DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
All fragrances
Harvest Mouse
A burst of bright bergamot and orange blossom opens with unexpected warmth, the clove adding a spiced, almost medicinal edge that suggests sunbaked grasses and tiny paws moving through a late-summer field.
Rabbit
Musk Deer
Musk Deer opens with a rush of spiced rose, its cardamom edge giving the floral a dry, almost dusty warmth.
Macaque Yuzu Edition
Chipmunk
Chipmunk opens with a quick, bright snap of pink pepper and cardamom that feels almost playful, like a small creature darting through underbrush.
Camel
Camel opens with dusty rose petals stirred into powdery frankincense, like the memory of a souk at dawn rather than the place itself.
Bee
Bee opens with a flash of bright citrus and ginger that quickly folds into something altogether warmer and stranger.
Civet
Civet opens with the raw, almost feral punch of animalic musk—unapologetic and startling in its intensity.
Squid
Squid opens with a declaration: incense and pink pepper arriving together in a combination that smells both warm and sharp, like resin heated near the coast.
Hummingbird
The hummingbird makes an apt metaphor: quick, bright, hovering between sweetness and flight.
Penguin
Sacred Scarab
Sacred Scarab opens with civet and lemon — an incongruous pairing that immediately makes the intention clear.
Koala
Honey and eucalyptus open with a combination that should feel jarring but does not — the medicinal sharpness of the eucalyptus is softened immediately by honey's warmth, and mimosa's powdery floral bridges them.
Tiger
Rhinoceros
Rhinoceros opens with a surprising jolt of boozy rum tempered by crisp lavender and sage—an immediate contrast between refinement and raw energy.
Dodo Jackfruit Edition
Moth
The opening of Moth feels like stepping into a spice merchant's storeroom at dusk—warmth radiates from cinnamon and clove while cumin and black pepper add an almost animalic edge.
Dragonfly
Dragonfly opens with a soft, powdery heliotrope that feels almost edible—almond-sweet and nostalgic—tempered by clean peony and a whisper of citrus.
Nightingale
A powder-blue dawn in fragrance form.
Chameleon
Chameleon begins with a sun-drenched blast of ylang-ylang and citrus, almost tropical in its brightness, before pink pepper adds a subtle rasp at the edges.
Cow
A pastoral fantasy that never quite touches actual farm life.
Macaque Fuji Apple Edition
Northern Cardinal
Rhinoceros Edition 2020
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Tyrannosaurus Rex arrives with the controlled aggression its name implies — black pepper, nutmeg, and bergamot cracking open before a rich floral heart takes hold: jasmine, rose, osmanthus, and ylang-ylang pressed together into something lush and almost threatening in its density.
Seahorse
Seahorse opens with a bright shock of fennel—green, anisic, almost medicinal—that gives way to a luminous core of tuberose and neroli.
Beaver Edition 2016
Beaver Edition 2016 takes a counterintuitive approach to its subject: rather than leaning into castoreum's animalic character, Chris Bartlett opens the composition with the beaver's environment — ozonic, green, the cool breath off river water.
Dragonfly Edition 2021
Bat
Bat opens in near-darkness—damp earth and bruised fruit, the sticky sweetness of overripe figs mingling with something feral.
Elephant
Magnolia opens gently — that luminous, slightly lemony-creamy floral that suggests something wide and unhurried.
Panda Edition 2017
The 2017 edition of Panda opens with a curious green-floral sweetness—osmanthus and magnolia tinged with apple, creating an almost fuzzy, edible quality that calls to mind sun-warmed fruit in a bamboo grove.
Bat Edition 2020
Bat 2020 is an exercise in controlled dissonance.
Sloth
Sloth opens with a peculiar drowsiness—violet leaf's metallic green haze meets lavender's herbal softness, creating an atmosphere both fuzzy and disorienting, like waking mid-dream.
Snowy Owl
The first breath is ice-sharp and unexpectedly tropical—spearmint frost over pale coconut, with lily of the valley lending a clean, nearly translucent brightness.
Cockatiel
Cockatiel is Zoologist's love letter to a cheerful, sociable bird — and the fragrance captures that spirit with surprising specificity.
Panda
Panda opens with a clean brightness: lemon and bamboo together suggest something verdant and airy, the citrus sharp enough to cut through without overwhelming.
Macaque
A dry, resinous opening—cedarwood dusted with frankincense—greets you immediately, far from sweet or tropical.
Beaver
Sacred Scarab Attar
Dodo
Hyrax
Hyrax announces itself with a bright, resinous jolt—saffron and pink pepper cut through the air like sunlight on dry stone.
