Animalic Booster?
For me, the fragrance is not an "animalic booster", but a leathery, slightly animalic booster that is trumped by iris! Francesca Bianchi's signature is clearly recognizable and runs through the entire fragrance!
The animalic aspect of the fragrance only reveals its full potential in the drydown, but even here it is rather subtle.

In my opinion, it can also be worn on its own, but the name is a bit misleading because the fragrance is only slightly animalic... but still bought blind and satisfied!!!

Leather bomb with pure brute animalism
Arrived today, you could already smell it through the packaging. Leather in its purest form, with hints of peaty whisky. The violets are more to give the fragrance a complexity and are in the background.
The fragrance fills the room: two half sprays and my whole apartment was filled.
I will try combinations.

tried this in the summer heat & felt it intensly radiating off of my forearm for 5+ hours. Don't spray too much, a little goes a long way!

The sensual, fluffy, musky Bianchi DNA + very smooth, smoky and woody leather. Not complex, not linear, NOT a "layering fragrance".
