Animale for Men

First things first: there's Animale for Men (this one) and Animale Animale for Men (the sweet honey tobacco one). In my case I purchased this by accident thinking it's the sweet honey tobacco scent. Was I disappointed? No. This is a 90s scent, I never knew back then but I have smelled it from neighbours / open windows etc. it gives f*ckboi energy like a review below says, it's playful and reminds me of a guy in the 90s who just got out of the shower and is getting ready for a crazy night / clubbing, wearing his back shirt. I don't know if I will use it, but it brings some 90s vibes and I like it. I do get citrus and lavender, but maybe the geranium is the key notee that turns the scent into bitter / masculine character, while being fresh - overall it's a very unique scent, it is worth a try

I really enjoy Animale for Men because it has a bold, masculine scent that stands out and lasts for hours. The blend of fresh citrus, spices, and rich woods gives it a classic, confident character without feeling outdated. For the price, I think it's one of the best values in men's fragrances.

this is the smell of a slutty man, this fukboy will devore you with his eyes, His between 20-60 years ols, a bit homosexual and a vary active sexual life. This said, there's something in this fragrance that wake's up an inner anger on myself, i don't know, is the type of smell that can put mein a bad mood, isn't disconfortable to be around, is something tha make me feel animalic, i personaly wouldn't wear, but some friend love this.

If Nikos Skulpture and Dirk by Bikkenbergs had a baby, Animale is the baby. I was pleasantly suprised by fresh and aromatic smell which definetly has that 90's vibe but now is still modern. It is for everyday and anytime of the year.

I was disappointed to find out that this smells like Polo Sport and Drakkar Essence. I like the scent but i don't love it. and I already had what i needed from this kind of scent with Polo Sport let alone Essence....NOW THIS. you never guess the two would smell so similar (Animale and Sport) but looking at the Notes breakdown (Sport is way more complex) a reminder that until you smell it there is no way of knowing if you will like it.....i waiting on Animale Animale which is supposed to smell like Mugler's A*Men....we'll see

If Ck Eternity and Polo Sport had a baby, it would be Animale for Men.

Gives "Jock from the 90s" vibe. Smells like teen spirit, literally. This fragrance is bottled youth, I love the green and flowery smell, and I love it even more that they made it so masculine and cheap for what it offers. My personal fragrance for daily use, can't go wrong with this nostalgic classic in hot weather like Brazil. Very empowering and energetic with a good perfomance for its class and price. Would recommend 100%

I’ve read a few reviews saying this is similar to tres nuit. I’ve had both and maybe my nose is broke but I don’t see hardly any similarities at all. I might repurchase this fragrance as it can go cheap on fragrance x just to revisit it…..

É fresco, gostoso, bem versátil, porém é antigo e sintético, talvez tenha caído no comum. Mas eu particularmente gosto bastante, uso pro trabalho e dia-a-dia. Cheira a homem padrão em dia comum. Aroma: 8/10 Perfomance 6/10

Almost identical to armaf tres nuit . Not crazy about it but people around me seem to like it

Just a fresh, flowery and clean scent, on the opening, the citrus of the lemon is very noticeable, followed by the clean fresh floral note of lavender and the geranium. To me, this fragrance smells just like clean clothes and a twist of lemon, it's from '93 but I wouldn't say it's dated at all since it is a pretty youthful scent with a hint of floral. Very nice for spring and, fall and maybe even summer, nice starter signature indeed, for its price it is pretty nice and very easy to wear. As for performance, it has a moderate sillage, a pretty nice longevity for a fresh fragrance and a good value for what it is. It wouldn't be fair to compare it to any of nowadays fragrances, the industry has evolved a lot throughout the years and that's something important to keep in mind when reviewing classics.

I see many reviews comparing nice fragrances with Axe body spray so I’m looking forward to buy an Axe body spray now.

I dislike this fragrance so much. It wouldn't be horrible as a gym fragrance. I like ones that are inexpensive, and considering I bought a 6.8 oz bottle for $30, I thought it would be decent, but it reminds me of those cheap adidas fragrances. This might be okay for a teenager or preteen but definitely not for anyone 16+.

Terrible vegetal smell. Smells like the Jolly Green Giant's Junk.

No joke, this reminds me of the smell on my hands after handling bluegill during a fishing trip. I recently got into fragrances this year back around July and this is the first of almost 300ish combined bottles and decants I have gotten that has been viscerally revolting.

strong cheap smell

This is one to be a signature if you're just starting with perfumes. Very aromatic, and may work during the colder months because of its potency. This is a powerhouse; it lasts, projects, and smells super pleasant. Aromatic is the definition here, but it goes on a pretty synthetic way, too. I'd recommend this as blind buy worthy since your can get it for so cheap ~$20 from discounter for a 100ml bottle. The atomizers on these are awful, though.

This is different to CW or Tres Nuit because it has a pronounced leather note unlike them from the start till dry down. This one is clean, almost minty with neroli sweetening. Later you get the animalic leather. It can remind you of a shoe store, youngster in a custom Civic, a college locker room all with a bit of sophistication, hence any age can wear it.

Easily the best value in my collection. This one gets compliments. The pump is garbage, but hasn't stopped working. Think twelfth grade gym class in the middle of the schoolday with a few hours to go. This is THE cologne to put on to get you through the day. It's like a top of the line Avon product without that telltale giveaway Avon scent. Perfectly fine for any age. Fresh and inoffensive with a hint of animal muskiness that I'm probably getting from the base notes. A great starter for a young man's collection.

Vintage formula: its quite similar …..mmmm….let’s say…to lots of the above listed …..but let me tell you something….”similar” not close at any point of getting them confused with others….this is a quite unique scent and it can clearly nowadays have a place in the niche perfumery industry - it does bring me back to the 90s where perfumes where really good 😊. Please try the vintage parlux formula

This definitely reminds me of Silver Scent by JB. The lemony, spicy opening with the neroli upfront is here. I do get some lavender, geranium and leathery accords. Overall, not a bad fragrance at all. It's definitely worthy of a blind buy imho. I don't think that I'll buy it again. I'd say that Silver Scent does better in terms of performance, but hey, that's Jacques Bogart for you. Anyway, I do like this scent. It's refreshing, not beastly, but moderate performance and projection. Safe for anytime wear. Very uplifting and easy. The bottle cap does leak. I have the 6.7oz bottle. Tacky bottle I must say. Sprayer really needs updating. Seriously. Wth??? This is definitely 1980's or 90's. I could see Bruce Willis wearing this just starting out in the Seagrams Golden Wine Coolers commercials of 1985, but he's since moved on to something like Baccarat. Anyway, Happy spraying, all. Scent 3.5/5. Longevity 3/5. Projection 2.75/5. Value 5/5.

Not bad at all... flowery ...sub lemony... i like it in my memorie. I'm born in the city with the most romantic spring. It is situated in Southern Europe, in the north zone of Mediterranean climate and on the side of all streets are linden trees. This frag reminds me of that time when we are wearing cheap and dirty leather jackets, that keeped the smell of dropped over limonade and the aftersmell of the perfume of our teenage girlfriends after tight hugs. For an eventuell future flanker I will suggest just to add little mint and weed taste... and Njoy!

I really like this one and as someone stated, they stick to the same formula over many years. I've gone thru many bottles and use it as more of a day, clean fragrence and it's easy to wear anywhere and does not offend. I been wearing Tres Nuit by Armaf (what a great quality fraternal twins to a expensive house. Well, well, brilliantly done. My wife can't tell the difference) and I swear these two are close and suprised to see not as many clicked on Tres Nuit under, "smell alike". They are both very light and very pleasant. I'm more of a darker fragrance type. I like more vetiver, earthy notes so this is great but I love say Mercedes Benz Le Parfum.

Updates, Hats off to Animale no reformulation here. They stick to the original menu he can’t go wrong with this one.

Longer lasting and not as complex Polo Sport. It's a crowd pleaser. This is the ultimate fresh out the shower fragrance. 2 sprays tops

Animale for Men (not to be confused with the vastly different Animale Animale for Men...oof, they didn't think that one all the way through!) is your classic early '90s "sport" fragrance. It is, in fact, much "sportier" than its 2014 flanker named as such, with a citrusy opening and lavender drydown not unlike that of Polo Sport, Aqua Quorum, or Wings. The main difference in Animale is the neroli note, which sweetens up the opening considerably and gives it its own character. Don't get it twisted, though; this fragrance still gives off a strong locker-room vibe, though not in an unpleasant way. I could see high schoolers from back in the day applying this after PE class. Performance on Animale is...really good! It has clearly survived whatever reformulations it might have gone through, still serving out heavy projection with longevity of 8+ hours on my skin. Ultimately, I think I'll stick with my beloved Aqua Quorum for my '90s "sport" fragrance fix, but if you're into the genre and are looking for a nostalgia fix then you'd definitely like this one.

I had this one back in the early 2000's, when I was in my early 20's. I was not a fan of this back then, as the scent, bottle and whole theme turned me off. Recently, I have acquired a handful of these bottles by coincidence as they were bundled with other used fragrances I bought online. I have tried it out again. Wow, things have changed with my feelings about this one. Not that this scent is so amazing, but the name "Animale" is right about one thing: it's beastly! This fragrance is strong as hell and lasts forever on me. The scent is really interesting and masculine, and I have yet to really wear it out and see people's reactions to this 90's classic. I can't wait. A nice re-discovery.

I have used this cologne since the early 90’s I can say of all the colognes in my collection this one gets the most compliments, and I have 120+ in my collection and some of the big names such as Versace and Armani. This starts out sweet citrus and dries down to a leather and wood mildly sweet but manly fragrance. On me this is a beast it last all day 12+ hours and the Sillag is very long as well 6+ hours. My wife even gets a little jealous when women out of nowhere come up ask me what I’m wearing. Yes it is dated, but when something smells great does it really matter? But....the good news is this fragrance is really affordable and still available. Try it the people around you will love it!

I obtained a vintage bottle of this, and it reminds me of a what a leathery flanker of Cool Water (vintage) might be like; there's a nice minty quaility not in CW here too. I have yet to try Polo Sport so I can't speak to any similarities with that one. I think I prefer Animale to Cool Water, but I'm not much of a fan of this type of composition. I'll give it a full wearing one of these days to see if anything new is revealed.

Another cheap blind buy, but a successful one! Animale smells different for an early 90's fragrance. It has a feel of the 80's powerhouse fragrances but the upcoming clean and aromatic fragrances of the 90's. It is done very well though. I get a very clean, animalic, floral scent with this. The freesia and orange give it a spicy bright citrus opening while the lavender, geranium, and juniper berries adds a clean floral almost green scent. The dry down makes it a leathery clean and gives a sort of sophistication to the fragrance. I wouldn't call it an oriental spicy but a fresh spicy floral scent. It's perfect for year round, it's fresh for the warm months and spicy enough for the colder months. The bottle is very nice as well, not sure what the lightning bolt represents or what it has to do with Animale but I do like the starry night/stone look of the bottle. I'm surprised there are no animal notes in this fragrance, given the name and the fact that it has an animalic type smell, either way, a great scent!
