Animalique Byredo 2023

In my entire perfume journey, I have never received so many comments from people around me about a scent. It seems to move people. In the elevator, I hear someone take a deep breath just to tell me that what is wafting from me smells simply amazing. Once, the scent lingered in the air in my apartment, and even guests had to admit upon entering my front door that this smell does something positive to you. When friends browse through my collection, this one always ranks at the top. People associate the leather with an expensive handbag, new car seats in a fancy sports car, and generally the scent of high quality. I love this fragrance; it blends perfectly with my skin chemistry. It contains everything I love. It has leather, which makes it a bit edgy, it smells clean due to the sandalwood, but it also has a floral aspect from the mimosa and bergamot, and it is beautifully powdery.
When you sweat, this scent truly blossoms and radiates. On clothing, it lasts forever. The sillage is just right, about an arm's length. A loud scent would not be suitable for this fragrance direction at all.

I especially like the scent when the juice in the bottle has already turned reddish and is well-aged; then it is at its most intense and reveals all its magic.

A top fragrance from Byredo and my absolute favorite from the house. No wonder I have already started my second bottle.
