I'm certain that you have created the most educational fragrance channel. It is a channel that is ( refreshingly) worth my viewing time. No foul language or ridiculous antics. Not a cheap random girl in bikini survey channel. I value your perspective. BTW could you recommend other TH-camrs who have a similar relevant education and credentialed fragrance evaluators? Life is short and I'm done with listening to the opinions of those who lack professional designations. STAY CLASSY!
Thanks for dropping the knowledge. Great vid Ashley, glad you're posting regularly
I absolutely your insights ever since you were on Sebastian's channel! Just wondering - Did you mean Antaeus when you said Le Male (esp. considering its the same year as Kouros)?
I am wondering the same lol, Le Male is quite the opposite of Kouros. Also a masterpiece though.
I don't have any animalic perfume in my collection, you explain the different notes of these perfumes really well, very informative ! You made me want to try one of them, especially the musc ravageur ! :)
Love the way you describe the fragances, good to know how long they last to your experiece and if they change once you applay
I enjoy being educated about fragrances to make a thoughtful and informed decision on what I like or may like. Expanding my nose to enjoy different scents...I appreciate this..thank you from the Bay Area
Yay Bay Area 🙌 and thank you for your kind comment!
Hi Ashley, very good video, I tried all the video parfums and my favourite is Musc Ravageur.
Best regards from Valencia-Spain.
Loving this video upload speed. Keep it up Ashley!
Thank you!
OMG Finally I found another Animalic fragrance list! It's been a while 😭
Hi Ashley, great content as always. There is one thing I might misunderstood and would appreciate if you could clarify. Do you refer to Le Male from Jean Paul Gaultier as an animalic scent or is it a different scent because Le Male is not animalic to me at all. Thanks!
Great stuff. Love the informative content.
Thank you! 🙏
Great video! I love Kouros, have worn it for years (occasionally). Have you ever tried Furyo by Jacques Bogart? May be discontinued but still seems to be available.
Loved it 💥
Think it was Chanel saying a woman must smell like a woman, not like a rose 🦫
Yea, but a woman shouldn't smell like civet either. Chanel was getting at clean skin, which is why Ernest Beaux used the overdose of aldehydes.
Btw, my masculine analogue of The Scent of a Woman, i.e. The Scent of a Man, is Polo by Ralph Lauren.
My most animalic perfume is Givenchy Gentleman 1974. Civet, patchouli, honey and leather bomb. Pretty animalic in the opening because of the honey and the civet top but then gets earthy from patchouli and the russian leather with the civet in the back. Greetings
@ Ashley, TF Mandarino di Amalfi has Civet in the composition, love it. Also PDM Galloway has beast mode musk that leaves a scent trail of note.
I love Using Amber Greece, and this was very informative video 👍🏾❤
Glad you liked it!
Great list
I recently bought Rosendo Mateu #7 and it is a stunning, slightly animalic oud, Vanilla frag. Just luxe and beautiful.
Great list and mini fragrance class! My favorite animalic is Carnicure by Marlou. I usually pair it with Porpora by Tiziana Terenzi or Silver Musk by Nasomatto.
Thank you! And I love your choices!
Great content! My absolute favourite animalic frags would be Gold Man by Amouage and Ambre Eternel by Guerlain
Hi Ashley. Ive followed your YT channel after seeing you in one of Sebastian's videos. I must say your choices are really sound and sometimes even under the radar. Was there an ambergris centered fragrance in this video? If not, do you mind mentioning it?
Great vid. Not a fan of many primal frags aside from ones that contain musk and ambergris . Definitely not any with civet lol
Great vid though and love the content👏🏼
Hi, thanks you for this video 👍
Actually, hyrax are related to elephants...so I have read. Great vid! Fave animalic: Lapidus Pour Homme: " funk honey": fantastic!
I would love to see a video on becoming an independent perfumer! That would be great! 😀
Thanks . I enjoyed this.. I have a sample of “musc ravageur “ but have not received sexy compliments from it like I have from spicebomb extreme and TF oud wood..
Thanks for the list, Ashley. The one I'm immediately going to get (because I've been salivating over it for a while) is Musc Ravageur, and then Musc Koublai Khan. Might try the others. I might, also, get more into ambergris. Still waiting for the layering vid;-D
Try encens mythique by guerlain amazing ambergris slightly feminin leading with rose. I love it
@@porousdumasia3256 I like Rose fragrances, so this should be a good one for me. Thanks.
My favourite animalic fragrances are Mandragola by V Canto and Horla by January Scent Projects. Throughout the years, I have learned to appreciate animalic fragrances.
Two by Zoologist perfumes that i quite enjoy, Musk Deer, a pretty textbook musk done to perfection in my opinion; and then Hyrax, which is a pretty "skanky" animalic fragrance, tip-toeing the line of wearability, but i still think its wearable.
I love your demeanour and more intelligent analysis, it really is a breathe of fresh air. But on no.1 I’d love to hear a few more personal insights into it except mentioning what it’s called. I too love Musc Ravageur as a man, and I’m worried it’s too much sometimes (it’s a beast for sure), but I appreciate it’s affect. Love it all so far so keep up the great work - but don’t skimp on the conclusion if you can add a couple of minutes on the best 👍
If you want something animalic and cheap try out Givenchy Gentleman 1974 or originale. A good dose of civet in a 50 dollar package even in today's reformulation
You should try mugler woodissime! A great animalic that's wearable
To me the best classic animalic fragrance for men is Chanel Antaeus, with the same atomic power than Kouros but elegant and sofisticated something that Kouros never was, in this case Antaeus use castoreum, don't get me wrong I like Kouros (I have a vintage bottle in my collection) but to me Antaeus is superior in every aspect and another classic that nobody talks nowadays is Diva by Emanuel Ungaro, this one used to be my kryptonite, this was tremendously sexy and totally drove me crazy, I used to ask my girlfriend to use it often just because that used to awake my most primal instincts, this one used civet in its composition, unfortunately although all these 3 fragrances are still on the market the reformulations resulted in fragrances that in some cases are just a watered down version of the original and in others like the Diva totally ruined the fragrance, saludos desde Monterrey, Mexico!
Is today’s Antaeus still good or was it reformulated?
@@Finn959 in my opinion modern Antaeus still is quite good. The magic is still there, unlike Kouros which modern variants (later L’Oréal era, white-shouldered bottles) aren’t that special.
I've always had trouble with animalics in general. Too much funk. But in the right amounts, in the right way, very controlled and judicious, they can impart a je nais se qua (or however its spelled!) to a frag. I love vintage, "old school classics, and evidently many of them used a proprietary concoction known as Animalis, which used costus root among other things. That gives a very slightly funky halitosis-like accord that is much better than it sounds. Here are a few of my favorite frags that seem to have this dimension:
Hermés Equipage (1970)
Floris Elite (1980)
Then there are a few favorite frags I have with animalic notes done well:
New York Intense by Parfums de Nicolai
Monsieur by Lancetti
Danger by Roja (although the nasty cumin complicates it)
I hate Kouros. Nasty. Even the creator, Pierre Bourdon, said he doesn't like it.
It sounded like you said Le Male, as in JPG Le Male, but I can't imagine that is what you meant. What was it?
Oh, and according to the book Floating Gold, a book about ambergris, the origin and nature of ambergris is pretty settled: its whale poop, not vomit.
I love anamalic fragrances. Especially Chanel Antaeus, Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme, YSL Kouros, Chanel No 5 EDT and surprisingly Cartier Santos which doesn’t contain any anamalic ingredients at all
when talking about KOUROS you mentioned LeMale ? I dont think you meant LeMale (from JPG): did you misspeak? or is there another LeMale that you are referring to ? LeMale (JPG) is well regarded as a more modern Fougere: freshy clean with classic barbershop tones - not animalic is any way - by smell or by note breakdown. Can you advise ?
I was thinking the same, maybe she was referring to MAAI
You’re totally right, it is absolutely a fougere and I should have clarified a bit more. While it’s not Animalic, it has this very sweaty cumin note that at least on me keeps it from smelling clean and veers on animalic.
I had blind bought Jicky a couple of years ago after reading it was a feminine perfume that suited a man. When it came to my house, I opened it, sprayed it, and found it sickening. But then, just as you said, I gave it time, and gradually it settled into something milder, less civet, more lavender, and the combination of the two was unique. I would still not say it is a favorite, but rather an odd, acquired taste I sometimes sample. The civet undertone is not appealing to me, but I ignore it and try to go along with old fashioned oddity of the scent.
Musk Ravageur is king ! I love it so much !
It’s amazing 😻
Don't know if this qualifys as anamalic but Chanel Antaeus. Original contains castorium. That hands down was/ is my favorite. I have a newer formulation and it is close but not the same.
Bravo!
Do you find that animalic notes are the most subjective? Things like Chanel Pour Monsieur (the EdT) or Milano Cento Him for example... not known for being animalic but I can't go near them.
That ambergris story is crazy
Thanks. Try ELDO Rein. .getting myself musc ravaguer.
I love your videos
Thank you!
I'm surprised that you consider Le Male to be an animalic. That's interesting.
1st formulation was extremely
@@nealefrancis9094 It's possible that was the case for some. I wore the original and it was a blast of mint and lavender with that awesome vanilla sweetness on me. She hit the nail on the head with Kouros and I'd include Gentleman Givenchy as animalics that were popular.
@@TheAmosuno same, I’m confused. Even in the oughts it was a sweet and ambery fougere
Kouros and Anteaus. All these bleu fragrances smell so synthetic.
Chanel Antaeus for me
And the animalic king: Antaeus by Chanel. Floorwiper.
Gucci Pour Homme
I remember wearing it and a female asked "who stinks like that?" 🤨
Noooooooo!!!! I really liked it 😥😥😥
People like you should post more often than those dolled up numbskulls who keep contradicting their own statements. Glad that I found your channel through Mr. Smelly. Cheers!
Chanel antaeyes black bottle.
no Francesca Bianchi scent?
Hey Ashley, do you smell Kouros on people in France?
Sometimes! Definitely more here than I did in California
Opium pour homme ysl
Le male animalic?
Chanel Antaeus is the best animalic
Le male like JPG le Male ? That should be Animalic ? Are You meaning a different Le Male ?
That is what I was wondering. I definitely do not get anything animalic from Le Male.
It’s true it’s first and foremost a fougere, but the cumin note makes it super “sweaty” and dirty on some people. I should have been more clear in the vide. Thank you for your comment!
@@ashleyinparisvideos le Male smells like chewing gum to me or a kids Thoothpaste that Taste like strawberry ... way to sweet and "Colorfull"/synthetic ... i dont like it at all ...
le male? animalic?
I appreciate your comment that they smell animalic but you still smell pretty great and I hope it’s true. I have sampled a few fragrances suggested by other older TH-cam channels and other than someone with their pinky in the air that’s hardcore into fragrances claiming how this that and the other scent develops and it’s such a great smell blah blah blah. Um no some of the things other Channels suggest smell downright funky as hell. No normal person around you would smell them and be like omg you smell so good. More like omg were you assaulted by a skunk?! 🤣 I blind bought one because it was on a limited time sale half off. Whole bottle ….wife said well I definitely don’t have to worry about you ever having an affair while you’re wearing that and it was a fragrance recommended by 4 dif channels 😳 😆
now i know what animalic means, i now know what fragrances to avoid.
Today I learned that some perfumes are made with rodent poop.
It was a surprise for me as well 😂, I will say it’s only very rarely used
First time I've seen a beautiful woman liking animalic fragrances that men would like to wear but they don't because women don't like fragrances like kouros.
This is disgusting!!! Animalic parfums are disgusting!
shut up
