Zoologist Squid
Inspiration
Dusk at the waterline. The sea is slate-blue, the horizon a thin blade of light. A shadow moves beneath the surface; a cloud blooms — ink unfurling like velvet in saltwater. Squid bottles that quiet drama. It sparks with pink pepper and incense, warmed by solar salicylates that feel like sun fading on skin. Then comes the hush: a black ink accord and salty tide that read as mineral, tenderly bitter, almost edible — steadied by opoponax, resinous and amber-lit. As the tide settles, ambergris, benzoin and musks glow like wet stones catching the last light. Not a beach postcard, but a nocturne: elegant, melancholic, beautifully enigmatic.

A sea-nocturne with polish. The peppered incense opening feels airy yet atmospheric; the inky-salty heart is addictive and original; the ambergris/benzoin base gives a smooth, lasting glow. A refined choice for lovers of modern, moody aquatics.
