Animale Temptation Man
Animale Parfums (2005)

A mediocre woody spicy scent, reminiscent in smell of the men's power bombs of the 1980s, minus any excitement. Sillage is adequate, but longetivity is poor.

No better nor worse than a million other generic men's drugstore scents.

Nothing interesting going on here.

Temptation begins with an enjoyable citrus / coniferous accord accented by a clean lavender. Nice… but after fifteen minutes, there's a dry period when not much seems to be happening… I suspect it's when the musk has moved in (I am anosmic to some musks). The fragrance basically dies for me at that point, only to be picked up again about twenty minutes later when a peppery wood scent takes over the aroma duties. I guess this accord is the “exotic woods” accord – it's quite nice, but it is extremely reticent. This base accord hangs on for an hour or so as a subtle skin scent.
Temptation would have been a good scent if it had a bit more substance at its core and a little better projection at the end.

Honestly, this is a pleasent woody floral scent but the longevity is horrid. Maybe 1 to 2 hours if you're lucky. The silliage is extremely close to the skin. The adds for this stuff make it look ideal for romantic encounters, and I would have to agree because it doesn't last long enough to be good for anything else. Thumbs down. Check out Animale's Azul instead.

A good spicy blend of lavender and nutmeg with a citrus top. It feels like the same spicy accords that are found in B*Men minus the patchouli drydown. Temptation's drydown is woody and musky with a solid bitter tonka. All around a really different and unique scent but the longevity isn't one to write home about but the sillage is wonderful. Worth the price you can find it for at online discounters.
