Chameleon Zoologist

Chameleon Zoologist unfolds as a bright, tropical floral with a strong ylang-ylang core, laced with juicy star fruit, mango, and creamy coconut. The opening is a lush, citrus-tinged burst of green fruit and floral notes—violet leaves, carambola, and pink pepper—prioritizing a fresh, effervescent quality. As it matures, the scent settles into a soft, lustrous blend of frangipani, jasmine, and cashmeran, balancing tropical sweetness with subtle earthiness from vetiver and sea salt. The dry down reveals a smooth, vanilla-sandalwood-amber base, creating a warm, skin-hugging aura that lingers gently. It leans unisex with a floral, tropical elegance, particularly beloved in warmer months, and is praised for its wearable, radiant character despite a somewhat linear journey. While some find the initial projection overly soapy or synthetic, most agree it evolves into a surprisingly refined and cohesive scent. Performance is moderate—lasting 6 to 8 hours with a moderate to intimate sillage—and wearing it for long periods enhances its aromatic depth and balance. A charming introduction to the Zoologist collection, strikingly distinctive for its harmonious blend of fruit, floral, and woody accord without overt animalic or offensive notes.
