TOTD 112008: most useful/favorite animal essence

[Guest guest]

Out of civet, castoreum, ambergris, Africa stone, bee goo (or

whatever we're calling it now), even musk (which I've heard may still

be available ultra rarely) or whatever others you might have (goat-

hair tincture, etc), which do you find the most useful or do you use

most often? Do you use different ones for different applications? Do

you use alcohol tinctures and also oil infusions? Did you buy the

tinctures/infusions or make them yourself? If you made them, where

did you get the raw material?
