Zoologist Perfumes Beaver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Chris Bartlett. Beaver opens with Linden Tree, Citrus, and Musk, settles into a heart of Iris, Vanilla, and Castoreum, and dries down to a base of Ash, Amber, and Cedar. Zoologist Perfumes's Beaver carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive, challenging, and not for everyone. Beaver provokes strong reactions, from 'masterpiece' to 'wet mop water'. A quirky, artistic take on animalics that demands an open mind and a willingness to embrace the strange.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate sillage and longevity mean it won't overpower, but its unique, often challenging character makes it less suitable for formal or office settings. It's best suited for casual wear, where its artistic and evocative nature can be appreciated without constraint, and could be an interesting choice for a niche date night.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Beaver opens with a surprising clean, soapy hit of linden blossom and citrus, far from the animalic depths one might expect. As it settles, an earthy, humid castoreum emerges, underpinned by smoky ash and grounding cedar. A soft iris and creamy vanilla temper the wilder elements, creating a unique aquatic musk that evokes a damp woodland scene, complete with furry textures and a subtle, intriguing sweetness.
