What made vintage Futur so sensual, was the usage of a base formula called Animalis. Animalis was created by Synarome and has facets of civet, musk, ambergris, castoreum and the costus plant. Its effect when used in perfumery is a fatty almost buttery undertone that extends the life of the perfume as well as give it a distinct sexual aura. Jean Carles implemented Animalis when he created two other Robert Piguet perfumes: Visa and Baghari.
