Skunk oil, known for its strong and musky scent, is rarely used in modern perfumery due to its controversial nature. However, some niche and avant-garde fragrances may incorporate synthetic or natural ingredients that mimic its scent profile. Notable examples include certain creations from brands like Etat Libre d'Orange, which are known for pushing olfactory boundaries. Always check the ingredient list or fragrance notes for specific details, as formulations can vary widely.
Yes indeed. They use the musk from a skunk or a civet cat as a constituent that carries the scent of the perfume. The distilled water and types of oil that are in perfume will not hold the perfume's scent for very long at all, so they use the skunk/cat oil because the main compound in the musk (butyl mercaptan) holds a scent for a very long time. If you have ever been sprayed by a skunk, or know someone who has been sprayed by a skunk, you should understand that the smell lasts for several days. Perfumes usually do not last that long though, because the amount of musk is very little and very deluded. So, perfume might last a couple days as opposed to a weeks or so, but at least that means you're not wearing as much skunk piss as you originally thought. isn't that comforting?
Not skunk odors but the sack that gives the odor longevity !David ruby innisfil ontario canada ( skunk country )

The only people I can think of that would buy skunk oil are hunters. They probably use it to help hide their scent.
the fragrance oil are extracted by heating the plant material and distilling the vapours to get perfumes.

Some perfumes do, in fact, use rather similar substances, though I can't think of any that use actual skunks.
A skunk has two scent glands under it's tail. It can spray with one gland or the other. But usually both. When a skunk fires, it squeezes muscles that forec the oil through the glands.
It was used as lotions, in cooking, perfumes etc
