LeatheryWhat does L'Animal smell like?
It opens with rum, nutmeg and almond paste, where the sweetness is checked by spice. In the heart, heliotrope, Mugane™ and suede add a soft, creamy depth. The base is led by honey, vanilla, sandalwood and gaiac wood, and the scent settles on this woody, sweet ground.
Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good. With its dense, warm build, it suits those who like rich, sweet fragrances. Its profile is close to The Dua Brand Jungle Delight and Jousset Parfums Gourmand Bakhoor.
