Seahorse

Zoologist's newest is a surreal snorkeling jaunt that begins at the bottom of the reef with the weirdest lunch of buttered seaweed on rye toast, goes on to examine some herbal indolic anemones, then drifts ashore on pleasant low tide algae funk. Seems a little gimmicky--a fun excursion, but I don't want to smell like it. Lasts minutes on skin, but like sand, is impossible to get out of clothes.

Visited Victor Wong's brand new store in Toronto today and had the pleasure of smelling this. Seahorse shares little similarities with Squid. It's noticeably less oceanic and aquatic than Squid, and more multifaceted with a lovely creamy and nutty note that is attributed to the top notes. The floral notes are easily detectable as the fragrance progresses to the mid stage. The neroli and tuberose are particularly prominent which give it a powdery and soapy texture in the early dry down. The ambergris is the only aspect Seahorse shares with Squid, and in a smaller dose than the latter. It's nowhere near as "inky" as Squid. The late stage of the dry down is predominantly green with light aquatic trails with the vetiver and algae. In the context of Zoologist's lineup, if Squid invokes the depth and darkness of the deep sea, Seahorse is more transportive to the colorful and bright coral reefs. A worthy addition to the lineup. As far as performance goes, I did a few sprays on my arm and it's still detectable 7 hours after application. P.S. Everyone should visit the Zoologist boutique in Toronto once it is open to public. Victor is the sweetest man and the atmosphere of the boutique perfectly captures Zoologist's image as an innovative sweetheart in the worldwide fragrance community.

Very unique. I smell a really awesome marine note, but I also smell hairspray.

I bought a bottle last year after loving the sample I got so much. It's one of my favourite hot weather fragrances. I just had a vacation in Aruba last week, and when I got to the beach, all I thought wow, this beach smells like Seahorse.

I can smell the fennel mixed with aquatic notes. I never smelled fennel in a perfume before so that was surprising. Kind of strong for an aquatic and aromatic perfume. Not as fresh as I though it was. The fennel and cardamom spice differentiates that perfume from other aquatic perfumes I've smelled before for sure. Definitely mostly masculine. Longevity is amazing. So far it's a great perfume, very innovative in my opinion. It's just not something I would wear myself.
