Launched in 2017 by Zoologist Perfumes and crafted by Juan Perez, Dragonfly is a chypre floral fragrance that encapsulates the essence of an invigorating rain shower. The composition opens with aldehydes and rain notes, evoking the freshness of falling droplets on earth, before transitioning into a heart of heliotrope, peony, lemon, and lotus. This vibrant middle leads to a base of musk, papyrus, oakmoss, sandalwood, and amber, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both airy and grounded.
