    Description

    Zoologist's Rhinoceros (Edition 2020) presents a robust and sophisticated scent, opening with a compelling blend of sweet rum, whiskey, and coffee that quickly settles into its distinctive character. This fragrance develops into a rich tapestry of leather, oud, and smoky red tobacco, carried along a dusty amber path with hints of patchouli and moss. It's often described as deeper, richer, and smoother than its predecessor, offering a bold and unapologetic statement for those who wear it. The dry down reveals a warm, sweet amber, making for a complex and memorable experience. Perfumer: Prin Lomros
