What does Animalique smell like?

It opens fresh with lemon and bergamot, then settles into a soft, powdery floral heart of white suede, mimosa and violet. The base of tobacco, sandalwood and amber adds a sweet, woody, leathery warmth, with the animal accord sitting quietly underneath.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, while summer gets far fewer votes. It leans towards leisure, evening and nights out, and works for daily and office wear too. Votes split between feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably on either.
