Animale for Men (1993)
by Animale Parfums

Good take on a fresher scent. Long lasting, good sillage. Some of the notes are a tad synthetic, but if I want a fresh fragrance, I want it to last all day, not fade into general rubbish, this stuff does a fairly decent job of it. One of the few fresh scents I find mostly decent from start to finish, that alone gets it a thumbs up.

Yes, it smells green, fresh, simple and cheap, but is effective with women. Personally, I think it resembles some masculine deodorants. My girlfriend and some of my female friends like it, so I respect this fragrance. I don't like its bottle, it looks like an old plastic toy. This perfume is very successful in Brazil where this fragrance is sold everywhere, so I don't kwow why Animale is classified as a discontinued fragrance at Basenotes.Part of the 'Animale for for Men' success in Brazil is devoted to its good price and sillage, as can be read from many reviews.

I smell this citrus floral and I believe I've smelled it before. I have no idea what it was but it's around here somewhere in my brain. Wonderfully dated meaning you know what era this is from. Lasts long and is strong.

I like! I do not agree smells cheap and simple,
deja vu??!no! like of all phases of this scent, the spicy in the saida abuse of lavanda supported by vetiver and geranium is very well in my skin, good sillage and longevity,
only finds that it could be finer, thumbs above!

I'll go my friend Foetidus one better. I had heard about Animale Animale, and it really sounded like something I'd enjoy.

So one day I bought it. I smelled it, was not impressed, and I wondered if this were yet another one where my opinion was in the minority. Then I finally realized that I had bought the "single Animale", and that explained everything.

I tend to read fine print, but I got stung on this one; at least it was nice and cheap. Maybe I can use it for air freshener or something.

I like to blind buy fragrances—there’s an element of risk and adventure in it. But these blind buys do not always work. I liked Animale Animale so I was prompted to purchase Animale blind—a bad decision. Just smelling it was punishment enough for that stupidity. Everything about this scent is really tasteless, beginning with the plastic encased bottle (I was warned—it’s the same one that is on Animale Animale). Then the fragrance…the opening notes—citrus and floral—are dime store gaudy and synthetic. The lavender is grossly abused. The middle notes are sharp and synthetic, and the base continues the established pattern of sub-mediocrity. If I were to ever apply the label ‘stinker’ to a scent, this would be my prime candidate.
