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.

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.

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!

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
