Fragrance Character
A unisex fragrance decant with a moody, inky, and slightly salty character. Spiced incense and solar salicylate in the opening, a heart of black ink and sea-salt accords softened by opoponax, and a deep base of ambergris, benzoin, and musk. Atmospheric, introspective, and artistic, perfect for those who want a perfume that feels like dark waves, ink clouds, and moonlit ocean air.
Performance
- Zoologist Squid offers very good longevity with a noticeable, mist-like projection in the first few hours.
- It opens with a more pronounced salty–incense and ink impression, then gradually settles into a softer ambergris, benzoin, and musk skin scent that stays present for many hours.
- Ideal if you want a niche perfume that feels distinctive and evocative without being overwhelmingly heavy.
Best For
- Autumn and winter, and cooler spring days or evenings
- Evenings, niche events, artistic gatherings, and moments of quiet reflection
- Anyone who loves salty, smoky, resinous niche fragrance decants with an aquatic twist
- Unisex fragrance lovers looking for an ocean-inspired scent that isn’t a typical fresh marine scent
