Celebrate the warmth and beauty of winter with Zoologist Northern Cardinal, a charming unisex fragrance inspired by the vibrant spirit of the northern cardinal bird. Created by perfumer Rosendo Mateu, this elegant composition captures the contrast between a snowy landscape and the joyful energy of life that continues through the coldest seasons.
With a 14% parfum concentration, Northern Cardinal blends fresh citrus, green notes, delicate florals, refined leather, and earthy woods into a fragrance that feels uplifting, sophisticated, and comforting. It is a scent that brings brightness to grey winter days, like a flash of red among snow-covered branches.
The fragrance opens with a refreshing blend of lemon, bergamot, mandarin, and green leaves. The sparkling citrus notes create a lively introduction, while green accords evoke the crisp freshness of nature during the changing seasons.
At the heart, rose, clary sage, and leather create a refined and distinctive character. The softness of rose blends beautifully with aromatic sage, while leather adds a warm and elegant depth that gives the fragrance its unique personality.
The scent settles into a smooth base of vanilla, oakmoss, musk, and patchouli. Creamy vanilla adds comfort, while oakmoss and patchouli provide earthy richness. Soft musk creates a gentle finish that leaves a graceful and memorable trail.
