Dane Mitchell got thinking, and in conjunction with a French perfume maker he came up with a fragrance called ‘smell of an empty room’.

It opens to the public in Auckland on Tuesday at the Auckland Artspace.

Can not believe this artist uses Civet: It's not an oil, it's a secretion. Civet musk is harvested by either killing the cat to take the glands, or by scraping the secretions from the glands of a live animal. This involves deliberately agitating or hurting the animal to provoke its glands into production. Civet cats are kept in tiny cages in atrocious conditions for this purpose.
