Description
Diluted to a practical concentration of 2% in Ethanol.
Perfumers always have their eyes open for unusual ingredients they can add to their creative palette.
Tincture of skunk is one of those little-explored aromatics that has the potential to add something new and novel to one’s repertoire.
However, and it is a big however, the full strength tincture of skunk that is available in the shop is soooo concentrated that it is useless until heavily diluted.
I always suggest starting with a dilution in alcohol of 1:50. In my opinion, it is only at this ratio that you can start to identify its aromatic properties and visualize how it can be incorporated in compositions.
Another disadvantage is that the full strength tincture does not travel well and can be detected before one opens their Apothecary’s Garden package. Glass containers and plastic caps do not completely contain the genie in this bottle which can be problematic, especially in the presence of other more delicate aromatics.
So, for these reasons I’ve gone ahead and prepared a more useful and practical product for my customers.
The original Skunk tincture is made by macerating fresh skunk glands in Ethanol. Skunks are trapped for their fur.
Processing their scent glands makes a useful product out of something that would otherwise be discarded.
If you decide you would like to try the full strength tincture and dilute it on your own, it is still available in the shop here-https://www.etsy.com/listing/226396799/skunk-gland-perfume-tincture-natural

If you're looking at this you know exactly what you want. It smells just like the real deal and I'm very happy with it. I prefer the higher strength stuff but this one is nice because it does not linger as long. Worth buying. It matches the description and meets my expectations.

Such a thing! A field for experiments and magic! Many years ago I spent a year in the MS, and as we do not have skunks here in St.Petersburg (Russia), I wondered if I could remember the smell. One sniff from the Dan's tiny sample has taken be back to those Mississippian times. Thank you, Dan! I am thinking about mixing it with woods. The most interesting part of making perfumes is to make the imagination work).

High-quality products, very prompt shipping, great response time for questions etc. They also allowed me to tack two items onto my order after I placed it–really appreciated their flexibility on that point. Would recommend them to anyone who is serious about sourcing unique olfactory ingredients.
This is probably the most unique ingredient I ordered. As a professional perfumer, I tip my hat to anyone who has the courage to bottle and sell such things as skunk musk!

So amazing. At this dilution, the skunk is gentle enough so as to be workable and not overwhelming. The scent is fantastic, pleasant even. I see plenty of use to come with this stuff, thank you Dan!

Beware of the skunk! It's an extremely potent and strong tincture. But it's great!

This skunk tincture is such a unique ingredient… used thoughtfully (and sparingly!) it adds the perfect something. I would not recommend purchasing the undiluted skunk musk, considering how strong the 2% is, unless you're planning on a very large production. I also appreciate that the seller includes transparent procurement info, since this is an animal product.
