricia de Nicolai: Sacrebleu Not a complete list. I just picked the scents I like myself Please, take a look at www.profumo.it under 'special scents'. They sell pure civet scent. Answer: Originally Posted by PigeonMurderer What about Musc Ravageur?

Well made for sure, but the sour powderiness of this fragrance makes me sick. I can't detect 'sour' in it, otherwise I can second every word you said. The thought of feeling sick came up too, so that renders it very unsafe for me, particularly in company. From originally masculine (100%) I now consider MR 70% feminine. It took a few full wearings to get to that. It is still wonderful, as long as I can bear it. I also thought to detect something ominous in Tabac Blond, Civet may well be part of the secret, and in that case I would suspect Mme Rochas also has some (?), definitely Miss Dior does (according to Turin who does not attribute civet but castoreum to Tabac Blond as i just found out). Answer: Don't forget Rose Poivrée by The Different Company! Answer: I really like both Jicky and Mouchoir de Monsieur, but I don't know Ungaro II, though Costello obviously approves; it's number one on his list! Where can you find it? I don't see it at the usual outlets here... Answer: Originally Posted by JaimeB I really like both Jicky and Mouchoir de Monsieur, but I don't know Ungaro II, though Costello obviously approves; it's number one on his list! Where can you find it? I don't see it at the usual outlets here... I`m not sure where you can find Ungaro II, but I do know that you should get it. It`s amazing. Easily one of the richest scents I`ve ever experienced. Depth of this fragrance seems to be endless. Perfect blend of citrus, oriental, floral (lavender) and animal notes. I got my 100ml EdT bottle from Perfume Emporium, but the EdT isn`t there anymore available. (after shave only) Answer: Hi JamieB, Originally Posted by PigeonMurderer It`s amazing. Easily one of the richest scents I`ve ever experienced. Depth of this fragrance seems to be endless. Perfect blend of citrus, oriental, floral (lavender) and animal notes. I concur! A true masterpiece. It has qualities in abundance: It´s sensual, deep and (ok, let´say) elegant. Jicky has that (as Luca Turin ponited out : http://www.nzzfolio.ch/www/d80bd71b-...df8b40dab.aspx ) peacefull, silent aura while Ungaro II is darker, with more depth. Maybe because of the floral notes. I love both and it looks like you should definitely try it. In case you want a decant send me a PM. It´s discontinued but once in a while it can be found on eBay at reasonable prices. It seems that some eBay stores sell the rest of it´s stock. Definitely easier to get as Ungaro I.
