Squid Zoologist

Squid by Zoologist Perfumes is a deeply atmospheric and artistically rendered fragrance that evokes the imagined world of a squid's deep ocean habitat. It begins with a sharp, spicy bitterness from pink pepper paired with a distinct saltiness that feels both cool and substantial. The heart features an inky, resinous depth that blends incense, sea salt, and a velvety ambergris base—creating a complex, dark marine profile with a surprising delicacy. Over time, it softens into a warm, balsamic sweetness reminiscent of vanilla and benzoin, giving it a surprisingly wearable quality despite its bold initial impression. The scent is projected with modest sillage but lingers modestly, with longevity that extends into the next day. Its unisex nature and mature complexity make it ideal for ambient or introspective wear, particularly in cooler weather, offering a journey from rich tartness to elegant warmth.
