Lalique Elegance Animale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Cécile Matton. Elegance Animale opens with Geranium, Saffron, and Peach, settles into a heart of Balsam, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Leather and Sandalwood. Lalique's Elegance Animale carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one is a proper head-turner, but it's not for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it beast; some find it a sophisticated leather dream, others a 'challenging' mix of industrial fumes and sour fruit. Definitely sample before you buy.

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.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Elegance Animale opens with a bold, almost boozy hit of rich leather, immediately commanding attention. A flash of juicy, sweet peach and bitter saffron cuts through, adding a complex spicy-fruity facet before a heart of deep, jammy rose and resinous balsam emerges. The drydown settles into a luxurious, warm leather with a creamy sandalwood finish, a scent that's unapologetically rich and captivating.
