I get a lot of sweet musk in Dzing!'s drydown, that's for sure, and you can't miss the civet in Jicky. Save your samples, though, and try them in a year. For me, my appreciation of Jicky changed immensely. (Although fresh kitty fur is one of the best smells I know.) Welcome, and I hope you have fun digging around on the site! There's a lot of good stuff here. Animalic has a lot of forms, from civet to musk to a vague, unidentifiable “funk”.

I fail to pick up anything else, unfortunately. I wish I could smell what everyone is writing about. Perhaps spraying them might help. Otherwise, the only animal smell I like is the smell of my cat's head au naturel. Having tried the aforementioned perfumes on her, I still get that note that's unpleasant to me. So it must be my nose & not my skin. Oh, well... Great reviews here, and the Chandler Burr books just opened up this whole world to me! Thanks!

I have both Cuir de Lancome and Dzing!, and although, like you, I find similarities, I've convinced myself that they're different enough that I must have both!

It's soft and buttery suede, it actually recalls to my mind my runs on the horse trail that I go to everyday in a forest and that is the most comforting smell to me. I smell earth and sweetness from drying grass in the breeze. Also Angela I sensed a similarity to Cuir de Lancome which I adore , it's more powdery in the beginning of that though. I want to fold and get some D'zing! but wondering if I can justify it when it smells like something I already have? But one can never have too much of smooth leather scents right? It's delightful! Always LOVE your reviews, they the most descriptive and imaginitive ones on here. Very whimsical and alluring, you have convinced many people, me included to venture out and try a beauty that you've written about! Thank you<3 xo~T My lovely friend Julie just sent me some of this today and I love it.

Give it a few more tries, I say. Maybe something will happen. Or not. Do you at least get sweet musk in the drydown? Give it a few more tries, I say. Maybe something will happen. Or not.

Having loved the various descriptions of Dzing and enjoying both hay and leather notes, I was excited to see what this one held. Well, on me it smells nothing like what I've been reading about! There is a chilly overlay of daffodil or iris, I imagine, that reminds me of certain kinds of generic dishsoap, covering a warmer incense. That's all I get. The cold sharpness of the top reluctantly melds into the warmer underlayer over the first two hours, and a thread of sweet spiciness emerges. I don't get leather. I don't get hay. I don't get cardboard. I certainly don't get fur or candy apple. Nope, this one makes me feel sad and forlorn, like I am standing freshly abandoned on a downtown sidewalk as it begins to rain, warm tears filling my eyes and spilling over to vanish in the rainwater on my cheeks. It may not be what others are getting from Dzing, but I can at least say I've never had a perfume alter my mood like that before.

Well, it would be utter madness to get rid of it. The sales assistant in the Marylebone shop said that Dzing, Dzongkha and Timbuktu are their top sellers. So. Good for L'Artisan and good for us.
