Zoologist Civet Deluxe BottleThe Art & Olfaction Awards 2017, Independent Category Finalist As the sun sinks over the dense tropical forest, civets emerge warily from the thickets. Under a carpet of narcotic flower blossoms, a smattering of coffee berries peppers the ground. The moist air is heavy with mossy aromas that penetrate every crevice, but the musky scent of the civets dominates; their marked territory daring one to enter at ones own risk. Zoologist Civet pays homage to

Macaque Yuzu

ylang dances with delicate frangipani upon your skin in a melody of creamy florals

Dragonfly encapsulates the richness and romance of impressionism

and fennel and vetiver

sniff the wind—bouquet

soft notes of musk and vanilla enfold the vibrant Cockatiel

Like the thrill inspired by a low

their tails entwined in a delicate waltz

Chameleon becomes you

A sultry heat wafts across the land

Dangling beneath the ghostly vessel

As the scent gently settles
