Six full notes crowd the very top of Animale Animale Cologne, and Animale rarely believed in restraint when building this particular fruity aromatic opening decades ago. Pineapple, lavender, lime, galbanum, lemon, and lily of the valley open in a quietly ambitious rush unlike most typical men's colognes ever released today. Honey, nutmeg, ylang ylang, rose, and jasmine carry the middle into warm, spiced floral territory that keeps the composition interesting throughout the entire long wear. Vanilla, tobacco, patchouli, amber, sandalwood, musk, and cedar close the base in dense, resinous richness that lasts for many long hours. This fruity aromatic Eau De Toilette suits evening wear and grand formal occasions especially well, convincingly rewarding real patience with its own layered complexity.
