by Zoologist Perfumes
Seahorse Zoologist is a bright, multifaceted aquatic fragrance that evokes the vibrant coral reefs of tropical waters. It opens with a distinctive blend of fennel, cardamom, and musk mallow, giving a soft, creamy, almost gourmand impression reminiscent of beachside bakery or sun-warmed seaweed. The core is a softly indolic, rich ambergris-like accord energized by clary sage and neroli, creating a warm, aromatic, and subtly aquatic heart. The dry down reveals a green, vetiver-driven base with a delicate balance of salty-algae echoes and light white floral notes from tuberose, enhancing the natural, coastal feel. Performance varies widely across skin types; many report excellent longevity (8–10 hours), with strong projection initially and a soft, intimate trail afterward. The scent is primarily a daytime summer fragrance, best suited for warm weather and social settings. It lands in a unisex space—worn comfortably by all genders—but leans slightly masculine due to its green herbal depth and voluminous ambergris core. Overall, it’s a harmonious, naturalistic aquatic that captures the beauty of shallow, sun-drenched reef environments without leaning into harsh or synthetic notes.
