Zoologist Perfumes Penguin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Chiaki Nomura. Penguin opens with Ice, Juniper, and Ozonic Notes, settles into a heart of Pink Pepper, Saffron, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Suede, Musk, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. Zoologist Perfumes's Penguin carries a Statement verdict, a ozonic-led wear.

Prepare for extreme polarising views; this either nails the 'cold' brief in an artistic, captivating way, or it's just a strange, synthetic mess. It's a challenging wear for many, but if you're seeking true niche artistry, this could be your new obsession.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its potent 'ice' opening and pronounced musky-ozonic character make it a bit much for a conservative office. However, its uniqueness and intriguing scent profile can be quite captivating for a date, offering a sophisticated edge. Though many find it wearable, its artistic, polar theme makes it less of an everyday casual reach.

About

Penguin plunges you into an icy blast of ozonic juniper, sharp and invigorating as a winter gale. As the chill subsides, a unique blend of pink pepper and saffron emerges, adding a subtle, almost melancholy warmth. The dry down is an unexpected embrace of soft suede, earthy oakmoss, and clean musk, like finding shelter in a frozen landscape. It’s a sensory journey from brisk Antarctic air to a cozy, albeit cool, hideaway.
