Animal Notes

About

Animal notes in perfumery evoke the raw, earthy scents derived from animal secretions, such as musk, ambergris, and civet. These notes are characterized by their warm, sensual, and often slightly animalistic aromas, which can range from sweet and creamy to deep and leathery, creating a sense of intimacy and primal allure. Typically used in base notes, animal notes add depth and complexity to fragrances, enhancing longevity and richness. They often evoke feelings of warmth, comfort, and allure, making them popular in both oriental and chypre compositions, where they contribute to a more pronounced, seductive character.
