Dragonfly Edition 2021
Fragrance notes
Character
A dragonfly hovers over a rain‑kissed pond, wings catching the first pale sun. That’s the image Zoologist’s Dragonfly Edition 2021 paints from the first spritz: grapefruit and basil crackle with ginger’s spark, while rice powder softens the edges like a fine mist. The heart unfolds water lily and violet leaf – glossy, aquatic, with a whisper of jasmine and mimosa that never turns syrupy. This is a scent built on transparency. The dry down drifts into rain notes, oakmoss, and a cashmeran‑tonka warmth that feels like the earth exhaling after a spring shower.
But let’s be honest about its wingspan. With a sillage rating of 2.52, this is a skin‑close whisper, not a room‑filler. Longevity hovers around the three‑hour mark before retreating into a faint, clean woodiness. That’s fine for a fragrance that captures a fleeting moment – a dragonfly doesn’t stay still. It feels natural, almost grassy, with a synthetic aquatic edge that keeps it from being muddy. Perfect for a Sunday morning walk through wet greenery or a light‑linen day at the office.
Who should wear it? Anyone who loves airy, watery florals with a powdery backbone and doesn’t need to announce their arrival from across the room. Skip it if you crave dense amber or beast‑mode projection. This is a meditation, not a declaration. Wear it when the air is soft and the light is young.
