The four major animal fragrances in the world are musk produced by musk (also known as camphor), ambergris produced by sperm whales, civet, and beaver. These fragrances are obtained from the reproductive glands and secretions of corresponding animals.

musk
Musk animals live in the southwestern region of China, the northwest plateau, and the cold regions of North India, Nepal, and Siberia. At the same time, some musk rats also have musk.
The main function of musk is to balance the formula of perfume. It can act as a fixative, reduce the volatilization rate of perfume, and make the fragrance more stable and lasting. The main component of musk is musk ketone, which has the effects of opening the orifices and awakening the mind, promoting blood circulation and meridians, and reducing swelling and pain.

Ambergris
Dragon's saliva is the intestinal secretion of sperm whales, with a sweet, fishy, and astringent taste.As a high-end spice, ambergris is widely used and also has the function of a fragrance fixing agent. According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, ambergris has the effects of promoting qi and promoting blood circulation, dispersing nodules and relieving pain, regulating qi and resolving phlegm, and enhancing yang. It can also be used to treat diseases such as asthma and abdominal pain.

Lingmao fragrance
Lingcats are mostly distributed in India, the Philippines, Myanmar, Malaysia, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, Yunnan, Guangxi and other places. The general collection method is to cut off the Lingcat glandular sac, scrape out the Lingcat fragrance, and store it in a closed manner. Lingcats have been raised now. It has a pungent aroma, a light yellow flowing object, and can be nauseating when concentrated. When extremely diluted, it has a warm animal fragrance and a spirit cat ketone fragrance, which can be blended with many fragrances to create an ideal aroma.Many people mistake civets for weasels because their farts also smell bad. In fact, this is not the case. Weasels, also known as weasels, are hunted and killed because their fur is suitable for making brushes. Chinese people call them "wolf hair".

Beaver fragrance
Beavers live in small river banks and lakes, mainly from Siberia in Russia and Canada. Beaver sachet secretions are dried by fire, which is called beaver incense. The fresh beaver incense is milky white viscous. The Russian beaver incense has leather animal fragrance, while the Canadian one is turpentine animal fragrance, which has the function of fixing fragrance in essence. The biggest difference between beaver incense and other animal incense is that it has a distinct burnt smell.
