Sloth

So rarely I get a perfume that makes me go WHAT WHY WAIT WTF. That's one of those. I mean, I'm... I'm lost for words. I can't put it into sentences. This is so different, so strange. That acai chamomile - it really is present here a lot. I couldn't imagine before Sloth something so juicy, yet so niche, earthy, somewhat inedible? It's joined by an earthy tone but it's not damp enough to be disgusting, yet enough to be peculiar, strange, alluring. I could never imagine smelling a mushroom note with acai and chamomile in a serious, not a joke composition and going wow, I need it. I love it. This is a strong chamomile, acai, mountain-like herbal and earthy composition. It is a photorealistic forest floor smell. Herbal, camphorous, juicy berry, damp, earthy... The way the acai joins the Nard and herbals ot reminds me of the Iceland Moss with currants candy you suck on to protect the throat when you speak a lot at work or when you cough. Do not blind buy this - you might think the mushroom note is damp and disgusting. You might think the herbals remind you of ipecac or some different syrup. You might think it smells of old people. But please, test it as I've tested at least 700 fragrances in my life and never felt anything like this. Unisex, not for winter as it might die soon. Requires some boldness or alternative look to rock it especially that After 1-2 House it has an armpit note for real

Zoologist is a house that needs to be sampled before buying. There are no safe blind buys with the house. This was one that I thought for sure I would love from the notes, I was wrong. This one is just stinky in a very weird way and I personally couldn't find any part of it that I liked. Not a problem, love the house as a whole and will keep sampling.

Compared to Fredrick Malle, Mancera, or Tom Ford, Zoologist doesn’t hold a candle! Anyone on here who claims otherwise is a sucker for gimmicky marketing. I COULD NOT stand the opening.? The dry down after 40 minutes was much more pleasant. Fruity without being typical or super sweet. Think “farmers market produce”.

When I smelled this on paper I thought I liked this. On my skin however it was way to overwhelming for me. I imagine being in a jungle with decaying fruit and unripe fruits around me at the same time. After the dry down I started smelling the mushrooms note as well. It all was just to much for me so I cleaned it off. It however does portray a Sloth quite well.

OK I am a newbie here, and decided to lend my voice (Take it as you may. All people's bodies, scent detections and likes are different.) I love fragrance!! All kinds. Though I do dislike the teen bubble gum type fragrances you find in the main stream world. (It is really hard to find unique scents where I live) I read a few reviews about this brand and sprung for a few samples. When I first put it on..It was hmmm..a lot going on here. I could not tell if it was musky, swampy, green. I did get that weird animal (pee) smell briefly, but it moved on from there. It has been about 2 hours and now I am getting a feel of walking into one of those Greenhouse Conservatories that specialize in jungle/tropical plants. I get a lot of green and a little swamp water (kinda of a musk wet note) I like it, but I have a bunch of others to try before I spring for any bottles, though this probably won't be one. I am VERY glad I bought samples for this. Not a blind buy by any means. A little later, I get a lot of Mint and damp earth. Update I did buy a bottle, and I am glad. The sample was not exactly what the bottle presents to me. I still get the jungle feel, but I also get the musk and vanilla. It is different from the other musk/vanilla fragrances I have. This is unique and is very nice on me
