Here's a sampler to help you in your exploration of animalic notes in fragrances. According to Fragrantica the odor profile for Animal Notes is different ingredients, synthetic and natural, that can produce an animalic dirty and deep sensual effect. Animal notes of natural origin are not allowed in the perfume industry today and have been replaced by synthetics. The main ones are civet, musk, castoreum, ambergris and hyraceum. I've added beeswax and animal fur. Animal notes have been used in perfumes since the beginning of perfuming-making. They impart a sensuality, depth and tenacity to a perfume that is unrivaled.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler.
- Ego Facto Piege a Filles EDP - Piège à Filles is an intriguing perfume with a cumin-induced “dissonance”. It features notes of citrus, heliotrope, almond, cumin, orange blossom, tobacco, musk and vetiver.
- ERIS Parfums Ma Bete EDP - Ma Bete (My Beast) caresses you with the suggestiveness of perfumed fur. A collision of the floral and the animal, it combines a regal Tunisian neroli with spices and a 50% overdose of Antoine Lie's own animalic cocktail. "Ma Bête is a fierce beast with raunchy elegance." – Antoine Lie (Perfumer). It features top notes of aldehydes, Tunisian neroli and Indian nutmeg; middle notes of Indian cypriol, Honduran styrax and Indian jasmine sambac; and base notes of Virginia cedarwood, Indonesian patchouli and synthetic animalic accord.
- Libertine Fragrances Sex & Jasmine EDP - This fragrance is sexy, sultry, and oh-so dirty in the nicest of ways. Josh Smith brings out the forbidden side of indole-induced jasmine and wraps it in vanilla-soaked bourbon and sticky sandalwood absolute. The sweet, damp, animalic vibe offers an erotic spin. With notes of jasmine sambac, sandalwood absolute, geranium, neroli absolute, vanilla bourbon extract, aged patchouli essence and ambergris.
- Pictura Fragrans Animal Epice Extrait de Parfum - Animal Epice is an aromatic spicy fragrance that launched in 2023. It was created by DL Jenkins. In the heart of a shadowed forest, the scent unveils a nocturnal symphony. Sensual notes of black pepper, ginger, and tarragon dance with mysterious forest creatures. Warm oriental tea, spices and saffron add an exotic sillage, while dark woods, amber and animal musk weave into an immersive embrace. Animal Épicé captures a wild spirit, and delves into depths where darkness and allure converge. Animal Epice features top notes of pepper, anise and tarragon; middle notes of black tea, saffron and forest animal accord; and base notes of dark woods, musk and tobacco.
