Working dilution
What does Civette Givco 208 smell like?
Givaudan describe it as a close reconstitution of civet absolute which it can replace in equal amounts, containing no animal extract at all. Their odour index entry reads animal, warm, musky, civet like. In a formula it adds diffusive warmth and supplies the distinctive effect natural civet gives to floral-jasmin, amber, oriental, chypre and tobacco accords: a trace lends body and a sensual, slightly dirty depth under white florals, while an overdose flattens everything above it. It is worked heavily diluted.

What is Civette Givco 208 made of?
What the supplier DECLARES, not the whole formula. A base is a blend somebody else made: an IFRA conformity certificate and an allergen declaration list the restricted and declarable substances only, so these shares add up to a few percent and the remainder stays with the house. PerfuMate counts exactly what is listed here and claims nothing about the rest.
