Details on Zoologist Civet

Step into a dense tropical forest at dusk. Zoologist Civet brings back the glory days of classic chypre perfumes. It is a moody and complex brew full of mystery. The scent dares you to explore its wild and alluring side. It honors the rich vintage feel of old-school perfumery without being too harsh. Warm, cozy, and deeply glamorous, it wraps around you like a heavy luxurious coat. Perfect for a sultry nighttime rendezvous.

How does Zoologist Civet smell?

This animalic scent opens with a bright burst of orange, bergamot, and sharp black pepper. Soon, a rich floral heart blooms, featuring lush tuberose, ylang-ylang, and sweet frangipani. As it dries down, the magic happens. A deep, cozy base emerges with a bold civet note, warm resins, and dark coffee. Earthy oakmoss, smooth leather, and sweet vanilla create a soft, powdery finish that lasts all night.

It didn't suit my skin

On the tester this was easily a 4 out of 5 but once applied to my skin it just didn't smell right. There was quite a strong soapy ammonia sort of smell which just didn't sit right with me. My girlfriend really liked this but not on my skin.
