"Zoologist Penguin opens with saffron caught upon a salty blast of crisp antarctic air. Against the cool desolation, anticipation glimmers as lively aromas of pink pepper and sea moss swirl over musks, suede and sandalwood. Brace yourself for a vibrant scent that Is always invigorating, a reminder of nature’s harsh reality in a welcome blast."
Fragrantica - "Does smell like gin in the most pleasing way. Manages to be cold / refreshing without being bracing. The saffron is there. The leather and moss show up eventually. Smells ancient, the way the earth must have smelled when it was brand new. Completely intriguing yet wearable. Leans masc."
Fragrantica - "When I first sprayed this, I got a strong whiff of soap, citrus, and what seemed like calone to me. (Almost like irish spring soap and calone, but not as angry) It did give off icy vibes. I love the freshness of this. In a bit is cooled down to a soapy freshness that could be thought of as cold, icy. I did not get any of the middle notes, but I am starting to feel the moss. This is really nice. I am waiting to see what the final dry down will be...This stuff is endless. It lasted over 10 hours. Though it gets very soft near the end. (you need to stick your nose close to get any..) I got that fresh soap thing and sandalwood. It was very lovely on the dry down."
Fragrantica - "the most elegant fragrance from zoologist in my opinion, Don't know how they do it but this actuallys smells like freezing cold canadian air with some sea moss, juniper berry and the slightest bit of pink pepper"
Fragrantica - "This smells almost exactly like a gin I got from the Isle of Harris which was infused with sea kelp. It spilt all over my clothes while in transit and I wasn't even bothered because it smelt so good."
Fragrantica - "Penguin has an incredible blast of this cold artic air, refreshing but also empty and inhospitable. It is clean and smells exactly like a cold icy cave with a touch of sweet cold breeze throughout it. I envision a sort of icy cave next to the sea in Antarctica, or that cave in Hoth where Luke slays the Wampa."
