The story behind the bottle.
Tiger by Zoologist Perfumes was launched in 2023 and is the creation of perfumer Cristiano Canali. This Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men captures the essence of a powerful, primal force — the Tiger itself. The composition opens with kumquat and saffron, offering a bright yet earthy contrast that quickly gives way to cardamom and carrot seeds. At its heart, incense and ambrette create an aromatic warmth, while jasmine sambac adds a touch of floral depth. As it settles, vetiver and ebony tree lend a woody, leathery base, with papyrus and suede rounding out the earthy, musky finish.
Tiger's aromatic top notes are bright but fleeting, so apply two sprays to ensure the warm spicy heart and woody base have time to develop fully. This fragrance is best for daytime wear; its earthy complexity pairs well with a work environment that calls for both confidence and subtlety.
