Civetone is a cyclic ketone and one of the oldest perfume ingredients known. It is a pheromone sourced from the African Civet. It has a strong musky odor that becomes pleasant at extreme dilutions[2]. Civetone is closely related to muscone, the principal odiferous compound found in musk, because both compounds are macrocyclic ketones. Today, civetone can be synthesized from precursor chemicals found in palm oil[3].
