What does Carnicure / L'Animal Sauvage smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so it doesn't lean clearly either way.

The notes sit together as one whole rather than in layers. Sandalwood and labdanum form a warm, woody base, while civet and musk add an animal, leathery weight. Violet and orange blossom soften it into a powdery, creamy, sweet floral side, and patchouli adds a spicy darkness.
