A liquid from the anal glands of civets is a popular perfume ingredient
Civet is an animal whose anal secretions are used in perfumes. Why would anyone do that, you ask?

If you don’t believe that something like this can smell nice, you should know that Chanel, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy have all used this note in popular perfumes like Coco, Chanel No.5, Diorissimo, Kouros, Gentleman, and more.
