The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Zoologist Perfumes, Dodo Edition 2020 is crafted by the renowned perfumer Yves Cassar. This fragrance combines fresh and spicy accords with a fruity heart, creating an intriguing contrast between its zesty top notes and warm base. The composition begins with rosemary and petitgrain, followed by bergamot and pink pepper, which give way to black currant and pineapple. Clary sage and cardamom add depth, while oakmoss and musk provide a grounding finish. Dodo Edition 2020 is a unisex scent that captures the essence of nature’s complexity.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to capture the full range from the zesty top notes down to the warm base. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear as it balances freshness with warmth without overpowering the wearer.
