Animal Oud

When I first bought this I could hardly smell it.I don't consider it female but unisex.A lovely non synthetic quality fragrance.The vanilla is beautifully composed and the oud is detectable to my nose. For a body spray the longevity is 3 to 4 hours and I made it last by first putting on Alyssa Ashley Oud body lotion. A very sexy combination and ideal for the warmer weather when a lot of ouds can be too heavy and cloying. My rating for quality presentation and overall fragrance id 9 out of 10 A favourite for me which is uncommon!

acqua per il corpo confortevole, tiepida e gradevolissima, in cui non sento nessuna nota "animale", come recita il nome, e in cui l'oud, se pure c'è, è morbido ed ambrato. la persistenza è buona, per essere un'acqua, ideale per un clima autunnale caldo. i primi spruzzi sanno di un bel geranio secco e di cardamomo, che evolvono quasi immediatamente su una deliziosa ambra leggermente legnosa. bello e minimo.

My everyday autumn /winter body spray, although it sills better then some edt. spicy, dry and yes, I agree, at some point (or on some skin types) it smells like paper sheets. Precious little thing, intimate but with that elegant touch, that dryness of an oud. Precious and cheap. I have gone through 3 bottles since it's launch.

Another I Colonial naming convention mystery...why is it called "Animal Oud" with no musk and no Oud? Despite my confusion, I primarily smell geranium and sawdust with a whisper of cardamom and amber. And I mean whisper. I can barely smell it with my nose buried in it. Low sillage and longevity seem to be a trademark with all the I Colonials I've sampled thus far (8). Next...

Reminds me of YSL M7. It's a fun spray. Definitely can be worn by fellas. Nice after a shower before dinner out. That type of thing. Inexpensive pick me up. Smells a little more refined than the price would indicate, in my mind. Good value, especially if you can find on sale.
