Aim and Objectives: Civet with the scientific name Viverricula indica was found in Southeast Asia, Vietnam. The Civet has an odor-transmitting gland from the musk bag. The Civet musk sac is in the abdomen, about 2 cm in front of the scrotum and in front of the penis. In the field of aromatherapy, Civet musk is a precious fixative that has been researched and widely used. In Vietnam, there are very few studies about the usage of Civet musk. Therefore, our goal in this paper was to study musk from Civet and use it as a fixative in the aroma. Materials and Methods: Material has been used to separate the odor-transmitting gland from the Civet is in Dak Nong, Vietnam. The musk was fabricated into musk Civet absolute by means of 96% alcohol impregnation and then distillation to remove solvents at low pressure. The fragrance was diluted with solvents to evaluate the scent based on the sensory for odor evaluation. Results: The results indicated that the fixative ability of Civet absolute was better than traditional artificial musk such as musk ambrette, musk xylol, musk ketone. Conclusion: This research has proven that musk from Civet in Vietnam is a very good fixative.
