Skanky Animalic Sampler - Set of Seven 1/2ml Samples

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 Animal notes of natural origin are not allowed in the perfume industry today and have been replaced by synthetics.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. 

1. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (BPAL) Faunalia 2016 Perfume Oil - Held on December 5th, this is the festival of the Horned God of the Forest, god of cattle, fertility, wild, untamed nature and prophecy through dreams. Faunalia is the scent of a thick, starlit, unspoiled forest and features a burst of wild musk, opobalsamum, black bryony, mandragora and hemlock.
2. Bogue MAAI Extrait de Parfum - Maai is a stunning accomplishment in modern perfumery as it marries the very best of old-school chypre glamour and bold animalics with a refined elegance and smoothness. It opens with a burst of incredibly mossy greenness, fused with roses, jasmine, and green tuberose, all sprinkled with a transparent veil of golden, glittering aldehydes. The plush bouquet is mesmerizing in its depth, and harkens back to a time before IFRA/EU regulations, but it's truly heart-stopping when combined with the animalic elements. Musky, leathered, and skanky, they cast a mighty roar that transforms the delicate swirl of feminine florals into something more unisex with a masculine touch. As Maai unfolds, balsamic resins awaken in the base to add subtle streaks of smokiness and honeyed sweetness. At the same time, the amber slowly turns the whole fragrance deeper, richer, and softer, coating the musky leather in its warmth and taming its skanky cry. In its drydown, Maai transforms into golden velvet with a smooth, plush mix of amber, musk, and oakmoss. It is not a fragrance for the faint of heart but for those who have mourned the loss of vintage glamour with an animalic edge. Maai is the epitome of sophistication in the grandest tradition of haute perfumery. With notes of tuberose, rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, civet, castoreum, hyraceum, dried fruits, sandalwood and oakmoss.
3. Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Le Serval Voile de Parfum - Ripe with unusual African aromatics, Le Serval is a warm, rich, and mildly spiced aldehydic-animalic floral fragrance. Based on a trip to the zoo, the perfumer caught a whiff of a distinctively warm, honeyed ‘animal’ mixed with a spicy, grassy hay and a surprisingly sweet, almost fruit-like note. She followed my nose and found the Serval cat. Le Serval features top notes of African Savanna Air (accord), Aldehydes, African Bluegress, Bergamot, Karo Karunde and Tunisian Neroli; middle notes of Grandiflorum Jasmine, Hay Absolute, Honey Bush co2, Carthamus Flower, Egyptian Rose Geranium, Moroccan Rose Absolute, Cassis Bud, African Ginger Root co2, African Green Heart Wood, Bushman's Candle Tincture, Frankincense co2 Absolute, French Beeswax and Musk Rose; and base notes of Africa Stone Tincture, Ambergris, Atlas Cedarwood, Oakwood co2, Brown Oakmoss, Civet, Honey Musk, Muhuhu, Oppopanax and Oud Crassna.
4. Juliette Has a Gun Mad Madame EDP – Mad Madame is a chypre fragrance that launched in 2012. Audacious and scandalous, this green chypre fragrance revolves around metallic notes of rose oxide, blackcurrant bud absolute, and woody, modern Ambroxan. Fusing explosive and feminine traits, it leaves no doubt about its intentions. Mad Madame has the knack of getting herself talked about, and she likes it. “For Mad Madame I wanted to pay tribute to a woman who dares, a woman slightly more mature than the previous episodes, but by no means better behaved.”—Romano Ricci, Brand Founder and Perfumer. It features top notes of rose, blackcurrant, amber and freesia; middle notes of patchouli, moss, tuberose, peony and jasmine; and base notes of castoreum, white musk, tolu balsam and vanilla absolute.
5. O’Driu Peety Perfume – Peety is a floral woody musk that launched in 2013. Created by Angelo Orazio Pregoni, it features top notes of tobacco leaf, rose, moss and jasmine; middle notes of amber, cinnamon, mandarin orange, bitter orange and pink pepper; and base notes of patchouli, sandalwood and tonka bean.
6. Redwood Alchemy Farwander Parfum - Farwander is an animalic scent that migrates through moist fields of sweet grasses and runs lithely alongside the most nimble of woodland creatures. It features notes of musk, sweet grass, mosses and wood.
7. Redwood Alchemy Loup Garou Parfum - Loup Garou is an extreme, animalic scent with notes of cypress, bloodthirst, amber and desiccation. This Acadian werewolf themed fragrance is powerful and uncompromising. It is not for the faint of heart. With notes of predatory musk, animalic territorial marking, amber, cypress, blood and redwood.
