Mr Mateu at his best

Those who are patient, will be rewarded. This comes true as from the very first emotion it brought me, I was simply smiling with joy. I have been waiting for "Cardinal | Zoologist" for months and decided not to examine notes and reviews. So my subjective description of the first "date" is as follow: at first I smelled raspberries mixed with delicate citrus. Then it took me to the meadow in the woods, in the summer, and after some (not too long) time I was surrounded by green of a general kind. Beautiful, overwhelming, spacey. Then some more dry notes come to the front: soil, maybe moss, definitely patchouli. Yet, everything warm, a kind of fragile, cherishing the air and my senses. The time stopped for me for a while, it was an incredible journey, and I just can't wait for tomorrow to be taken off on the wings of the cardinal and by imagination of Mr Mateu. A real tribute to his mastery and talent.

Fresh/sweet /peppery/green= Chic

Cardinal opens sweet rosey along with a blast of citrus, also it has this kind of grass /green and fresh pepper smell, this combination, to me, it's a spicy fresh quirky classy chic scent.

It reminded me of some of my childhood days where me and my dad used to grind red peppers in the garage, it has that fresh grinded pepper smell to it and certainly gives it a quirky fun kind of an edge vibe, just like the bird.
Mix this peppery edge with the sweet rose and oakmoss. These are the major notes I perceived so far.

Probably the last work of the late Mr. Rosendo Mateu (you will be missed )
I like this one a lot, its not ground breaking but certainly one of a kind and surprisingly pleasant.
Im really happy to have it in my collection, big zoologist fan since I like unique scents and strong personalities.

I see it fitting very well in winter/spring. Reminds me of christmas and the color red.
