Zoologist Perfumes Panda is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Paul Kiler. Panda opens with Green Notes, Lemon, Mandarin, and Sichuan Pepper, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Osmanthus, Lily, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Zoologist Perfumes's Panda carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Zoologist Panda (2014) is a divisive, art-house scent that demands attention with its bold, hyper-realistic green opening. It's a journey from sharp verdancy to a smoother, woody dry down, but definitely not a safe blind buy.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its powerful green opening and strong projection make it less suitable for formal or office settings, where it might be overwhelming. However, its fresh, clean character makes it great for casual wear or outdoor activities, particularly in warmer weather.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Panda plunges you headfirst into a vivid, peppery green landscape, with sharp bamboo and citrus cutting through the air. As it settles, tender osmanthus and lily emerge, softened by a wispy hint of incense. The dry down mellows into a woody, musky base of vetiver and cedar, creating an earthy, natural finish.
