L'Animal

L'Animal by BORNTOSTANDOUT is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with pineapple, honey and musk, moves into suede, patchouli, nutmeg, jasmine and musk and dries down to vanilla, caramel, musk, ambroxan, ambergris and tonka bean. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.

Heart

Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.

Dry-down

Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
