Oh my god… ZOOLOGIST

I ordered three decants. Squid, Seahorse, and Civet. Holy hell this is by far my second favorite fragrance house (Guerlain is my favorite). I mean I can barely explain it. They're natural and animalistic but not in an offensive way.

Civet. At first it was nasty (legitimately like being in the primate enclosure at the zoo) but after it macerated I just can't get enough of it. Sweet, fruity, and natural. Like being in a jungle. I told my best friend that it went from being the worst part of being at the zoo to the best part. It's just SO GOOD.

Squid. Maybe my favorite of the three. I would probably never wear it in public but for immersion when watching films like The Lighthouse, Gojira, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea then hell yes lol. I instantly thought of the Shedd Aquarium when I sprayed it. It smells nice to me but also not. I can tell that a lot of people would find it offensive. It's very strong and I would feel almost rude wearing it in public (that's just a me thing, I'm not judging anyone that does). Like I said I'd wear it when watching horror and adventure films that are on the darker side so do with that what you will.

And finally Seahorse. A straight up beach vacation. Like a really nice rocky beach. The fresher and near objectively nicer version of Squid. It's just so fresh but it legitimately smells like ocean air in the best way possible (that's because of the ambergris and algae). God Zoologist rocks.

Update: Squid macerated and yeah, it’s absolutely phenomenal. Even better than before. I would actually wear it out now and I can identify the notes more clearly now. Inky, salty, aquatic, with a touch of incense and some subtle sweetness. Just wow.
