Panda Edition 2017 Zoologist

Panda 2017 from Zoologist Perfumes is a bold, unisex fragrance that unfolds with a crisp, green apple note intertwined with ozonic freshness and a subtle, damp earthiness. Over time, this evolves into a layered composition where juicy fruitiness mingles with musky, animalic undertones and a warm sandalwood-vanilla base. It's not a conventional fruity or floral scent—instead, it feels alive with natural complexity, like a fresh forest after rain, with clear green and earthy facets that convey a sense of damp soil, musk, and gentle florals. The scent is highly concentrated, long-lasting, and projects moderately, making it a standout choice for daytime wear in spring or summer. While some find the opening vertically sharp and apple-forward—reminiscent of a candy or soap—others describe it as deeply immersive, with a chypre-like depth and elegant transformation. Despite its bold animalic edge, many agree it’s wearable, especially when applied sparingly. A few note a synthetic or soapy quality, while others find the earthiness overwhelming or reminiscent of a zoo, but most acknowledge its uniqueness and depth. It’s not for everyone, but for those drawn to fresh, green, earthy, and slightly provocative scents, it offers a highly distinctive and memorable experience.
