Salt and sweetness sit side by side, and that is what makes it moody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the ambergris binds\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the brand puts it, ambergris holds the composition together, with benzoin as a soft sweet resin and musk for a clean, skin-like finish. The brand marks ambergris and musk as synthetic notes. In the base, the sea fades into something warm and softly salty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear the decant on skin on an autumn or winter evening, the setting the tags suggest, and allow time for the ink and salt accords to show themselves. A sea theme can feel very different from person to person, so wear it on a second occasion as well, indoors and out, before you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is unisex, for people who like perfumes with a story and an unusual subject, and who find sea scents more interesting dark and salty than fresh and clean. Evenings out, gallery openings and autumn walks along the coast are its natural settings. If you want a bright summer aquatic, look elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Zoologist Squid as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eZoologist names every perfume after an animal and prints the perfumer's name on the box, here Céline Barel. A sweet ink accord next to salt is a rare mix, and you cannot know your reaction to it from a description. A decant filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us shows it first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it a summer perfume because of the sea theme?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot really. The sea here is dark: ink, brine, incense and ambergris. The tags point to autumn and winter and to evenings, so test it in cooler weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs the ambergris real?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand marks ambergris and musk in this perfume as synthetic notes.
