Zoologist Perfumes Camel is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Christian Carbonnel. Camel opens with Date, Rose, Frankincense, and Dried Fruits, settles into a heart of Amber, Orange Blossom, Cedar, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Civet. Zoologist Perfumes's Camel carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Camel is a divisive beast: some say it's an evocative masterpiece taking you to ancient souks, while others find its animalic notes too challenging. It's a complex journey not for the faint-hearted, but for many, it's a truly stunning, luxurious experience.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

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

An opulent odyssey unfolds with a rich opening of frankincense, dried fruits, and dates, hinting at boozy sweetness. As it settles, a heart of warm cinnamon, amber, and deep resins emerges, laced with subtle florals like jasmine and rose. The base grounds the composition in a dark, dry animalic civet, melding with woody nuances to create a scent that is both exotic and deeply sensual. It's a vivid, multi-layered narrative of spice and mystique.
