Role of Animalic Notes

Animalic notes serve several purposes in making

• Sensuality: They evoke a sense of warmth, intimacy, and sensuality

• Fixatives: They help to prolong the life of a fragrance by slowing down the evaporation of other ingredients.

• Depth and Complexity: They add richness and depth to a fragrance composition.

  Despite the challenges, the legacy of animalic notes continues to influence modern perfumery. Lab Made Oils are alternatives that have been developed to capture the essence of these materials while avoiding ethical and practical issues. By understanding the characteristics of traditional animalic ingredients, perfumers can create fragrances that evoke the same sense of depth, complexity, and sensuality.

Animalic notes are the mysterious, alluring heart of many classic fragrances. Derived from animals, they were once essential ingredients in perfumery, but due to ethical and practical concerns, many are now synthetically replicated.
