{"product_id":"zoologist-camel-extrait-de-parfum-sample","title":"Zoologist Camel Extrait de Parfum Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eZoologist Camel is an Extrait de Parfum from Toronto, created by Christian Carbonnel in 2017 and listed as unisex. The brand pictures a camel crossing an endless desert with treasure for a distant market, and writes it in rose and dried fruit, incense, myrrh, amber and cinnamon over musk, civet and oud. A scent this dense and spiced is best tested before you commit to 60 ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Dried Fruits, Frankincense, Palm Date, Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Amber, Cedar, Cinnamon, Incense, Jasmine, Myrrh, Orange Blossom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Civet, Musk, Oud, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Vetiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDates and dried fruit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top pairs palm date and dried fruits with rose and frankincense, so it begins sweet, dark and a little sticky, with the dryness of resin behind. The brand speaks of dried fruit scented with rose and jasmine: fruit, but perfumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncense, myrrh, cinnamon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the heart, incense, myrrh, amber and cinnamon form a warm haze, while cedar adds dry wood and jasmine and orange blossom a floral lift. The spice is gentle rather than fiery, and the resins keep it slow and heavy, in the manner of an oriental.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMusk, oud, vanilla\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCivet, musk and oud give the animalic depth the brand describes, while vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and vetiver soften and dry it. On the brand's list civet and musk are marked as synthetic. Overall the base feels warm and unhurried, close to the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpray it on cool evenings in autumn or winter, one or two applications on chest or neck, because the base is heavy. Let it travel from the dates to the oud before you decide. A second try on a milder day shows whether it is too heavy for you outside winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sample suits people who enjoy spiced orientals with incense, resin and oud, and who like their sweetness dark rather than creamy. The brand lists it as unisex. If you want a quick, fresh or clean impression, this asks for patience and may not be the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Zoologist Camel as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrientals with oud, civet-style musk and incense are among the most skin-dependent perfumes there are, and the dried-fruit sweetness may read as rich on one person and heavy on another. A 10 ml decant lets you find out before choosing a 60 ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is in the vial?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 10 ml decant of Zoologist Camel Extrait de Parfum in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us.
