What does Animalix (2020) smell like?

Amber and ambergris form a sweet, resinous frame, while deer musk, civet and castoreum add an animalic, leathery weight. Soil and woody notes give it a dry base underneath, and creamy, spicy undertones soften the edges.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and very few choose summer. It reads most often as masculine, followed by classic. Neil Morris Fragrances Summoning (Parfum) and House of Orpheus Thoth have a close profile.
