Byredo Animalique is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Animalique opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Violet and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Suede, Amber, and Tobacco. Byredo's Animalique carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - Animalique isn't a primal beast, it's a sophisticated suede that's deeply alluring and divisive. While some love its creamy, clean elegance, others are underwhelmed, expecting something far wilder from its moniker.

Its moderate projection and smooth, warm character make it versatile for many settings, excelling on dates or casual outings where its sensual quality can shine. However, the strong initial leather notes may be a bit much for a formal office setting, though it's generally deemed inoffensive after the dry-down.

About

Animalique opens with a surprisingly clean and bright citrus glimmer, which quickly mellows into a captivating heart of powdery violet and sweet mimosa. The true star is the base: a sumptuously soft, almost creamy suede mingles with a whisper of smoky tobacco and a warm amber embrace. It's a surprisingly gentle take on leather, evoking luxury rather than raw power.
