  Animal notes have been used in perfumes since the beginning of perfume-making. They impart a sensuality, depth, and tenacity to a perfume that is unrivalled. The traditional animal notes are: Ambergris, musk, civet and castoreum. However, I have included leather notes in this family as well. In the modern era, most perfumes with animal notes are manmade, non-animal synthetics and accords that are created to simulate the original scents.

It's YOU... only better! *(DSH sfx can be classified as one of our "skin scents" that adds a natural, "not-too-perfumey" fragrance when worn as a "perfume").
