Animale for Men Animale for men

Fragrantica, what about Animale Black??

Please, this isn´t an oriental fragrance, someone needs to change this information. It´s totally AROMATIC...AROMATIC.
My brother loves this fragrance, I don´t like, because this kind of male frangrance is so ordinary, that nowdays Animale, seems to be, just another one.

This is an aromatic fresh and fruity cologne seasoned with light spices on the top notes. To me, the heart of this scent smells much like apple peel (maybe the juniper berries?), freshened by the moss and vetiver in the base. It's not very natural though...
If the temperature gets warmer, I can clearly smell the mint note, wich most of the time remains hidden or outshined by the other notes.
The longevity is a negative issue in this one, at least on my skin. I get only 4 to 5 hours and I didn't find the projection very good either, but these could be due to olfactory fatigue, because at the very first time that I wore this one, I got some compliments from ladies and guys, and even from my girlfriend, who usually doesn't like fragrances that I do like.
Honestly, I don't really care much about this one. I've bought it because of its almost legendary reputation here in Brazil for its purpose in eliciting positive responses from the ladies. I wanted to check out if that was true, and for some reason, they indeed seem to turn on when they smell Animale.
In my opinion, however, Animale is nothing more than just an above average casual summer/spring fragrance.

Rate: 6.5/10

UPDATE

I am getting more longevity with this now, maybe 7 or 8 hours. After wearing Animale for men a bunch of times, I find that I now like this one a lot more. There is something in this cologne that is just plain addictive. In fact, it's so easy and pleasant to wear, despite its relative simplicity, that I can't help but find myself wearing this scent more and more often.
This fragrance is versatile enough to be worn for any ocasion, be it casual or formal, and in any season too, although it may still be more suitable for warmer weather.
That being said, women indeed praise this one.

Great, if some fresh and vanilla notes. Sillage and longevity are awesome. A mid price for a good fragrance.

One day, me and my co-worker, Jackie, went to work and from the door we smelled something wonderful, we followed the smell, got to my boss and asked: "what are you wearing?", he simply said: "ANIMALE" and we said it was gorgeous and we smelled it for 2 meters, I had never smelled a man like that in my life.

It's good, not too peculiar... but in my skin it didn't last long... did it happen with anyone too?

Ohh my Love. This was my first original scent ever back in 1994. I remember that after buying it I was knocked out with the flowery notes that evolved to reveal the beautiful heart and base that I still remember after 16 years. Thought it resembled CK Escape at that time.

I remember I received tons of compliments cos it wasn't well-known then. I asked a friend of mine to get me another one, but instead he got me Animale Animale, but of course that's a different story...

Sillage : simply wow
Longevity : 4+ hours
Feeling : Powerful
Feedback : Compliments galore

Now I don't know where I can find this gem...

Too powerful, so much so that I can be irritating. Perhaps suitable for those who want a powerful, masculine fragrance.

Fascinating scent from the beginning to the end!
It is a strong perfume, with an excellent aroma of freshness and, at the same time, power.

Its smell is wonderfull and lasts for hours, bringing lots of compliments for who wears it. The pineapple notes give the "special touch" to this fragrance.

Very sensual and masculine... a fragance to remenber

Animale for men is a fragrance with plays with the flowery notes in a blend with black leather and oakmoss for an interesting result. It´s a masculine and sensual, but not overwhelming, rather sweet and earthy fragrance. lavender and juniper is all on the way to bring this virile scents of base notes.
