Byredo Animalique, an amber, suede-laced and spellbinding floral
Animalique explores what connects all human beings: instinct, attraction, the wild side slumbering beneath appearances. Launched in 2023 by Byredo, the Swedish niche perfume house, and credited to perfumer Jérôme Epinette, this unisex amber floral starts from an idea dear to its founder Ben Gorham: beneath our most complex layers lies a spirit animal. It evokes the euphoria of a night of dancing, the warmth of bodies in motion and a free, unrestrained sensuality.
A three-part composition
The opening bursts with bergamot and lemon, a vivid, luminous start that invites you to let go. The heart reveals an enveloping floral softness: magnolia brings its sunny, lightly honeyed roundness, while violet slips in a powdery, velvety facet. The base reveals the fragrance's whole soul: a supple, creamy suede accord, softened by sandalwood, blends with lightly smoky tobacco leaf and amber, which wraps the skin in sensual warmth. The sillage is moderate to strong and lasting power is 6 to 8 hours.
When to wear it
Its amber warmth and suede texture make it an ideal fragrance for autumn and winter, while remaining pleasant on spring evenings. It lends itself particularly well to evenings, dates and moments when one wishes to leave a sensual impression. A fragrance intended for those seeking a magnetic elegance, soft in appearance but deeply carnal.
