Animale Animale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1994. Animale opens with Lemon, Lime, Lavender, and Lily of the Valley, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Animale's Animale carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A legendary cheapie that punches well above its weight, Animale Animale is a divisive gourmand. Some reckon it's a dated mess; others hail it as a groundbreaking, sexy honey-tobacco dream. Approach with an open mind, particularly for the colder months.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Animale Animale erupts with a bright, albeit fleeting, pineapple and citrus splash, quickly softening into a syrupy honeyed heart. Sweet florals and a hint of spice from nutmeg mingle before a smooth, masculine dry down of tobacco, vanilla, and warm woods takes centre stage. It's a complex journey from fresh fruit to a rich, resinous base.
