Dragonfly

I had the full set of samples from this line and on first go round, this was my favourite. Opens with grenadine and marzipan, then very airy heliotrope. Fresh, airy, beautiful. Ideal for summer; skews feminine. On further wearing, it was marred for me by a vanilla dry down - vanilla is just not my personal taste, I wanted it to stay ethereal rather than turn gourmand. Still lovely; I rated at 7/10. I don't think I will purchase but I will enjoy finishing the sample.

Dragonfly is light and airy, cool, feminine. Not over the top on the aquatic notes. An inoffensive & likable scent from Zoologist.

This is a lot less watery/aquatic and green than I thought it would be. On my skin Dragonfly is more a slightly powdery/dusty, milky and misty scent, a scent that makes me think of lavender coloured morning twilight. It's beautiful, but in a completely different way than I expected. The heliotrope note is very strong on my skin, and so is the rice. Together they make a smell that reminds me of soft, sweet floral almond milk - which I guess is what creates that misty atmosphere. And this nutty, milky floral smell lasts a really long time on me. To me this is more an intellectual and conceptual scent than an actual replica of a place/a landscape. Dragonfly contains notes that creates images in my mind, images of an early morning by a pond or a lake, the light is dim and cool, there is a mist floating just above the water and in between the trees - but the scent doesn't smell photorealistically like dewy grass, woods and actual water. It smells more like a time of day (morning), a light phenomenon (twilight), a colour (cool lavender) and a weather phenomenon (mist) - and all these things together makes the mind create a picture of a landscape that matches the place dragonflies hatch and live. It's genious and a real work of art. The scent is soft, calming and sensual in a very innocent and charming way. It smells very harmonious and tranquil. Towards the drydown the milky, misty almond notes and the floral part of the scent takes a step back and leaves room for a very pleasant vanilla (it's probably a part of that amber accord). Sillage is medium to strong, and longevity is very good. On my skin this lasts 8-10 hours. I want a bottle! <3

opens with a burst of photorealistic basil and tart grapefruit, smells very green and very dewey. brings up hints of cut grass or flowers after a rain. all of these are held up by a veritable selection of mosses, woods, and florals. it dries down in to a blanket of rain and musk, creating a perfect water-themed scent: truly that of a dragonfly in a dense rainy forest. colors: deep emerald green, dark lilac, sapphire blue, soft pink

Where can I buy a bottle of Dragonfly original? My bottle is almost gone and its my favourite scent. 💜
