Maison Incens Neroli Animalis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jean-Claude Gigodot. Neroli Animalis opens with Bergamot, Petitgrain, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Floral Notes, Neroli, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Sea Water, Animalic, Benzoin, and Ambergris. Maison Incens's Neroli Animalis carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Neroli Animalis puts bright neroli and orange blossom against animalic and ambergris notes, so it is clean and skin-like at once. It is unusual and a bit daring, for those who find plain neroli too polite.

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.

About

Neroli Animalis opens with orange blossom, petitgrain and bergamot, bright and fresh. The heart centres on neroli, with floral notes, woody notes and geranium around it. The base is where it turns unusual: animalic notes, ambergris, sea water and benzoin give a marine, skin-like warmth beneath the citrus flowers. It is a fresh floral scent with a daring, animalic edge.
