At first spray, whisky, tobacco and cumin notes hit hard, but as Foxy developed, those notes relaxed to allow a beautiful honey-amber fragrance to emerge. Gentle spice and herbal notes contrast with the beautiful sweetness of the florals and coax out the dense civet and leather. Foxy is an alluring and magnificent perfume.

Nice scent, love the concept of the fox. I get a spicy amber/animal note, definitely not sweet. It has very low projection on my skin at least. So, if you’re looking for something that projects in a room, this is not for you. But in an intimate occasion, this is very sexy and animalistic. Like a fox..

Boozy sour leather.
This is a ginger whisky leather with more doses of spices. It has cumin, whisky, amber, thyme, ginger, & peach.
This is a sweet animalic style of fragrance that supposed to present the fox, and I believe this could present foxes.
Very interesting.
Edit (10th June 2018) This is velvety, and quite soft animalic with that tingle touch of ecstasy. I sense sensuality in this at max with an intimacy appealing.

At first I found the perfume to be a bit revolting. It took me back to the 80’s, to my parents’ friends’ house. They had 70’s style furniture, a big dog, and there was always some type of cologne-like fragrance lingering around. Foxy seriously smelled like their house; like a wet dog and some cheap men’s cologne. I resisted the urge to scrub it because it was so darn intriguing and animalic in a way that I swear I have not yet encountered in perfumery. I mean there’s sweat, urine, feces, barnyard, skin-musk, but never have a smelled a perfume of wet dog.
I went about my evening, tried to get the image of that house out of my mind. About an hour later, I checked my wrist to see how it was developing, and ohhh myyyy, it was marvelous! The most wonderful cozy, elegant amber ever. No trace of wet dog. An addictive amber that I would bear the scent of that house for over and over again. I am quite hooked on it. It’s such an uncommon amber too. It’s not like play-do (which I do love!), nor is it like labdanum or any other number of specific resins. I honestly can’t put my finger on it! I can only describe it as intoxicatingly rich.
It wasn’t until later that I found out that the perfumer’s intention was to create an intensely animalic scent, the scent of a fox’s fur with a “feral fur accord”. I’d say she achieved her goal! I would imagine a wild fox to smell a lot like a wet dog. So now that I have a little background info, I find the perfume to be quite clever and artistic. I have been very impressed with a lot of synthetic and botanical animalics lately. I always mention Binturong by Auphorie, and then there’s Salome, but this one was one of the most difficult I’ve ever encountered. Still, I have grown to deeply love it.

Dawn Spencer Hurwitz is such an artist; she really has a magic touch with animalics. Spicy sexy opening leads into hours of fruity, slightly boozy, lightly sweet, always changing waves of fur, leather, salty skin set on a mossy, woody, resinous bed of gorgeousness. It lasts 8 hours on my perfume-eating skin and because Dawn is so gifted at making fragrances that live and grow, I stay captivated the entire time. Another DSH masterpiece.

I couldn’t resist blind buying this after reading about it on Dawn’s blog. She wrote that the fragrance is “telling the story of the smart, sexy, creative, wild animals that foxes are. And stylish… always, intelligent and stylish.” Also this… “I gave Foxy a bit more leather, sweat, and skin in the accords I created. I wanted you to really sense that this is a wild, sensuous animal that could be a bit scratchy in places.” Primary notes are a spiced apple brandy and ambergris, though the note pyramid is complex.
This is definitely more animalic than I expected based on the notes. The hyraceum is not playing around, but the light sweetness keeps it from being overwhelming. I definitely pick up spice and cider, but not necessarily apple. Dawn wrote that she was trying for a different “texture” with this fragrance from her other recent animalic launches, trying for a furry feeling. I wouldn’t have come to that conclusion without reading her blog, but I definitely feel the fur when I smell it!
And I may have buried the lede, because my husband immediately exclaimed that I smelled great and wanted to pounce on me after I sprayed this. He generally discourages or bregrudgingly tolerates my perfume choices.

Where my mind takes me when I wear Foxy… I’m at the ‘Farm’ (my uncle’s wooded grounds) walking through the old apple tree grove. My companion is their wonderful sable Collie, named “Wolf”. We’re pushing through the brambles and walking under the apple trees. I can smell the apples that have fallen, and are turning that cider/brandy smell (so good!) It is a bit damp, but warm, and all the woodsy smells are surrounding us. I reach down and push my fingers through Wolf’s thick fur and I enjoy the dusty, animal scent of him. We’re having such an outdoor adventure…
Foxy is a gorgeous, semi-vintage in feel, sort of apple-sweet animalic fragrance. I love how the sweetness comes and goes in waves, always very natural, and quite enticing. Foxy lasts a long time, and I’ve gotten several complements while wearing it. It does have a ‘furry’ sense about it that is refined, smart, and fun. Wonderful…
