Penguin

7.1

Zoologist · 2024

Fresh · Aquatic · Green

Zoologist Penguin is a unisex fragrance that leans towards spring and summer, pairing a fresh, aquatic character with spice and suede. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without pushing into the room. Most voters point to leisure and daily wear, and it sits comfortably in the office too. Spring comes first, though votes spread across all four seasons. Most voters read it as masculine, yet it remains a unisex scent. It opens cool and clean with juniper berry, air and ice accords. Cistus absolute, pink pepper and saffron then bring a green, spicy warmth to the heart. In the base, musk, suede, sandalwood and Irish moss lay down a woody, faintly leathery floor, while a synthetic edge hums quietly throughout.

Hinoki in Hinoki

8.0

Scents of Wood · 2022

Fresh · Green · Spicy

Scents of Wood Hinoki in Hinoki is a fresh, green and woody unisex scent led by cypress, Texas cedar and frankincense. The notes read as one whole rather than in stages: cypress and Texas cedar build the woody frame, while frankincense adds a resinous, smoky depth. White thyme and clove leaf bring a spicy, green freshness, and moss pulls the forest feel closer to the earth. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with winter close behind, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Voters tend to call it masculine, with classic second. Mazzolari Alchemico and The Different Company Gothic Incense have a close profile.
