Zoologist
Year: 2016
Country: Canada
Perfumer: Tomoo Inaba

Messengers of spring arrive, bearing gifts that bring smiles to faces dulled by winter’s chill. The joyous song of the nightingale accompanies vibrant fuchsia-colored aromas of Japanese plum blossoms as they spread, infusing the tepid air. It marks a fleeting moment of emotional awaking: to some a time for celebration and fresh starts; to others, a countdown to a departure for unknown horizons. Zoologist captures the onset of the Japanese spring through Nightingale, a pink floral chypre that will melt your heart. It opens with rich scents of saffron and rosy, powdery, tart Japanese plum blossoms, enveloping the core of the perfume like a luxurious silk kimono. Deep, warm aromas of oud, patchouli, moss, incense and ambergris seek to escape, seeping from the ruddy petals, to create a composition that’s complex and at the same time, simply desirable.

An intriguing, standout scent. It's not necessarily a safe buy as a gift; I would suggest testing it out first. It's a creamy-floral fragrance, elegant and feminine, initially with quite a strong projection but it settles down fairly quickly. In the opening, I detect a somewhat animalic note, a bit stuffy, breaking through the typical sweetness of flowers. This note softens but remains in the background. Nonetheless, it's creamy and sweet.
