i guess if you love that powerhouse smell of the 80's.. i would never wear anything with it. too animalistic and unappealing to me and the under 40 women..

SOTD: Al Oudh. 12 of my 34 five-star favorites have a prominent civet and/or castoreum note. Yeah, I'm a fan

In small doses it can add a good dark muskyness to a scent like in Leather Oud or the basenotes of Givenchy Gentleman.

That is probably why I have enjoyed Givenchy Gentlemen for so many years. I remember in the early 90's when I would get compliment after compliment while wearing it.

I like civet in fragrances but have never smelled it as a single note. I would love to smell it that way some day.

If the civet in Mouchoir de Monsieur counts, then I can also call myself somewhat of a civet fan.
