Extracts of substances of animal origin (grey amber, castor and musk) are used as perfume fixers. By themselves, musk, amber and beaver have an extremely strong, unpleasant but very persistent odor. Natural fixers are exotic and expensive; to get them, you have to catch s***m whale, beavers, and heartbreaks. For example, 1 kilogram of musk costs 60,000. Consequently, such components are introduced only in expensive perfumes.
