civet

On behalf of all 'civet' cats I have to register a protest.

Theatre became less serious and more sensational; the great national concerns gave way to domestic intrigue; the smell of cowslips and violets to musk and 'civet' , if not in reality then in the imagery of the plays.

So it's not a virus that every Himalayan palm 'civet' has always had and is chronically infected with.

The secretion of these glands, called 'civet' , is used as a perfume base and medicine..

Silk, cotton, and velvet changed what people wore, and musk and 'civet' altered the way that they smelt.

During the Renaissances strong scents of animal origin, including musk, 'civet' and ambergris, were popular, but by the late 18th century these were consider too strong, too beastly.

In the sixteenth century, for example, pungent animal scents such as musk and 'civet' were very popular.

On coffee plantations, palm 'civets' dine heavily on coffee cherries.

The main suspect to date is the 'civet cat' , a cat-like mammal closely related to the mongoose.

This includes the 'civet cat' which is known to be a carrier of the disease.
