The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Olm by Zoologist Perfumes is a Woody Aquatic fragrance for women and men, launched in 2025 and crafted by Spyros Drosopoulos. This composition opens with an aquatic freshness that feels like the cool mist of a mountain stream, before settling into a warm musky base layered with woody notes and powdery amber. The result is a scent that balances crisp clarity with enveloping comfort, much like the feeling of standing at the edge of a forest, where fresh air meets earthy warmth.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are enough — the aquatic top notes evaporate quickly but leave behind a lingering warmth from the musky and woody base. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh yet comforting scent that evolves over time.
