Zoologist Perfumes Dragonfly Edition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Céline Barel. Dragonfly Edition opens with Angelica, Rice, Grapefruit, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Water Lily, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Rain, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Zoologist Perfumes's Dragonfly Edition carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Dragonfly is Zoologist's "safe" scent, though 'safe' is a divisive term here. Some find it a wonderfully atmospheric aquatic floral, others a generic disappointment that fails to live up to the brand's adventurous reputation. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with many noting its departure from the original formulation.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and subtle nature makes it highly appropriate for casual wear and daily use. Although it is generally perceived as soft and polite, its noticeable aquatic and ozonic character, which some find too strong, slightly lowers its suitability for formal settings or intimate dates.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Imagine a lush, vibrant pond, brimming with life after a spring rain. Dragonfly opens with a sharp, fresh burst of grapefruit and ginger, underscored by aromatic basil. This quickly eases into a watery floral heart, where delicate water lily, violet leaf, and jasmine intertwine with subtly powdery orris. The base grounds the composition with earthy vetiver and oakmoss, softened by cashmeran and a hint of sweet benzoin, capturing the scent of damp earth and verdant greenery.
