Civet Extrait de Parfum — Zoologist
Parfum / Extrait from Zoologist.
Scent description (editorial impression)
The name promises a zoo. Most owners describe something plusher and odder: warm fur, black coffee and orange marmalade over a spiced floral chypre, with leather and oakmoss underneath. A minority get the dirt the label warns of, stale sweat or worse, which makes this one to sample before buying.
