Zoologist Perfumes Hyrax is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Sven Pritzkoleit. Hyrax opens with Rose, Pink Pepper, Saffron, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Whisky, Styrax, and Hyraceum, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Zoologist Perfumes's Hyrax carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

Hyrax is a divisive beast of a fragrance, unapologetically animalic and not for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, it's an addictive masterpiece that defies convention. Tread carefully, but don't shy away from this olfactory adventure.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

With its beast-mode projection and strong, polarising animalic notes, this is absolutely not an office scent. It's too challenging for most dates, but could be worn casually if you're feeling adventurous and don't mind turning heads.

About

This one opens with a perplexing blend of sharp, peppery rose and elemi, quickly evolving into a potent animalic heart. Expect a heady mix of musky hyraceum, civet, and castoreum, underscored by a boozy whisper of whisky and earthy styrax. The dry down mellows into a long-lasting, warm embrace of amber, sandalwood, and patchouli, often described as a surprisingly cozy, dirty leather.
