Launched in 2014 by Zoologist Perfumes and crafted by Paul Kiler, Panda is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of an Asian forest. The composition opens with fresh green leaves and bamboo, paired with the zesty brightness of lemon and mandarin orange. At its heart, osmanthus and lily blend into a soft floral accord, while the base notes of musk, moss, and sandalwood create a warm earthiness that grounds the entire scent. This fragrance is neither overly sweet nor overpowering; it strikes a balance between crisp freshness and deep warmth.

Application Tips
Panda's green and woody notes bloom best close to skin. A light spritz on your pulse points allows the fragrance to develop naturally without overpowering you or others. It pairs well with casual daytime wear, where its natural warmth can be appreciated.
