Toucan
Toucan by Zoologist is an unisex parfum from 2026 in the niche price tier. It opens with papaya, sweet orange, lime and coconut, moves into jasmine, orange blossom, ylang-ylang and geranium and dries down to benzoin, sandalwood, tonka bean, clove and vanilla. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Papaya Soft tropical flesh, musky and a little sulphurous.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Dry-down
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
