Tame giant octopus

After I was allowed to test already 13 zoologist fragrances and already 2 moved in with me, I dedicate myself today to the octopus.

At the beginning it must be said that I am not a fan of aquatic fragrances. This one, however, interested me so much because of his reviews that I had to test it.

Regarding the presentation of the flacon, it has to be said that zoologists really do show an above-average quality here, which is naturally also reflected in the price. With the squid flacon, "Pirates of the Caribbean" vibes somehow come back to me. Even though Davy Jones doesn't look a bit like the picture, I still have to think about it.

On to what you're probably all here for. The scent!
After the first spray I take a lot of incense, pepper, salty notes and a shot of ink was. The scent is anything but an unpleasant, fishy aquat. No!
It brings a very pleasant sweetness to my nose and the incense keeps all notes, which could become unpleasant when overdosed, very well in check.
The benzoin and ambergris as a base note naturally ensure that animalism is not neglected. For me, however, it is definitely not an animal scent, as it has absolutely no smell of a fish market or similar.

Squid is with Camel one of the most portable zoologists, because all notes are perfectly matched. It remains salty throughout, but not obtrusively salty. Squid is a very mystical fragrance, with the theme more than perfectly realized. It smells like sea.
Not according to summer, sun, beach-sea (as for example Soleil Blanc does). But like the sea from "Pirates of the Caribbean". The octopus rises out of the sea and pulls the ship and crew with it.
Because of the ink, he reminds me while wearing it again and again of my first tattoo appointment and what fear I had to put under the needle.

I had Oud Mineralè on my wish list at the beginning and I had assumed that the two would be similar. After my test I can say that there are 2 completely different fragrances that have nothing in common. While Oud Mineralé for me was more of a salty, algy wave with a mild breeze, Squid is a warm, spicy aquat that knows how to play out its strengths and convinced me from the first second on.

The shelf life is about 6-7 hours and the sillage is absolutely ok. He is not an absolute breaker who knows how to put others in their place, but you will be noticed. Alone already by the unique scent composition.

In conclusion, Squid is really very complex, but this does not mean that it is not something for beginners. Quite the opposite. The fragrance is a perfect introduction to the animal house from Canada. Definitely test it!

Thanks a lot for reading!
