Zoologist Perfumes Rhinoceros Edition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Prin Lomros. Rhinoceros Edition opens with Whisky, Pink Pepper, Coffee, and Basil, settles into a heart of Leather, Ylang-Ylang, Tobacco, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Amber, Oud, and Patchouli. Zoologist Perfumes's Rhinoceros Edition carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive and unapologetically bold, Rhinoceros (2020) isn't for the faint of heart. Expect a beastly blend of booze, tobacco, and earthy notes that demands attention, though some found it a bit too challenging and

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.

Formal

With its nuclear longevity and monstrous projection, this fragrance is far too potent for the office or casual daytime wear. It shines in more intimate, curated settings like a date or formal evening event where its bold character can make a statement without overwhelming. Reviewers consistently note its beastly performance, suggesting its strength is best reserved for deliberate occasions.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Rhinoceros charges forth with a commanding blend of boozy rum and whisky, spiced by pink pepper and a hint of fresh basil. The heart plunges into a rugged, leathery embrace, softened by ylang-ylang and grounded by smoky incense, hay, and dry tobacco. As it settles, a deep, earthy base of patchouli, oakmoss, and mysterious cypriol oil emerges, entwined with warm amber and a primal oud. This is a scent that evokes worn leather, a smoky lounge, and the untamed wild all at once.
