Civet Cat Chypre Meleg

Civet Cat Chypre Meleg is a deeply complex and opulent chypre that unfolds with a bold, animalic opening dominated by civet and musk, creating an initial impression that some find pungent or fecal, though others describe it as a rich, velvety, and captivatingly modern classic. The fragrance transitions into a smooth, powdery, and floral heart of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and rose, wrapped in slightly sweet sandalwood and labdanum, with oakmoss grounding the drydown. Despite early reactions of discomfort, most agree the fragrance mellow years and reveals a sensual, elegant, and well-blended composition where the animalic notes remain cohesive, never overpowering or overly harsh. It lingers with moderate sillage and substantial longevity, especially in cooler weather, allowing it to feel both intimate and elevated across day or night wear.
