  I’ve tried all three new Marlou releases and this is the best, though it sounds a bit excessive to me. The opening is a bomb, yes, a bit aggressive, but what stands out most are the dried flowers over a very animalic base, with a potent musk that smells like castoreum or civet. In the end, just like in the other two perfumes from the brand, that animal note is the most noticeable, though here it’s better balanced with rice and woody notes than in Ambilux or Carnicure, where for me they become unpleasant (in the case of Ambilux, it smells exactly like someone licked my hand). The performance is very good, for better or worse: if you like it, it lasts all day, but if you don’t, it follows you even after you wash up. For me, it’s totally unisex and more of a daily wear. Scent: 5.5, Longevity: 9, Projection: 7.5, Value: 5, Versatility: 7, Uniqueness: 8.5, Overall: 6.

  It’s a special fragrance, with a light rose opening. As it settles, it becomes a sweet, powdery musk with a dry edge. Of the three, Carnicure is the best.

  It’s a special fragrance, with a touch of rose at the beginning and as it settles it becomes a sweet, powdery musk with a dry edge; of the three Carnicure has, this is the best.

  Perhaps the most animalic fragrance I’ve ever tried. The castoreum dominates from the start, with subtle touches of civet and dusty dried petals. It begins with maximum animal intensity, which then calms down. The first 45 minutes are castoreum and dried petals; afterwards, the civet enters, noticeable but nothing unpleasant, until it moderates and blends into a powdery castoreum that sometimes reminds of leather. It’s difficult, tough, not for beginners, nor for gourmand tastes or guys with an angelic look. You have to try it before buying blindly. I like it, but it’s very personal. It’s for (better at night) cold days, as if you’re wearing freshly cured furs right on your skin. I see it as unisex, leaning male, because it evokes decision, going after what you want, a socially and culturally masculine image, although there are probably more determined women than men. In men, it makes them more masculine, giving the impression of a primitive movie male: nothing sophisticated, direct, marking territory and getting what he wants, a nocturnal hunter. In women, it’s the same, the determined female, confident, knowing what she wants and getting it: a nocturnal hunter. It reaffirms an authentic and magnetic personality, enhancing natural sensuality. It’s very balanced, with no sharp edges or stinging moments, though penetrating by nature. Lasts about 10 hours with a strong sillage for the first two, then fades, so you need to measure the sprays to find a comfortable dose.

The castoreum and dried petals take the lead for the first 45 minutes, then the civet kicks in—noticeable but not unpleasant like in others—until it moderates and settles into a powdery castoreum that sometimes sounds like leather. It’s tough, difficult, not for beginners or gourmand or young tastes. You have to try it before buying blindly. I like it, but it’s very personal. It’s for (better at night) cold days; with it, you’re “wearing” cured furs right on your skin. I see it as unisex with a male lean: it incites decision, going after what you want, a socially masculine image. It doesn’t exclude determined women, for sure there are more of them. In men, it makes them more macho, primitive, nothing sophisticated, direct, marking territory: a nocturnal hunter. In women, the determined female, confident, going after it without waiting: a nocturnal hunter. It reaffirms authentic and magnetic personality, enhancing natural sensuality. Balanced, no sharp edges or stinging moments, though the scents are penetrating by nature. Lasts about 10 hours with a strong sillage for the first two hours, then fades, so you need to dose carefully to find a comfortable level.

  It smells like sweat and goat udder to me. I can’t handle it.

  Not really, it smells like sweat and goat. I can’t stand it.

  This isn’t an acquired taste or for experts. For niche or fragrance newbies, it will turn them off, but gentlemen, vomiting isn’t just for them; we who are inside the community feel it too. It’s unjustifiable, no matter how hard they look for nuances. It’s simply a big NO. I don’t think anyone could like it even a little; if you do, enjoy it while scrubbing it off with a thousand showers because it never goes away. Testing it on skin could be the worst mistake of your life.

  The notes don’t match the website; it seems like a powdery musk mixed with dried rose, easy to wear in my opinion, just like all of Marlou’s perfumes. I don’t think any of them are excessively dirty or offensive; I suppose it’s differences in each person’s olfactory perception, but so far I haven’t found any challenging animal fragrance except those with a very prominent dirty leather note, like Lover’s Tale, Amber Kiso, or Cuoium.
