Description
Zoologist Seahorse opens with a surprising blend of fresh fennel, aromatic cardamom, and a soft, musky ambrette, immediately evoking a sense of an underwater lagoon. As it develops, a delicate floral heart emerges with tuberose, clary sage, and neroli, creating a sparkling, almost effervescent quality that feels like sunlight dancing on water. The fragrance settles into a unique base of marine algae, a subtle ambergris accord, and earthy vetiver, providing a realistic aquatic depth that is both intriguing and comforting. This scent manages to be both playful and sophisticated, capturing the serene yet vibrant essence of a coral garden. Perfumer: Julien Rasquinet
