Zoologist Squid

Squid by Zoologist Perfumes is a captivating and atmospheric fragrance inspired by the vast, shadowy depths of the ocean. Mysterious and immersive, this composition tells a story of drifting ink clouds, salty waves, and hidden treasures beneath the sea.

The fragrance opens with a striking blend of pink pepper, incense, and solar notes, creating a sharp, luminous contrast against its darker core. As it unfolds, a unique black ink accord and salty marine nuances emerge, evoking the sensation of deep ocean currents and briny air.

In the dry-down, the scent reveals its true depth with a rich base of ambergris, benzoin, and musk, delivering a smooth, slightly sweet and resinous finish that lingers like a memory of the sea. Elegant yet unconventional, Squid balances aquatic freshness with smoky warmth, making it one of Zoologist’s most intriguing creations.
