Tubereuse 3 Animale

If you can't read I might believe you you did not expect it to be animalic, otherwise well, you should have known. The woody and animalic part reminds me of Zoologist's Civet - it has a very similar kind of old woody, civetone, pissy smell to it. The tobacco is also very present here - it is more of that woody, dusty, dried, a bit vegetal kind of tobacco you might know from perfumes, not a cigar or Marlboros. The plum is more of a sweet, sticky note somewhere in the mix, not a standalone you pick immediately. The neroli/kumquat brings some nice freshness and acidity to the opening, kind of softening the animalic piss not to attack your nostrils from the start. I don't get the grass part of it at all. Throughout the lifetime of the fragrance there's this sweet, peachy tuberose, and you should expect that, too. A complete unisex. This is most definitevely a fall and winter perfume. The tobacco and woods in the base with a strong animalic character is sweetened and lightened with tuberose. It is not office safe, a safe blind buy IF - you know and like civet, tobacco, and tuberose and can imagine those together. The performance will last you the whole day, while it projects and leaves the village it isn't nuclear, you won't kill anyone with it unless you spray more than 6 times. you might want to pick it up now - that's the only tubereuse I haven't found on their official website, the 1 and 2 are still there. Discontinued?

Another masterpiece from Histoires de Parfums, which is a truly outstanding niche brand. I'm no fan of tuberose and usually dislike animalic skank, at least on myself, but this one goes straightly to my wishlist as I feel that it simply makes my everyday life better :) It is not animalic to my nose by the way. In fact, it's a very wearable powdery perfume, heavy on tobacco, tuberose, and immortelle, with a slight fruitiness on top. It's difficult to explain, I have never smelled anything like this in my life, but it's still not dreadfully avant-garde: it's quirky but still smells very good in the traditional perfumery way. Tubereuse Animale shares something with its virginal sister Tubereuse Virginale: cashmeran and, obviously, tuberose, the same creaminess and the same somehow musky feel. The drydown of Tubereuse Animale is pure gourmand and fluffy creaminess, something like dulce de leche, but not as sweet. I agree with my fellow Fragranticans below: it's a comfort scent. Completely different from what I thought it will be, I guess the name "Animale" isn't that apt in this case. Gorgeous perfume, and not a "difficult" one. Considerable sillage, and good longevity.

Opens with a strange plum and sweet flower combination that is very edible and sultry. There is something very dark underneath the edible notes that is growing in strength together with tuberose notes. After a while tobacco notes become apparent and the plum tones down a little. Now, herbal notes (I think liquorice) combined with immortelle make the scent change from sultry and juicy to dry and a bit rough. Drydown is a tobacco with a few spices, sweetened by dark fruity notes and the same candy tuberose as in all 3 of the Tubéreuse scents, and a little bit of cinnamon and ambrette which gives a slightly musty undertone. Both sillage and longevity are moderate on me. My goodness, I absolutely love the opening. And the tobacco notes. And the tuberose. I never got any leather notes, though. I like the funky change from edible to dry tobacco, too. I almost dismissed this one as too bland on the tester strip, but on skin it smells great, it really blooms. I wouldn't want to call this one animalic even though there is ambrette in there. Want-list!

I was in a hurry the other day, and grabbed quickly from my treasured "sample chest," ripped off the plastic covering and started spritzing. Tuberose? I didn't have time to look at notes. I left the house smelling a delicious warm sweet tobacco wood, heavy on immortelle, whiffs of leather and a bit of animalic, but not urinous or skanky. An amber quality remained in the dry-down, but I did not exactly register "full-on tuberose"(no Criminelle here). This was not quite the mentholated encounter I was expecting, but warmer, fleshier. The Tuberose is a backdrop for the sweeter aspects to shine, adding a floralcy that makes it easier to wear for both men and women. I like it very much, and it's very definitely a try, if not an actual FB buy--which it could be for I don't think it will disappoint if one likes his or her flowers more "oriental" and skewing sun-bathed and woodsy. I like Tuberose, but I have to say this "take" on it suits my overall personality and wears better than say a Fracas. Prefer it out of the three Histoires! Happy smelling!

Oh wow, wild tubby tuby!!! After owning Carnal Flower and Tubéreuse Criminelle, I wasn't that interested in trying new tuberose-centered scents for a while. Plus, I thought nothing could beat the Lutens. This is much fatter, louder and milkier than the other two and it was an instant YES for me. I linked it to powerhouse scents for clubbing such as Le Male and that ilk. No no, they don't smell the same, I just mean this is a wonderful choice for clubbing. It's daring, great sillage and it develops so as not to trap you in a linear story. The tobacco is strong but it's mostly about the tuberose going wild. And sexy to hell! I truly love it. Pretty unisex imho but it should be sampled first in the case of men since this might be too much for most. Girls don't miss this jewel! It lasts for aaaages and eventually becomes similar to the criminelle cousin (which still stands as my fave). Great work chums at Histoires de parfums!! Thanks John for this creamy beast.

I can't comment on the individual notes as I have not knowingly smelled tuberose before this fragrance. As usual that will not prevent me from trying to force my experiences onto careless readers. What I get is floral, buttery, fragrant, rich. It is something like one of those delicious scented candles that you have to stop yourself from biting into. In this case the candle wax is made of the sweetest animal fats and the richest cream. It is the only scent I have encountered that makes me feel as though I am putting on weight with every greedy lungful. This is an acquired taste; for me at least. I found it almost stomach turning on first try. Now I find it beautiful, addictive and the most unlike any other fragrance I own. As a man I am not sure how often I would wear this in public. However, that is not enough to stop me from buying a bottle. It is worth the price of purchase just to know I can visit this discovered world of decadent beauty.

This smells to me like a moment of history. Like an old boudoir room with a worn off, dark ebony drawer that hides different kind of memories. One of them being an old makeup casket with bloody-red colored velvet padding, full of colorful, but dark oily lipsticks, eyeshadows and even an enormous fluffy powder puff. It's dark, dense, rich, quite sweet, damp to powdery and indeed carnal, but not too spicy, with the most prominent notes being tuberose and tobacco, a whiff of smoky immortelle for a mysterious feeling and a little plum (a very ripe, syrupy one) that gives with the tobbacco a damp, wet feeling to the whole composition. This is tuberose done right - not childish, not too pink/bubblegummy smelling. It's warm and comfortable indeed, very feminine, very ladylike, but at the same time heavy, loud, carnal, dark, tempting, powdery, dusty, maybe even a little suffocating, and like others mentioned in some way vulgar. I love it.

Oooh this is good.. With Tuberose featuring as a soliflore in the title you'd expect that to be the dominant note, however, the real heart of this fragrance is a smokey earthy grand filth of a smell where the Tuberose nestles amongst rich, leathery, dark and masculine companions. The Immortelle adds a 'burnt' sugary note that gives a gourmand feeling without the typical vanillery sweetness of gourmands. I associate Tuberose with sickly, overtly feminine, cloying scents where the strength of this noisy flower shouts far too loud. Yes, this too is a noisy perfume but it growls rather than shrieks. It's certainly 'animal'. I chose to try this fragrance as I'm experimenting with my least favourite genre of scent - white florals. I'm glad to say that this lovely little sample brought my arch smelly enemy into a much safer place for my nose, rooting deep in the earth with the animals.

Fragrance nardo gourmand, sumptuous, blunt and glamorous. It is worked with the opulence of the floral classics of yesteryear and with that density that have the Orientals that are cut with knife and fork as if it were a cake of several layers. Here there is nothing for languid lolitas, no strawberry tarts, pink sugar clouds or syrupy fruitchoulys, this fragrance has character and much personality, so much that could serve the male audience as it already happens with many female classics: Mitsouko, Parfum de peau, Ivoire, Shalimar, 1000 de Patou or number 5 among others. Very well made, it develops in three light phases and during this development the aroma of the suggestive nard is evident in all development accompanied by the immortal and a touch of tobacco all very sweet and with an excellent balance. The evocation of a classy retro. Rating: 8.5

I have been sampling different Histoires de Parfums for a few months now. I visited a boutique in Paris and fell in love with the design and the style of the shop. I have since collected a few and got this one as a sample - I am totally in love with this fragrance. My favorite part is how smoky it is! All day, I get whiffs of smoked tobacco. It reminds me of smoky scotch and dark smoky beer - all things I love - and the dark caramel, just delicious! I was anticipating it to be more rose - the tubereuse is maybe something I am not familiar with in comparison to the more traditional rose scent in Rosam - which is also amazing and much more fresh and feminine. My favorites from this house, in order: Tubereuse 3 Veni Irreverent Rosam Vidi Ambarem The only one I don't like: Fidelis The ones that are ok but not as amazing as the rest: Ambre 114 1876

Tubereuse 3 Animale is quite an oddball of a fragrance; a theatrical scent with an unusual swamp green color to match but I love this wild little number for its evocative uniqueness. Barely a tuberose fragrance to me. The star is the immortelle - unlit tobacco combination to my nose and remains this way from start to finish. It's dry, sweet, maybe even incensey. The other notes come to play for a while and fade. I just get some plum in the opening and gets woodier in the drydown. It might be considered a cool weather fragrance but definitely brings summer to my mind. You know, mediterranean is not only seashores and fig trees. It's also dry rocky mountainsides, olive orchards, blazing heat, cicadas singing and clear blue skies. That's what I get from it, maybe not the easiest fragrance to wear but still a great one.

I'm a fan of tuberose, I love tobacco and I am definitely a huge fan of immortelle so I was fairly certain that I would enjoy Tubereuse 3 Animale! And I do! I get barely any tobacco at all but that's easily forgotten when high on the glorious combo of tuberose and immortelle! That it also happens to have a certain retro skank that I know from Bal a Versailles is just the cherry on top! It's warm, syrupy, delightfully golden and slightly carnal and I just adore it! Longevity is great on me, 12 hours or even longer (I have smelled it 24 hours after putting it on, but that was because I "woke it up" when washing my hands). Sillage is moderate, not a monster but not very discrete either. I would imagine this to be a perfect scent for anyone striving for a 30s vamp kind of vibe! It has that kind of gorgeous drama!

Consistently getting compliments with this scent, which responds well to overspraying, luckily for me (!) - I've had strangers say, "you smell gorgeous." These are people walking dogs, total strangers. I guess you either like it or you don't. I'd describe it as a besmirched tuberose, which becomes a sing-out rich floral (without the knock-down punch of Poison) and considerably more nuanced. Those nuances include animalic facets and people differ in their response to these, but the clue is in the name. If you prefer a sunny, ribbons & bows, pretty-dress tuberose floral, try Tubereuse 2 Virginale by this House, which is very nice. This one is called Animale, because of those dark facets. I find it well made and I have 2 bottles, a darn shame if they discontinue it. It seems the best scents often are... *sigh*

I'm not a big believer in labeling fragrances "male or female." I do believe in masculine and feminine because that is an aspect, not a prescription of who can wear what. Tuberose usually falls along the feminine side - but this one beautifully rides the line right down the middle. My signature scent for the past two years has been HdP Tubereuse 2. It's definitely sweeter but there is a slight darkness to it that keeps it from smelling toooo feminine. Tubereuse 3 on the other hand, is nothing but dark and sexy. I decided I needed a change and this one is really great. I don't think I could go through multiple bottles but i love how deep and sensuous it smells. It lasts 10+ hours on my skin and clothes, and people ask me on the bus what I'm wearing. I have never been disappointed by HdP.

In contrast to Histoires de Parfums' 1740 (Marquees de Sade) which IMO is very naughty and nasty, Tubereuse Animale is equally naughty but is extremely nice! A truly unisex even genderless fragrance if there is such a thing. Like all HdP creations, the ingredients are of high quality and the scent lasts pretty long (at least 8 hours on my terrible and ageing skin). The scent does fill a room when first applied with strong fruity tuberose and tobacco combo but it will calm down as time goes by to a mild sweet floral scent. I can't emphasize enough that Tubereuse 3 Animale is a must-have or try at the very least for lovers of strong floral/tuberose scents! Thank you YouTuber @FragranceJourney01 for the recommendation and bravo HdP. A perfect 9/10!

Sometimes you get that rare discovery. After testing some amber perfumes last week, amongst which Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114, today I obligingly decided to give Tubereuse 3 Animale a chance.. Being used to the possible -harsh- offensive side of tuberose I applied modestly. I must say I am genuinely impressed: Tubereuse 3 Animale is very original. It has a velvety darkness which projects a distinct "come hither" aura, probably caused by the combination of immortelle, plum, woods and tobacco. Almost never do I find a perfume Really sexy, this Beauty definitely is. Tubereuse 3 Animale could be my new signature scent. In my top five for sure..!! Sister in Sin: Lutens Cuire Mauresque Edit: Samsara Shine could be a lightweight far away cousin

Tubéreuse 3 Animale By Histoires de Parfums Interesting fact:There is some kind of an old sensation which is in common in most perfumes of this house like a déjà vu or a good memory..Tubéreuse 3 Animale,Is a mysterious,dark ,lustful, floral perfume. It is exactly on the border of feminine and masculine fragrances.Tuberose in here has it’s dirty aspect Which has been perfectly combined with animalic notes.Just like The (blind owl) by (Sadegh Hedayat) While trying to give back life to transcendent girl,smelling her body. Tobacco is the main reason why this fragrance can be easily used by men too.Finally in the base the immortelle At this moment it reminds me of 1740 and of course tuberose again and again. Number 1 quality

Oh boy. Do I love this 'fume!! Tubereuse 3 Animale is that sexy beast of a concoction that would be Jessica Rabbit's signature scent. The immortelle and tobacco sweeten this potion to a density that almost makes it feel like a solid, not a liquid. This is not an ingenue... or even a simple flirt. Was it Glen Frey who wrote, "City girls just seem to find out early how to open doors with just a smile..."? She's wearing T3A. This a nighttime, snowed in, minus 10 degrees, the kids are at gramma's house, brand new silk teddy kinda scent. I wouldn't dare wear this out of the house. Heat would amplify this to the next town or county. Whoa, breathless. Heatwave in the ice storm..

Tubereuse 3 Animale is a beautiful and dangerous scent. What a seducer! What starts out as deep and feminine tuberose quickly reveals a woody/leathery underbelly that mingles in a slightly smoky middle and dries off to a lingering fruit and amber coupling. As with most Histoires de Parfums scents, there is a serious blurring of gender, and this sweet concoction can easily be worn by a man who wants to walk a bit on the edge. No. 3 Animale revels in the deeply floral eroticism of tuberose with no apology or fear of offending. Becasue it's an Histories fragrance, it lasts all day and has a long, beautiful dry-down. Highly recommended.

Whoa! I'm having an 80's flashback. Whoever said this reminded them of Poison was right. Big Tuberose and Plum - no where near the same level of tobacco and immortelle - they are just supporting roles. I wish I would have tested before buying the full bottle. Oh well, I have an early gift for someone for Christmas. I agree with the comments about Marlene Dietrich, seems like a fragrance I could see her wearing. Definitely a heavy hitter! Edit: Okay, after the plum and kumquat top notes fade, you do get more of that immortelle, maple-brown sugar smell coming through in the dry down. Still kind of challenging for a man to pull off.
