The somewhat mainstream but also disappointing Zoologist
My third Zoologist and I have to say that this house goes to extremes and it seems that when they create something, they do it right, regardless of whether it's mainstream or appealing to the masses, the brand doesn't seem to care Of course, this is very special, but you can tell and I have to say that every fragrance I have tested from the house so far has been a real experience, except this one! Since Penguin is the latest or most recent release from the house, I hope they don't go in a different direction now than I remember.
Because for me, Zoologist stands for bold paths and very interesting and damn special fragrances.
Many will not like them, but people will want to experience them and only a few will probably buy them.
But of course you also have to look at the financial side and if a house doesn't sell any products, well then the chance of survival in this mass of fragrances that are being thrown onto the market is difficult.
So I also understand this creation on the one hand.
I didn't explicitly look for the sample but received it as a bonus, but I was still curious to see what the company would come up with again and what experience would hit me this time.
The beginning is slightly spicy and above all fresh and aquatic. The description of the notes lists air and ice accords and that's very apt. It really reminds me of a cold morning in front of the Igloo :-D
Of course, the cold is missing, but the impression still exists due to the fresh and aquatic notes with the slightly spicy nuance.
However, I also have faint memories of Cool Water Eau de Toilette but I'm not so sure anymore, as this fragrance hasn't been under my nose for a very long time.
Shortly after the fresh start, a slight peppery note is added and it also becomes more mossy.
So views actually a good fragrance but not as challenging as you know it from the house and since such fragrances are also not my DNA I would say the fragrance is good but just not mine.
Nevertheless, I think it will appeal to more people than others from the house.
After about 10min. a smokiness joins in, I guess it's the musk paired with a minimal woodiness.
The progression remains the same, it just balances itself out better and becomes softer but stays that way until the end.
The suede note hardly plays a role, but drydown is only minimally, but really only minimally perceptible in the background.
On the one hand good, because suede is not my thing at all and on the other hand a pity because it would give the fragrance that certain "experience", which in turn would suit the house.
Durability and sillage is solid! Very good for a fresh aquatic fragrance.
But as I said above, unfortunately not my DNA at all.

A slightly different summer fragrance
I am currently in the process of testing all the fragrances from Sora Dora and I have to say that Sora Dora really do a good job
Of course there are fragrances whose direction you don't like, but the bottom line is that the quality...
