I’ve had a big bottle of this for a while and wanted to finally wear it. So on first few sprays, like some other posters, it smelled pretty weird and I was disappointed.
But then I remembered reading somewhere on these boards about clearing out the spray nozzle if a bottle had been sitting around for a long time so I gave it a good 25 full sprays and now it smells great!
Just like it should, juicy peaches and freesia! I am so in love with freesia! And the oakmoss does not overwhelm in this like it tends to do in so many others. The bergamot and lemon are nicely done, staying quietly in the background, not too sour, adding a little sparkle, just right. For a fragrance that has only five notes it smells more rich and complex to me.
Love this will be wearing it for the next few days, it’ll perk me up during the gloomy wet days that are forecast for the next while ahead.

Oh, this is every bit an early 90s fragrance.. in the same vein as Chloe Narcisse and Cacharel Eden. Bright, colorful, dares you to take it seriously.. and you just can’t. Not with that garish bottle and that neon fruitiness. I literally laughed out loud when I opened my package and saw the box, and then the bottle! What a nostalgic delight. Makes me think of 80s-styled arcades and movie theaters.
Anyway, I actually bought this thinking it was Animale.. I didn’t realize Animale and Animale Animale were two different perfumes. So now I have (hopefully) a bottle of the actual Animale on the way…and have decided to keep this one anyway because it’s such a delight. Big juicy peach and musky green oakmoss actually marry well together and create a fragrance that absolutely stands out–nobody is wearing this stuff right now, and I love it!
This actually reminds me of a very amped up Chloe Nomade. Or rather, what I wanted Nomade to be. I had blind bought Nomade for the plum and oakmoss notes…I was so excited for it to arrive, my goodness, a modern fragrance with oakmoss? Joy!! But!…when I finally tried it I was so utterly dismayed at how weak and sad the fragrance was. Where was the oakmoss? All I got was the “mirabella” plum note with a bit of fizzy zest and it was exciting for about 20 seconds before it faded away into nothing.
Animale Animale is Nomade on steroids. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a good fruity oakmoss scent.. something loud and proud.

@Enchant, i idn’t tested this fragrance, but sounds like yours is expired. I find the same “blend” (“rotting fruits in a garbage can with the top notes. I also get this smell of what coffee grounds and coke-a-cola would smell mixed together”)
The simmilar smell i got in my very discontinued Oblique Play de Givenchy: burned cake, coffe and rotten lemon, and in other one: Instinct d’Animale.

Blind buy at Ross Dress for Less today, I love it smells to my nose so much like the original Giorgio Beverly Hills, not a nose burner though, softer. 2 sprays on my arm and it’s still going after 5 hrs. Very Feminine pretty scent with a bit of spice! I’m really enjoying it! First spray has a bit of sharpness wait 10 minutes and no need to go overboard 2 sprays is good! I think this a fun scent to wear makes me feel lovely!!!

I remember this fragrance from the late 80’s. One of my best friends in college wore this one – and it has a very magnetic essence to it with the right chemistry. My friend wore this one exceptionally well. It was really warm, inviting, sexy, and magnetic on her. I tried it, but because it was so much “her fragrance” I never purchased my own bottle. I felt that it was a fairly easy fragrance to wear – and it wore well on my skin when I tried it, but I didn’t want to copy my best friend.
If you can wear this type of fragrance, you may truly love this.
I tried Kenzo L’Elegant and Womanity today, and Animale kind of reminds me of some of the qualities of these two. I think that it is definitely worth trying – to see how this blends with your own chemistry.

ANIMALE ANIMALE EAU PERFUM LOVE YOU
Yesterday was my niece birthday, so i went to buy a present for her, i was past by the perfume store so i just run in quickly to pick up my usually ANIMALE, but by the hurry i toke this one (ANIMALE ANIMALE) instead of (ANIMALE), because the presentation is similar, well i realized that when i was at home,

Enchant, thanks for the review. The name of the perfume is very intriguing, but thanks to your review, I didnt buy it.

I got this one today and I’ve been waiting all day to try it out. I got this one from an ebay seller that had 100% feedback for a good price. I normally don’t use ebay for perfumes, but I thought I would take a chance on it. I don’t know how old it is so you can take that into account when you read the review.
This smells just like the bottle looks… cheap! I don’t like to give bad reviews, but I smell rotting fruits in a garbage can with the top notes. I also get this smell of what coffee grounds and coke-a-cola would smell mixed together..ugh. My husband HATES it with a passion and covered his nose with his shirt. There is an animal like note in this too that is really grossing me out! I guess it could be old, and if someone gives it a good review I will delete this knowing it is. I can’t imagine anyone with a sense of smell enjoying this one… off to wash this off ASAP!
