Details on Zoologist Squid

Dive into the dark, endless depths of the ocean. Squid by Zoologist is not your typical sunny beach scent. It captures the cold, salty mystery of the deep sea. A massive sperm whale dives, leaving precious ambergris in its wake. This elusive treasure blends with tangy brine and sweet, cloudy ink. It is an elegant, melancholy tale of the sea. If you want an aquatic scent that feels truly wild and deep, this is your perfect match.

How does Zoologist Squid smell?

The fragrance opens with a sharp burst of pink pepper and crisp frankincense, mimicking the cold ocean air. The heart reveals a moody blend of black ink and a realistic sea salt accord, grounded by warm opoponax. As it dries down, a deep base of ambergris, benzoin, and musk creates a slightly sweet, resinous finish.

This perfume reminds me of the first warm rays of sunshine hitting the driftwood of a beach, partially still covered in snow sludge. It is phenomenal and complex, but has such a soothing and warm character. I adore it.

Better on paper

On my skin, the fresh scent doesn't come across as well as on the test strip. Longevity is okay, though. It smells more like ink than aquatic freshness.

The deepest ocean

Absolutely beast fragrance - you love it or hate. It reminds me of the deepest point under water. Heavy ink, smoky, salty notes. This fragrance literally smells like a sunken church in salty water.
