Seahorse

A coral-garden waltz of tuberose, seaweed and salt air. Zoologist Seahorse is a marine floral that sets Guatemalan cardamom, fennel and ambrette over clary sage, tuberose and neroli, with algae absolute, vetiver and ambergris below. Perfumer Julien Rasquinet composed it for Zoologist Perfumes, which released it in 2021.

The Story

Balmy sunlight trips across foamy turquoise waves, sending rippling haloes onto the coral below. On the lagoon floor, anemone and seaweed sway in unison, limbs pumping to the rhythm of the current, while a group of seahorses gazes shyly on from among the coral branches. The pulsating beat calls to them and two pair off, tails entwined in a delicate waltz. Soon their passion is spent, but the memory of the dance lives on, for the male seahorse's pouch tenderly cradles a precious clutch of eggs. Zoologist Seahorse invites you to wade through a vibrant coral garden. This unisex scent turns expectation on its head with surprising couplets such as tuberose and seaweed, sage and neroli, and fennel and vetiver, a delightful melody that sweeps you away on a wave of joy and abandon.
