Zoologist Perfumes Tyrannosaurus Rex is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Antonio Gardoni. Tyrannosaurus Rex opens with Bergamot, Neroli, Pepper, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cade, Resins, Leather, and Cedar. Zoologist Perfumes's Tyrannosaurus Rex carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one is truly divisive. A monstrously potent blend that provokes extreme reactions, Tyrannosaurus Rex by Zoologist is an unwearable masterpiece for some, and a terrifying assault on the senses for others. Definitely not for the faint of heart.

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:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Its nuclear sillage and extreme longevity make it highly unsuitable for confined spaces like the office or formal events. Reviews consistently highlight its overpowering nature, suggesting it's best worn outdoors or in situations where startling others is part of the appeal.

Declarable allergens

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 primeval forest, smouldering and sharp, where fiercely aromatic fir resin and biting black pepper ignite the air. A heart of heady florals like champaca and ylang-ylang struggles to bloom beneath a heavy canopy of smoky Cade and animalic civet. The base grounds this brutal landscape in deep, resinous woods, leather, and a hint of vanilla-laced incense, painting a picture of ancient power and utter chaos.
