It is an unusual idea for a perfume, and a 10 ml decant lets you meet it carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Antarctic Air, Ice Accord, Juniper Berry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Pink Pepper, Saffron, Ciste Absolute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandalwood, Musks, Seamoss, Suede\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAir that bites\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the top are air from Antarctica, an ice accord and a juniper berry. This is a cold, crisp, slightly salty beginning with a sharp green line from the juniper. There is no sweet fruit and no warm spice yet. The brand describes it as a blast of crisp polar air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePepper, saffron and ciste\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the middle, pink pepper, saffron and ciste absolute bring a little warmth and a dry, resinous texture to the cold. Saffron is leathery and slightly metallic, ciste a balsamic, ambery shade. The brand pictures sea moss and these notes swirling together like a storm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeamoss, suede and musk\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base holds sandalwood, musks, seamoss and suede. Seamoss keeps the salty sea in the picture, suede adds a soft, dry leather, and sandalwood and musks give a gentle, creamy hold. The brand sums it up in the words icy salty sea plus suede.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry it on a cold, bright day, where the icy opening makes sense, and spray lightly. Then wear it in a warmer room to see whether the salt and suede still work. It is an Extrait at 20%, so a small amount is enough. Compare how it feels outside and inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand lists it as unisex, aquatic, aromatic, fresh and leathery. It suits people who like cool, salty, atmospheric perfumes and enjoy a perfume with a story about nature. If you prefer sweet, gourmand or floral styles, it may feel stark, which a sample will show quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Zoologist Penguin as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIcy and salty perfumes are rare, and what an ice accord or seamoss means is hard to guess from words. The brand calls it invigorating and a reminder of nature's harsh side, which may or may not match your taste. A decant filled from the original bottle lets you find out before choosing 60 ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat do I get as the sample?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 10 ml decant of Penguin, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labelled by us.
