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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its sophisticated and unique character, Anima Viva is best suited for date nights and formal events where its elegance can shine. While beautiful, its depth and warm accords make it less ideal for casual wear or sporty activities, and it might be a bit much for a conservative office environment.

About

Anima Viva opens with a sophisticated kick of whisky and bright bergamot, immediately setting it apart from your average vanilla. The heart swells with a dark, almost salty vanilla absolute, beautifully balanced by the creamy depth of Mysore sandalwood and the soft muskiness of ambrette. The base settles into a warm, inviting embrace of amber and benzoin, rounded out with a delicate citrus whisper and clean musk, ensuring it's never overtly sweet, but always elegant and refined.
