Description

Zoologist's Beaver Maple Edition captures the essence of spring's awakening, blending fresh florals with the delightful sweetness of cocoa-infused maple syrup. This fragrance opens with an airy, luminous quality from water lily, carrot, and neroli, reminiscent of fresh spring blossoms. As it develops, a distinctive maple accord emerges, woven with the richness of vetiver and cedarwood, creating a grounded yet fresh feel. The scent settles into a cozy, lingering finish of vanilla, cocoa shell, and a reimagined castoreum, supported by patchouli and sandalwood, offering warmth with hidden depths. This limited edition reinvents the original Beaver with a focus on the rich sweetness of maple, seamlessly integrated into a warm base that feels both rugged and refined. Perfumer: Pascal Gaurin
