Kad smo vec kod cudnih sastojaka za parfeme, za miris kože i vanilije su se koristile izlučevine iz analnih žljezdi dabrova. To nije jednina zivotinja cije smo analne izlučevine koristili za parfeme. Danas se koriste sinteticke zamjene. Nadam se.
Vanilla is a common, beloved ingredient in many top-selling fragrances. However, did you know that the anal secretions of beavers can also produce a pleasing vanilla aroma? Also known as castoreum, this ingredient has been often used in classic leather-themed perfume.
Until the 18th century, castoreum was used to treat conditions ranging from headache to hysteria. Castoreum is now replaced by synthetic replacements and hyraceum — an earthy rocklike material fossilized from the hyrax’s urine. Etat Libre d’Orange’s Fils de Dieu is a notable fragrance with castoreum in its recipe.
