Seahorse
Seahorse by Zoologist is an unisex extrait de parfum from 2021 in the niche price tier. It opens with cardamom, fennel and ambrette seed, moves into clary sage, tuberose and neroli and dries down to seaweed, vetiver and ambergris. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Fennel Sweet anise with a green bite. Softer than star anise.
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
Heart
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
Dry-down
- Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
