Zoologist
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
A bracing eucalyptus-menthol blast hits like breathing in sharply at a spa, immediately softened by honeyed mimosa that adds an almost peachy warmth. Within minutes, the menthol's cooling effect dominates, creating that peculiar sensation of tasting mint whilst smelling flowers.
Black tea emerges with quiet authority, its tannins creating a subtle dryness that anchors the honeyed florals. Frankincense and spiced geranium bloom through the base, transforming the composition from something herbaceous into something more contemplative and incensed—less "natural" and more "thoughtfully composed."
Sandalwood and oakmoss establish themselves as the core, creating a woody-earthy skin scent with amber providing soft cushioning and vanilla adding a whisper of creamy warmth. The smokiness becomes more pronounced, the spices settling into the background, leaving something that smells vaguely like an old library touched by faint incense smoke.
Zoologist Koala emerges as a study in uncomfortable proximity—the kind of fragrance that smells less like a cuddly eucalyptus fantasy and more like standing too close to something genuinely feral. Spyros Drosopoulos has crafted something that prioritises authenticity over sentimentality, and that's precisely where its intrigue lies.
The eucalyptus-menthol opening is medicinal and sharp, but honey tempers the herbaceous bite with a gentle sweetness that prevents this from becoming pure vapour rub. As the composition settles, black tea introduces a dusty, slightly astringent character that plays beautifully against the honeyed mimosa—think of sitting in a sun-drenched drawing room where someone's been brewing strong Assam whilst bowls of honeyed nuts sit on the side table. Frankincense and geranium add a spiced-floral counterpoint that stops the fragrance from becoming too green or medicated.
