SOFT ANIMAL ™️

Primal Skin Scent | Natural Animalic Perfume

-------

Limited Micro-Batch No. 3 . winter 2022-23 

Style: Animalic Chypre

Prominent Notes:

ethical local animalics
fur accord
lactone accord
champaca + florals
dirty woods

Tender, intimate skin scent of dry musky woods, fleshy florals, creamy curves, and furry fuzzy comforts.

Soft Animal invokes the personal stories of touch, the scent imprints created during memorable touch experience, and the deepening evolution of our skin hunger as humans recently subjected to further societal and familial isolation. Soft Animal is an acknowledgment of our vulnerable desires and explores their rootedness in the
exchange of touch through more than one sense.

For the poetry written during the creation of Soft Animal, see Morning Skin 


Soft Animal is the first perfume by GATHER to be centered around animal materials. Local and ethically sourced "musks" contribute characteristics inimitable in perfumery, giving them a long lineage of both lore and logic, as well as ubiquities efforts of imitation. In Soft Animal, tinctures of muskrat and castoreum create the anchor for an intimate experience of scent. If you're interested in meeting the local animal trapper and learning where and how these materials are sourced, please watch this video

-----

Batches will vary due to materials. 

This batch No. 3 consists of 320 mls. When it's gone it's gone. 

** ONLY THREE of each Fur Wrapped 30ml EDP bottles will be available. These are the respective local furs of the muskrat in the perfume. These options come with no cardboard box packaging. Each fur varies. 

All full size bottles come with an atomizer.

100% Natural Perfume Created from scratch, by hand, by Gather indie perfumer Ananda Wilson.

This was the first fragrance I tried from Amanda. I love animalic perfumes and this is absolutely beautiful. Champaca goodness drenched in woods and musk. Lovely. Bring back Tea Season!

A little is all you need. This scent is a unique blend that captivates your senses. I haven’t come across this type of scent before.

I have yet to come across a scent I have not liked but this, this is special. One drop is all I need; a little goes a very long way. As time goes on the scent changes as it warms with the body . There is a sweetness to it that is just amazing. ❣️

This is a prime example of taming musk and making it absolutely enjoyable from start to finish with florals and other ingredients. Very well done!

Thank you, Ananda, for the card and samples that arrived with my Soft Animal today. You should be proud of this creation, and I am looking forward to trying the others. An amazing chypre, intense, beautiful, compelling, what I had imagined a good Antaeus would be like. Reminds me of a non-synthetic Santos Concentree, with more depth, breadth and complexity...I love it. Regards, David
