Civetone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Civetone is a cyclic ketone and one of the oldest perfume ingredients known. It is a pheromone sourced from the African Civet. Civetone is closely related to muscone, the principal odiferous compound found in musk, because both compounds are large cyclic molecules.
