Nightingale

Experience the delicate beauty of Japanese spring with Zoologist Nightingale, a captivating unisex fragrance inspired by blooming plum blossoms, romantic gardens, and the enchanting song of the nightingale. Created by perfumer Tomoo Inaba (稲葉 智夫), this elegant scent captures the emotional awakening of spring through a sophisticated blend of floral sweetness, spices, woods, and rich chypre accords.

Recognized as one of Fragrantica.com’s Best Perfumes of 2016 (Editors’ Choice), Nightingale offers a refined fragrance journey where delicate florals meet deep oriental warmth.

With a 20% parfum concentration, this luxurious composition unfolds like a silk kimono, revealing layers of powdery blossoms, precious woods, incense, and smooth amber tones.

The fragrance opens with a radiant combination of bergamot, lemon, and saffron. Fresh citrus brightness creates an uplifting introduction, while saffron adds a luxurious spicy warmth that hints at the richness to come.

At the heart, Japanese plum blossom, red rose, and violet create a beautifully feminine floral bouquet. Plum blossom brings a unique rosy-fruity elegance, while rose and violet add softness, powdery refinement, and romantic depth.

The fragrance settles into a rich base of oud, patchouli, sandalwood, moss, frankincense, white musk, labdanum, and ambergris accord. Earthy woods and incense create a mysterious chypre foundation, while sandalwood, musk, and amber provide warmth and a smooth, sensual finish.
