I am trying to figure out what aromachemicals approximate what natural scents.

In particular, what chemicals, if any, besides civetone are used to create the impression of civet?

I have done a few searches but failed to turn up much; apologies if this has been covered already, and thanks in advance for any links or information.

There is also Civette Givco 208, a Givaudan base made to reconstitute its natural odor:

you can get small quantities here:

There is a great discussion of civet and civettone (that spelling is how I found it) here, where Mike Storer discusses civet odor:
