Collection: Animalic Perfumes

Animalic is a bold, often sensual scent note that adds warmth, depth, and raw intensity to a fragrance. It can evoke musky skin, leather, fur, or even a slightly dirty edge, depending on the materials used. Traditionally derived from natural sources like civet or castoreum, most animalic notes today are created synthetically. This note pairs well with woody, amber, and tobacco perfumes, where it adds richness and complexity. In small doses, animalic notes can make a fragrance feel more intimate, primal, or mysterious, bringing a deep, skin-like warmth that lingers close to the body.
