Indie line Dawn Spencer Hurwitz has launched Rendezvous, a new unisex animalic fragrance.
I let my imagination go to a time and place when animalic perfumes reigned supreme. Of course, I included the four traditional animal notes: musk, civet, ambergris, and castoreum with added elements of aged oakmoss, and botanical “animalics”; ambrette co2, labdanum, and hyracium tincture (aka African Stone). The heart is filled with indolic juhi jasmine, orange flower absolute, and gardenia balanced by a slightly sharp and spicy white pepper and aldehyde top note. The result is a lush, provocative, and thoroughly sexy perfume for both men and women.
Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Rendezvous is available in a variety of sizes and formats, for more information see the website.

I’m sure I will end up trying it, after I work my way through all the DSH samples I already have that are waiting to be tried
It’s not easy to keep up with DSH
Love the name, bottle and concept. The fragrance sounds totally NOT me, but beautiful for someone else!
I honestly can’t smell it at all in my mind — no idea if it is me!
That sounds both wonderfully skanky and really scary to me! I do love a good animalic, but this just sounds too traditional. I just know that the aldehydes, the oakmoss, the pepper and the jasmine would give me the headache from hell.
My heart lies with the sweet tuberose or orange blossom animalics, and with animalic gourmands.
Yet another in a long list of DSH perfumes I need to try, though this one pretty much overshot everything else on the list.
