Animali

1 perfumes

Animali notes bring a raw, pulsating intensity to a composition, characterized by leathery, musk-like, and slightly feral undertones that evoke the warmth of skin. Belonging to the animalic family, these notes act as a powerful fixative, grounding volatile top notes and providing a tactile, lived-in quality to the fragrance. They pair naturally with rich floral absolutes like jasmine or rose, where the contrast between delicate petals and primal depth creates a sophisticated, seductive tension. In the Gulf, these notes are essential for high-performance perfumery; they thrive in the dry heat of the desert, where their heavy, resinous profile projects beautifully during evening majlis gatherings or formal celebrations. When blended with high-quality oud, Animali notes amplify the complexity of the wood, ensuring the scent remains anchored on the skin for hours despite the challenging climate.
