Animalic Oriental

Orientals are already dense and plush fragrances, but the addition of animalic pheromones makes them irresistible. Some of the legendary creations of yesteryear fall into this slot, from Molinard’s Habanita (with intense ambergris and castoreum) to Guerlain’s Shalimar (with lots of civet and musk, giving an ambery bronze tinge to the vanilla powderiness). The dense and complex Oudh Infini (Parfums Dusita) dares you with a bold animal chord of civet, giving warmth to the woods and amber.
