Carrot Cake and Sunday Mornings
This is a fragrance for people who are stressed, who need a little more care and a few more hugs. For tired adults who desperately want to return, even for a moment, to that cosy, gentle state of childhood, when you could ask your mother to pick you up and somehow every problem could be easily solved. For me, it begins as an incredibly realistic homemade carrot cake, decorated with candied citrus peel and crystallised rose petals. Then, quite unexpectedly, warm young sweetcorn appears - freshly boiled, fragrant and almost startlingly realistic. As it develops and moves closer to the base, everything becomes softer. There’s a very delicate morning musk, the sweet top of a child’s head just after waking up, the languor of a Sunday morning or the quiet happiness of Easter morning. Such a lovely fragrance. This is the side of Zoologist that doesn’t provoke or unsettle you, but does exactly the opposite: it calms you down, wraps you in warmth and tenderness, and makes the world feel a little safer. To me, Rabbit belongs to the same emotional family as Harvest Mouse, Cow and Koala - the peaceful, pastoral, deeply kind side of Zoologist. Fragrances made not to challenge you, but simply to make an ordinary day feel better.
