Tiger
Tiger by Zoologist is an unisex extrait de parfum from 2023 in the niche price tier. It opens with cardamom and saffron, moves into sambac jasmine, incense and suede and dries down to vetiver, ebony, papyrus and ambrette seed. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Ebony Dense, dry and dark. Wood with no sweetness to it.
- Papyrus Dry, smoky, papery wood. Vetiver's quieter cousin.
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
