The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Zoologist Perfumes, Camel is an Oriental fragrance that weaves together the warmth of spices and the richness of dried fruits with woody and balsamic notes. The composition opens with dried fruits and dates, providing a sweet yet earthy introduction before transitioning into a heart of rose, myrrh, and incense. The base notes of amber, cedar, sandalwood, and musk create a deep warmth that resonates throughout the day, making it an ideal scent for those seeking both comfort and complexity.
Camel develops its full depth within an hour, so it’s best to apply it early and let it settle. A light spritz on pulse points is enough for the rich notes to unfold gradually throughout the day.
