Wow. This is a phenomenal unique re-interpretation of a DNA that has been done and done.. MDA’s boozy apple is different in that the notes are blended in a way that takes you on a journey through the top, middle and base notes equally. I can isolate each note. Craveworthy, distinct and an easy reach for a beginner. Easily in my top 5 for this DNA, and maybe my favorite so far from this house. High recommend!
Boozy, sweet, and absolutely delicious!!! If I could bathe in this scent I absolutely would!
*CORDIAL* by maison de animaux is....in a word....*delicioso*. I'm not sure I detect *cognac* (there's certainly no booziness) but I'm sure it's in there. I do smell cinnamon (which I love) + caramel + fruitness + nutiness + warmth. It feels like it'd be most appropriate in fall + winter but...I'd wear it whenever I want to simply smell this good. I bought three 10ml vials anticipating I'd give two away. I'm thinking I'm holding on to all three. This is a beauty. 10/10.
This opens for me on the cognac note, with the zing of cinnamon and orange peel. Immediately, the cherry is noticeable in the scent bubble around me as I go about my day. The sandalwood, barrel wood, and myrrh drive unsweetened unisex notes. Overall, I like Cordial as a smoky, lightly-sweet cocktail fragrance.
Please bring this back so I can get the 50 ml
My go-to scent! It's sweet and spicy without being overpowering. I hope they bring this one back before I run out.
As soon as I hear this was going to be retired I hurried and bought my back ups. No more to say. 1000/10. Amazing and back up worthy!
Not going to lie, I found the brand through social media and was sucked in with the visual marketing. I was looking for a new scent and ordered two discovery sets to try as many scents as I could. I loved all the ones I chose but the actual scent I fell in love with was the sample that came with my order… Cordial.
It smells phenomenal and I get compliments all the time on it. It wears great all throughout the day. Smells like a night out where you’ve just made the best, bad decisions and you’re going to have stories to tell.
I finally finished up the sample size and went to order the full size only to see that it’s almost gone and I got one of the last few bottles. I feel like 50ml is going to last a longtime but I wish I would have grabbed another bottle just incase.
Cordial was a sample I received with a purchase and I’m in love. It starts off juicy with apple and candied orange but the dry down is so warm and rich with whisky aged oak barrel, sandalwood, and myrrh. I get a lingering sweetness from the fruit in the dry down as well. This will be my next full bottle purchase from this brand.
I love your scents and shipping is SO fast! Cordial is not my favorite though. A little too sweet and citrusy for me. I really appreciate the sample sizes so that I can find my perfect scent.
Smelled super unusual to me at first but definitely grew on me. Another cinnamon-heavy scent but you do get a little of the candied apple after it develops. It just didn't have that addictive quality I was looking for.
Clean girl scent meets caramel apple. I'm not wild about apple scents, especially caramel apple. They remind of me candles and room sprays, smell nice just not what I want in a perfume. This is actually a really nice twist on that scent profile. It has that fresh, skincare smell, but with a clear caramel apple. Somehow it works, I won't upgrade but it's worth a try.
Obsessed! I have been looking for a fragrance for myself for ages. I’m always stuck with ones that never quite smell right on my skin or I love the top notes but not really the base or vise versa. I love every second of this, from application to hours later when there’s just the lingering of the smell. I love sweet scents but they tend to be a little one dimensional or cloying but this one is subtly sweet, subtly spicy, just a little bit sexy. I can’t love this enough.
I love this one! It reminds me of Angels Share. Beautifully done.
Fast shipping, packaged very nicely and fabulous fragrance!
I ordered a discovery set and this one surprised me, as I tend to lean toward darker scents. The sweetness is irresistable, I'm ordering a full bottle!
When I received my sample of Cordial, I bought the travel sized spray within thirty minutes of trying it out. I didn't get the large bottle- that is reserved for Kefi- but it will be my go to for fall/winter.
I got a lot of the whisky and not as much of the cinnamon or apple, but still very good.
Packaged well and arrived quite quickly in comparison to other sellers. Scents are great. Also received an extra sample which was quite welcome.
I loveeee Cordial so much, it’s my favorite along with Cloudbreath! I think its light and sweet and refreshing and the new bottle is gorgeous ❤️
It's getting cooler out and I decided to start giving my warmer fragrances a turn to be worn and today, I decided to wear cordial during the day. I smell amazing. It's boozy without an alcohol note, sweet but not overpowering or candied, smooth, musky, with that underlying thickness that myrrh delivers. This fragrance is sexy but chill enough to be worn in mixed company. I'd even wear this to the office because it's not overpowering at all. It'll definitely have people asking what you're wearing but not in a creepy way. 10/10 recommend and I have a feeling this will be one of my fall staples for years to come not just this year.
Reminds of Heretic brand Dirty patchouli, a must have and perfect for layering.
Cordial is probably my favorite if not 2nd fav (next to Cloudbreath) from the samples i received! The company was so nice to also send an extra sample wth my order 🩷🤧 Cordial smells sweet and boozy yet smooth and light. I feel like i could wear this anywhere :) I’m still thinking it over but I might get a full bottle of this or Cloudbreath ! The only thing is i feel like it lasts only 4ish hours on my clothes and as a little scent bubble before i have to put my nose to my clothes to smell it 🥹 but still really amazing scent!
To die for boozy sweet perfection! Cordial is warm, boozy-sweet perfection—like settling into a dimly lit bar on a cold night, sipping an apple cordial spiked with cinnamon, citrus, and just the right amount of mischief. This is what a grown-up gourmand should be. The top notes hit with a golden richness: Ceylon cinnamon, juicy apple, candied orange peel, and smooth cognac swirl together in perfect harmony—sweet, spiced, and mouthwatering. Then the base comes in to wrap it all in luxe warmth: creamy vanilla absolute, velvety cashmere musk, whisky-soaked oak barrels, and the soft depth of royal Hawaiian sandalwood. The myrrh adds just the right whisper of resinous mystery, giving Cordial a sultry edge that makes it undeniably sexy.
It’s comforting, intoxicating, and impossibly smooth. Every note is perfectly placed, and the balance is flawless.
This is a total love. 10/10.
A bit sweet for my taste. Like all these fragrances they tend to develop after initial application.
Absolutely yummy scent! I loved Cordial the minute I first tried it in my discovery set, and I knew I’d be buying the large bottle! I wear it all the time and I just love the boozy sweetness! Don’t hesitate, just buy it!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE SO MUCH!! This was an immediate stand out in my discovery kit and i had to have the 30ml! It just smells absolutely delicious!
