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.

100% Natural Perfume Created from scratch, by hand, by Gather indie perfumer Ananda Wilson.
As always the packaging is off the rails beautiful. Individually boxed then collectively wrapped along with a few samples. Amanda puts her heart into the product and each scent is beautifully crafted. I honestly feel like I’m getting something sacred when I order these. Couple that with the fact that I have a scent I enjoy, Smells good on me and is so unique that I get comments about it everywhere I go. An added bonus is getting to hear Ananda geek out and explain perfume theory and the chemistry of the mixing. Please don’t ruin my vision of her lovingly cutting fresh items with a silver knife by the full moon. Thank you as always. BK

Surprisingly soft
I had expectations that this would be overpowering scent, or disturbing but it is very friendly and I look forward to trying it more.

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!
