    Structure Definition

    Civetone
    `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.
    Civetone is closely related to muscone,
    the principal odiferous compound
    IUPAC NAME: found in musk, because both

    1-Cycloheptadec-9-enone compounds are macrocyclic ketones.


    Today, civetone can be synthesized
    from precursor chemicals found
    in palm oil.
