By the editors · 2 min readAnimale Animale for Men arrived in 1994 with a combination — pineapple, cocoa, vanilla, lavender — that reads like it arrived a decade early. The pineapple and lime give it an opening brightness that's fresh without being aquatic, galbanum contributing a green, herbaceous sharpness underneath. Lavender and nutmeg in what functions as the heart carry the aromatic framework, while cocoa and vanilla below begin the transition toward something warmer and more gourmand. Patchouli, sandalwood, and amber round out a base that has more depth than the fun opening suggests. A fruit-and-chocolate masculine that was genuinely unusual for its era — still distinctive.
