The Tyrolean Alpine Model

"What do you smell?"
"This is a marmot, I strangled it with my bare hands and then rubbed myself with it."
SO animalic this scent smells, you could easily call it that without actually dragging it into the gruesome.
The Liquides Imaginaires and I have a funny story behind us, a somewhat bizarre acquaintance has once smelled very intensely of incense and on the question of what that was then only eye batting was answered: "Jaaaaaa, Fortis".
They are in Vienna but only in a perfumery and until now I have not managed to actually try one.
On a Florence holiday I then passed the LI shelf in a department store and the saleswoman meant: We leave the stock open, they gibts currently minus 30%.
My eyes could have illuminated a tunnel, so they have beamed and I have already tried through.
Next to the Other LI, which I bought, but this leaves the most lasting impression.
Why?
Must be because of the ingredients.
Zibet, castoreum, Skatol - all dinge, which sound somewhat foreign and there is not so.
Castoreum - a pheromone that is supposed to make other beavers fuzzy.
Civet - extracted from the civet cat
Skatol - the scent of excrement.

In fact, Peau de Bete is the expression of the animalistic, it can best be compared to a horse, after a long race, which then sweats.
Even if it is not exciting, loud and shrill, it is all the more thin, animalistic and wild.
It implies a certain urine tang, something rough, something clean, but something unwashed - as if one had a certain patina.
Rarely has it been so difficult for me to describe a fragrance, to put it into words - just as rare, however, has it been for me until now to classify the fascination for this fragrance.
I, who normally uses perverse amounts of perfume, am already overwhelmed with 4 sprays of it and my environment even more.

No question - in the right amount and properly applied the fragrance exerts a certain attraction to the counterpart, a certain mystery, what you can not grasp.
And just something raw, wild - perhaps the beaver pheromones also have an effect on humans.
At a beaver castle at night I would not pass with it in any case.
