Hyrax

Experience the raw beauty of the African mountains with Zoologist Hyrax, a bold unisex fragrance inspired by the sun-warmed landscapes, ancient rocks, and mysterious animalic aromas of the hyrax’s natural habitat. Created by perfumer Sven Pritzkoleit, this daring composition explores the primitive side of nature, blending exotic florals, smoky warmth, precious woods, and rare animalic nuances into a scent that is powerful, unique, and unforgettable.

With a 20% parfum concentration, Hyrax captures the atmosphere of a rocky African mountainscape where sunlight, dry earth, vegetation, and ancient natural elements come together. At its core is African stone (hyraceum), a rare perfumery ingredient that adds a distinctive earthy and animalic character while creating a fascinating connection to the natural world.

The fragrance opens with a sophisticated blend of elemi, pink pepper, saffron, and Turkish rose. Bright spices and aromatic resins create an energetic introduction, while rose adds a refined floral softness that balances the intensity.

At the heart, African stone, hyacinth, styrax, and whiskey create a warm and mysterious character. The unique hyraceum accord brings depth and a primal quality, complemented by smoky resin, floral touches, and the rich warmth of whiskey.

The fragrance settles into a powerful base of amber, benzoin, castoreum, civet, patchouli, sandalwood, and tonka. Earthy woods and sweet resins blend with animalic accords to create a deep, sensual, and long-lasting trail.
