Animalique in detail
Byredo, the Swedish house founded by Ben Gorham, plays in Animalique on instinct and on the animal side we lend to skin. The house files it among its intense, genderless amber fragrances.
The official pyramid opens with bright, lively bergamot and lemon. The heart gathers supple, powdery suede, violet and floral, honeyed mimosa. The base pairs warm amber, creamy sandalwood and tobacco leaves, rendered as tobacco leaf. A three-part structure, clear and easy to follow on the skin.
Animalique is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: a night out, a dinner, an evening with music. Its suede and mimosa soften the amber and tobacco, for an amber fragrance gentler than its name suggests. It suits those who like amber with a soft, slightly leathery texture.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue share some of its materials: Amber Aoud by Roja Parfums brings together lemon, bergamot and sandalwood; Soleil de Jeddah by Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 pairs lemon and amber; 1899 by Histoires de Parfums combines bergamot and amber.
