About This Perfume
Think Rum-soaked suede with honeyed almond sweetness: that is BORNTOSTANDOUT L'Animal. It opens with almond paste, rum and nutmeg, moves into suede, heliotrope and Mugane™ and settles on honey, gaiac wood and sandalwood. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2024.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something leather forward and sweet for nights out.
- Sample first if: you are unsure about strong spicy notes; this one divides opinion.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $90.
