Squid Extrait de Parfum — Zoologist

Parfum / Extrait from Zoologist.

Scent description (editorial impression)

The sea at night rather than the beach by day: ink, salt and incense over a sweet, boozy amber, which one wearer who normally avoids blue-bottle aquatics rates as the real thing. It is strong and long-lasting on skin; the dissenters find it too sweet or simply unpleasant, and one caught a note of corn in the dry-down.

Drawn from 10 independent reports across 2 venues.

Parfum / Extrait. Honey built without honey: the house uses beeswax and a royal-jelly accord, and wearers describe waxy, golden florals, mimosa and orange flower, over benzoin and vanilla.

Snowy Owl Extrait de Parfum

Parfum / Extrait. Cold rather than sweet: wearers describe snow, cold stone, chalky iris and the water left in a vase, with mint and a little coconut lotion at the edges.

Moth Extrait de Parfum

Parfum / Extrait. Dust, honey and smoke: wearers describe an old wardrobe opened after years, powdery flowers and burnt honey, once a loud spice-cabinet opening has passed, which some read as medicinal or metallic.

Sacred Scarab Extrait de Parfum

Parfum / Extrait. Lemon and aldehydes fizz like a freshly opened bottle of wine, then the room goes dark: resins, dried fruit, myrrh and a musky, animal warmth that some wear as ritual incense.
