Animalique
Animalique by Byredo is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot and lemon, moves into mimosa and violet and dries down to amber, sandalwood and tobacco. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Heart
- Mimosa Soft, powdery, honeyed yellow flower. Gentle and comforting.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
