Wow! A cool, camphor explosion right off the top. After about 15 minutes it transitions into a green, wet jungle.
Two hours in and it gets a hint of smokiness and the touch of cannabis comes out. Twelve hours later and I still smell it in my skin. Just one spray! Done of the listed notes don't seem to show up on me (eg tea, pomelo) which is too bad but those that do appear are a very interesting symphony of scent. If I wasn't limiting myself to only two Zoologist fragrances this year then this one would be on my list!

I dig the uniqueness of this fragrance. I get clay, smoke and a touch of vanilla, which grows more in the drydown. If it were easier for me to get ahold of Imaginary Authors in Canada then I'd really consider buying this. One of the other things holding me back is it might be too similar to Atelier Cologne Vanilla Insensee, which I have in my collection. But definitely different in it's smokiness. If you're looking for a unique vanilla and enjoy smoky scents, give this one a sniff!

I love birds, and parrots in particular, so I was very excited to try Zoologist Cockatiel.
It opens like fruit cocktail, soft and sweet. I had no idea I liked rhubarb in fragrance, but here we are. Pretty quickly on the drydown I get a delicate wood. I've never met a cockatiel, but I can imagine how the scent is inspired by them. The powdery element is definitely bird-y. My pet lovebird has a lovely powdery smell so I can get this connection.
Even though I'm not a fan of feminine-leaning fragrances this one is still on my perfume wishlist.

I haven't seen this said by many other reviews, but I get apples and fresh fruit at first spray. It pretty quickly turns into warm spice, and as the dry down happens I'm getting vibes of TF Tobacco Vanille. Obviously it's a different fragrance, but they're smelling like cousins once removed to me. Maybe if Kilian AS and TF Tobacco Vanille had a baby? I tend to like unisex or more masculine-leaning fragrances, and this one is going in my list of wants. It is SO expensive, though, that the only way I could get this is if I had a deep discount or had done fantastic monetary windfall.

I get fresh spicy, I get creamy, I get some depth and interesting changes in the dry down, but it's still not for me. It may be the mid notes of white floral, which I know isn't my thing so ymmv. I don't get the citrus at the top. The woods come out later, bit still not enough to convince me. Ultimately this simply isn't for me, but for those who like white floral this may be worth giving a sniff.
