There are so many beautiful gathers, even without animal products :) I think you'll find one. Or try the souk (that's what I do when I really like a scent despite animal ingredients).
I feel the same way, but since the fragrance is discontinued, I probably won't have to shake up my principles for it. I'm still undecided whether I should be happy about that or not ;)
Wonderfully put into words - while I enjoy the scent of Chypre, I can't wear it well myself, so it was only in my possession for a short time... it seems to be perfect on you.
So if you don't really like the scent upon a second test and you already have the sample in hand, I know someone who would happily take it off your hands with endless gratitude...
Congratulations on the hit!
You can really read your enthusiasm in your words... too bad it's discontinued again, like so often...
Treasure your last drops!
My goodness, what a fantastic scent! An animalic floral chypre featuring dark red champaca flowers, warm woods, a hint of leather, lactones, and a whole menagerie, reminiscent of Maai. However, I find Soft Animal to be more elegant, playful, and charming. I wish I could have it. It’s no longer available. What a shame... The fragrance still had a story or two to tell me.
Unfortunately, there's real animal in the scent, which I don't really appreciate...
