Dive into the mysterious depths of the ocean with Zoologist Squid, a captivating unisex fragrance inspired by the enigmatic world of marine life and the dark beauty of the sea. Created by perfumer Antoine Lie, this unique composition blends spicy freshness, salty ocean accords, incense-like warmth, and smooth woods to create a scent that feels mysterious, adventurous, and unforgettable.
With a 20% perfume concentration, Squid captures the atmosphere of a tropical ocean where powerful waves, marine elements, and hidden creatures create a world of danger and fascination. Inspired by the Portuguese man o’ war, this fragrance delivers a striking contrast between fresh aquatic notes and deep, sensual warmth.
The fragrance opens with an intense blend of ginger, saffron, and immortelle. Spicy ginger creates a vibrant first impression, while saffron adds richness and immortelle brings a warm, golden character.
At the heart, Caribbean gunpowder, jasmine sambac, and geranium create a bold and unexpected combination. The smoky metallic impression of gunpowder blends with floral elegance, creating a distinctive marine atmosphere.
