What does Carbon / Animalix (2021) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so treat that as a rough guide. With no season or occasion votes, there is little to say about when it suits best; as a unisex scent it sits comfortably on any skin.

Bergamot gives a citrusy freshness at first. The heart brings together vanilla, amber, woods and ylang-ylang, with a sweet, creamy, powdery floral tone leading. In the base, a sensual skin accord, ambergris and musk soften everything, and the animal edge stays in the background. Lattafa Ana Abiyedh and Creed Acier Aluminium have a close profile.
