Animale for Men

For me, this fragrance is fascinating from start to finish. Animale for Men has the characteristic of being refreshing and powerful at the same time, and it earns me many compliments when I wear it. It is classified as oriental-spicy, but in my opinion, it is much more of an aromatic-fougère, as it has notes of lavender and oakmoss. On my skin, it has the junction of two worlds: the fruity and the woody. I feel pineapple notes, although it is not listed in its composition. The leather notes of the base are not too exaggerated, while the notes of vetiver and geranium bring a beautiful result. For me, Animale for Men follows the line of Burberry for Men, although they are different in several aspects. I think it should go into any collection, at least once. Finally, it remains to be said that it exudes and lasts very well!

This is a fragrance I love and always will. It brings me back to the old days as teen when life was all about having fun and trying to hook up with girls. This fragrance was something affordable and a real compliment getter. Honestly I was all about Animale and Kenzo because it was different. While all the other guys were taking a bath in Drakkar Noir I had a completely different sent going on. I know this is a love /hate type of scent but for me it will always be part of my collections. It smells good to me, I like the price and bottom line it still gets complements every time I wear it. Sillage: projects moderately for me Longevity: Long lasting on my skin Complements: Just about every time it is worn Again this is my take on what I like and Animale may not be for everyone but for me I still love the stuff.

Just a fresh, flowery and clean scent, on the opening, the citrus of the lemon is very noticeable, followed by the clean fresh floral note of lavender and the geranium. To me, this fragrance smells just like clean clothes and a twist of lemon, it's from '93 but I wouldn't say it's dated at all since it is a pretty youthful scent with a hint of floral. Very nice for spring and, fall and maybe even summer, nice starter signature indeed, for its price it is pretty nice and very easy to wear. As for performance, it has a moderate sillage, a pretty nice longevity for a fresh fragrance and a good value for what it is. It wouldn't be fair to compare it to any of nowadays fragrances, the industry has evolved a lot throughout the years and that's something important to keep in mind when reviewing classics.

I have used this cologne since the early 90’s I can say of all the colognes in my collection this one gets the most compliments, and I have 120+ in my collection and some of the big names such as Versace and Armani. This starts out sweet citrus and dries down to a leather and wood mildly sweet but manly fragrance. On me this is a beast it last all day 12+ hours and the Sillag is very long as well 6+ hours. My wife even gets a little jealous when women out of nowhere come up ask me what I’m wearing. Yes it is dated, but when something smells great does it really matter? But....the good news is this fragrance is really affordable and still available. Try it the people around you will love it!

It is very strange to me that Animale For Men is classified as an oriental spicy; first off, it does not contain any spices whatsoever; secondly, its aroma is completely fruity and flowery with animalic and earthy accords; and thirdly, it doesn't share any similarities with Opium Pour Homme, Jaïpur Homme, and Bvlgari Man in Black, which are actual oriental perfumes due to the number of spices there are in them (they also contain vanilla and/or tonka), as well as the warm aura they provide the user with. In my opinion, this scent should belong to a different olfactory group, and I reckon many other perfume lovers agree with me. Happy sniffing.

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...

Not bad at all... flowery ...sub lemony... i like it in my memorie. I'm born in the city with the most romantic spring. It is situated in Southern Europe, in the north zone of Mediterranean climate and on the side of all streets are linden trees. This frag reminds me of that time when we are wearing cheap and dirty leather jackets, that keeped the smell of dropped over limonade and the aftersmell of the perfume of our teenage girlfriends after tight hugs. For an eventuell future flanker I will suggest just to add little mint and weed taste... and Njoy!

This is so awesome and fresh! I do feel some mint when first sprayed, and I really enjoy the fruity notes (I can sense some watermelon and strawberries in it!) blended with lavender; plus, sillage is great, and longevity is good. That said, I like Animale a lot, as well as Animale Animale, and sometimes I can't tell which is better! (I usually lean more on Animale Animale, though.)

If Nikos Skulpture and Dirk by Bikkenbergs had a baby, Animale is the baby. I was pleasantly suprised by fresh and aromatic smell which definetly has that 90's vibe but now is still modern. It is for everyday and anytime of the year.

É fresco, gostoso, bem versátil, porém é antigo e sintético, talvez tenha caído no comum. Mas eu particularmente gosto bastante, uso pro trabalho e dia-a-dia. Cheira a homem padrão em dia comum. Aroma: 8/10 Perfomance 6/10

Now this fragrance you will NOT like it at first spray for 2 to 3 minutes Maximum, BUT after that it will bust you will an amazing floral lovable emotion fun field!!!

GOSTO DESTE PERFUME, ELE É JOVIAL E ENERGICO, EM MINHA PELE ELE DURA 6HRS SENTINDO O SEU BOM CHEIRO, MINHA PRINCIPAL NOTA SERIA 7.0

I smelled this in the perfume store. I kinda like it. To me it smelled a bit like new shoes. I never tried it on my skin though.

Updates, Hats off to Animale no reformulation here. They stick to the original menu he can’t go wrong with this one.

The bottle I'd bought in early 2013 is running out...I'll be getting a brand-new one soon!!!

Excelente perfume, una de mis favoritas desde que yo tenia 13 años de edad.

damn where have i been, good chit even better, cheap

Animale for Men (not to be confused with the vastly different Animale Animale for Men...oof, they didn't think that one all the way through!) is your classic early '90s "sport" fragrance. It is, in fact, much "sportier" than its 2014 flanker named as such, with a citrusy opening and lavender drydown not unlike that of Polo Sport, Aqua Quorum, or Wings. The main difference in Animale is the neroli note, which sweetens up the opening considerably and gives it its own character. Don't get it twisted, though; this fragrance still gives off a strong locker-room vibe, though not in an unpleasant way. I could see high schoolers from back in the day applying this after PE class. Performance on Animale is...really good! It has clearly survived whatever reformulations it might have gone through, still serving out heavy projection with longevity of 8+ hours on my skin. Ultimately, I think I'll stick with my beloved Aqua Quorum for my '90s "sport" fragrance fix, but if you're into the genre and are looking for a nostalgia fix then you'd definitely like this one.

This definitely reminds me of Silver Scent by JB. The lemony, spicy opening with the neroli upfront is here. I do get some lavender, geranium and leathery accords. Overall, not a bad fragrance at all. It's definitely worthy of a blind buy imho. I don't think that I'll buy it again. I'd say that Silver Scent does better in terms of performance, but hey, that's Jacques Bogart for you. Anyway, I do like this scent. It's refreshing, not beastly, but moderate performance and projection. Safe for anytime wear. Very uplifting and easy. The bottle cap does leak. I have the 6.7oz bottle. Tacky bottle I must say. Sprayer really needs updating. Seriously. Wth??? This is definitely 1980's or 90's. I could see Bruce Willis wearing this just starting out in the Seagrams Golden Wine Coolers commercials of 1985, but he's since moved on to something like Baccarat. Anyway, Happy spraying, all. Scent 3.5/5. Longevity 3/5. Projection 2.75/5. Value 5/5.

I had this one back in the early 2000's, when I was in my early 20's. I was not a fan of this back then, as the scent, bottle and whole theme turned me off. Recently, I have acquired a handful of these bottles by coincidence as they were bundled with other used fragrances I bought online. I have tried it out again. Wow, things have changed with my feelings about this one. Not that this scent is so amazing, but the name "Animale" is right about one thing: it's beastly! This fragrance is strong as hell and lasts forever on me. The scent is really interesting and masculine, and I have yet to really wear it out and see people's reactions to this 90's classic. I can't wait. A nice re-discovery.
