Launched in 2016 by Zoologist Perfumes, Beaver Edition 2016 is a fragrance that marries the earthy warmth of leather with aquatic freshness and smoky undertones. Created by perfumer Chris Bartlett, this composition opens with ozonic notes and lime, leading to a heart of green and woody accords before settling into a base of musk, castoreum, and dark woods. The interplay between the crisp aquatic top and the rich leather base creates an intriguing tension that speaks to both its animalic elements and its modernity.

Application Tips
Beaver Edition 2016 has a strong leather note that projects well, so one or two sprays are sufficient. The ozonic top notes fade quickly after an hour, but the musky and woody base notes continue to evolve throughout the day.
