About This Perfume
Animalique by Byredo is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. Animalique was launched in 2023. Top notes are Bergamot and Lemon; middle notes are Violet and Mimosa; base notes are Suede, Tobacco Leaf and Amber. According to the brand, Animalique taps into the primal instincts and authentic essence inherent in every human being. The concept suggests that beneath our intricate layers lies a spiritual animal. The composition opens with fresh top notes of lemon and bergamot giving way to a warm, floral heart of mimosa and violet before the base of suede, amber, and tobacco leaf. Available as 50ml and 100ml Eau de Parfum.
