Seahorse

I can say that it is SO fun. It associates me with a water fairy. No, not a little mermaid, but a water fairy who talks to frogs and slides on the water, collecting dew in her hand. Who don't do such a thing as direct harm, but they have their own concept of fun. It is so chaotically good. As if you know the legend that "at 5:00 when the sun starts to rise, if you come to the lake you can see fairies dancing on it. But don't call out to them, don't scare them and hold a shell in your hand, if they see you, exchange your life for this shell, otherwise they will take you to their kingdom". It smells of forgotten nostalgia, it smells like a morning when you are getting ready for school and there is dew and fog outside. Y2k aesthetics fit right in here. It smells just that pixie which if it likes you, it will bring shells, pearls and corals. It smells like lakes, this sand, from which you build a castle in childhood, dirty water in the mud. This spot of algae that floats in front of you and when you wet your feet you touch these fluffy algae. It smells like a vacation with your parent. Carefree, without adult problems, and with an inflatable circle you will splash in the water like a child and you don’t care that it is not crystal clear, and there is your dad who cut you a watermelon waiting for you on the beach. It smells of dreams, of infantilism , but very light, like a sea breeze, it smells of an aquarium, it smells of a pebble covered with algae by a pond. It smells of sparkles, as if you see the world through the eyes of a child, bright, loud, everything sparkles and shines, when your soft toys are friends with each other, and a spider cannot be killed, because it has babies waiting for it. It smells of those key chains that had water with colored oil inside, and a dolphin was swimming there. A pool that was washed with bleach. It smells like a hotel room on vacation with air conditioning, and you, having the entire population of Bikini Bottom on you, go to wash it off in the shower. Or you drive away from the lake also smelly, and the air conditioner is blowing in the car. Shallow water, exactly where a child will reach to show his parents a crab, so that his mother turns blue from the sight of it and says "ugh, put it down and don't drag that crap to me", shells, some corals and when you dive in the sea, and the sun breaks through the water and you see the whole underwater world with fish. I see it on a girl who really wants to stand out. Extravagant, sharp hairstyles or pixie cut. Lots of downright BRIGHT, maybe even NEON colors and by nature sharp on the tongue and completely on her wave but is very nice and smiley. Recently I was walking on Kyiv city centre and there was a girl with a fly agaric hat and very short but curly hair. Here it is here too. This is not about the forest aroma, but about water. The collage i made for this one! https://i.postimg.cc/v8rkSMH7/Fun-Pic-20250713-215803512.jpg i would give it 9.3/10 It is not really my vibe as well and for someone it might be a cucumber salad. For me it is more like watermelon green part but it is not overpowering and something that i cannot stop hearing. I am SO scared of aquatics actually because they all smell like my dad`s shaving foam. Nasomato - Megamare was the same nightmare to me. So this one is completely different and actually smells like sea. If i was to describe why is there a seahorse i would say that its crystal clear shallow water where you can dive and you have rays of sun showing you all those little creatures out there. Or like you know an aquarium with seahorses and exotic fishes. But mind you i have never been to the sea so for me its lake scent and more about an experience.

Introduction: As many of you can guess, this turquoise beauty from Zoologist Perfumes carries the name of the adorable horse-like fish creature called Seahorse. They come in all kind of shapes and forms but none as handsome as our protagonist Julius Seahorse. A very cute Roman like figure that shines with wisdom. We follow him in steps throughout unknown shallow waters of corral reefs, seagrass beds, and estuaries where sweet water meets salty seas. Ah, a lifelong vacation. Seahorses are most often seen in the tropical areas where the sun shines bright and the waters are made salty crystal clear turquoise liquid. How does it smell?: Like a dream. Julien yet again does not know how to disappoint. A composition full of contrasts that he magically tied up together to compliment each other. And, of course, to resemble the habitat of this small horsy. The opening is the key, an instant teleportation to the shallow depths of tropical islands. A walk trough the sand next to the costal shore being struck by the sea breeze. But not the calon breeze. It does not feel that way. A very unique and odd note plays the centerpiece in the opening: fennel. It gives off a complex sea water vibe that's sweet and salty at the same time. Slightly vegetal and green. Spiced up with green fresh cardamom and wrapped in Ambrette seeds, giving it the airy, musky, cloud like feeling. Now that he lured us in, it's time to meet his family, his surroundings, his lifestyle. White flowers play a key role in the hearth of the process. They represent the playful nature of all the life that goes on in these waters. They are not soapy, they are not pungent, nothing here strikes out. The flowers are soft, gentle, bright, smile inducing. Everything is abstracted with no sharp edges where not intended. Rather than that, I get the feeling that everything that has been used to create this composition is to prolong the initial experience and blast of freshness. The seams are vague, non-present. But the notes do interchange. The fennel opening gets carried on by vetiver and it's green, vegetal facets, the sea breeze airiness of the ambrette is swapped with cloudy salty ambergris. And then the composition is just deepened with sea algae accord that lets us know that we have arrived. Performanse: We here in the house have luck with it. Everyone loves to wear it. And once it's on the skin, we all are aware of it. It starts off strong, spreading through the room. After a few minutes it settles and creates an aura around you arms length. After 1-2h it gets much closer to the skin, where it stays for the next 8-10h. So the longevity is amazing for such a light, natural smelling scent. Who is for?: Anyone really. It does not have any boundaries, you just have to like it. It garnishes compliments. It's easy going. From the green aspect one might suggest is masculine leaning. But from my experience, on a woman's skin it transforms into more gentle floral type of scent. And occasions are also on your freedom of choice. As I said, you can only get positive reactions. Final verdict: One might say it's linear, one dimensional. But don't get fooled, those who seek will see the magic. A fantastic summertime scent that became my "dumb reach" over the scorching days. But now that the cold days arrived, I will keep using it because it takes a different cozy form that also works. So artistic, so realistic, so noteworthy, and yet so wearable. That right there is pure bliss. Give it a try and thank me later 😉.

First whiff of this and its like jesus christ. This smells very good, blew me away. Like squid, the description of this is wrong. Seahorse is also gourmand marine. The amber notes are FAR MORE pronounced than the votes suggest which is what made me hesitant to get this but boy are they wrong. This scent is has the algae and the ambergris VERY pronounced throughout this scent's life. Maybe its because of the climate im in which is equatorial, so one hot temperature year round. Maybe its because of my skin chemistry. Whatever it is, this scent is compatible with me. It is right there next to squid in the feelings in invokes, which aren't aquatic at all, it is a sort of murky marine feel. Totally in opposition to what the artwork suggests. Definitely a day and summer scent tho so its not as versatile as squid but still very much more so than all the other scents from zoologists which cann be worn anywhere at any time in any season and get compliments, the trick with seahorse and squid is to use an amt based on the time of day/environment you will be in, less for hot weathers/environments without AC, more in cold weathers/night/cool environments. This scent does the same thing and ticks the same boxes for me that squid does, the problem? Silage and longevity, its more subtle than squid. Seahorse is squid's younger, more flamboyant and showy yet fleeting brother. It tries to be as complex but it isnt, it tries to be as dark but cant but its still good. Its a favorite of mine now, only problem i have with it is wishing it was longer lasting, it isnt but it lasts long enough (<6hrs) for the type of scent it is. It more masculine of course. I cannot emphasize enough how much I like this scent.

After that seeing julien rasquinet will work with zoologist, one of my most favourite houses, on a marine theme perfume, i know this is definitely going to be a yes blind buy for me - and im not disappointed. This one definitely blew my mind with its simplicity yet uniqueness. It wont knock you off your foot with its complexity like the zoologist bee, but if you look closely to what the house and the perfumer are trying to achieve, this is a 100/10. Upon its opening, fennel is very prominent, and in the middle, some tuberose mix with seaweed (plus some ambergris) and sage give an incredible blend. It does sound weird, but with julien rasquinet's magic, it works!! Overall, its a very unique marine theme perfume with some creaminess, and is very easy to use. The performance is acceptable, with longevity a little over 8-9 hours, and it projects moderately for the first 2-3 hours (the rest is a skin scent). To me this is one of the best from the house and definitely my top three. It definitely portray what its preamble says; "balmy sunlight trips across foamy turquoise waves, sending rippling haloes onto the coral below". I can imagine swimming through shallow water in an open ocean, observing corals and sea life while sunlight shine through the rippled waves. If the squid is a deep dark mysterious sea, seahorse is a happy memory snorkeling in australia. Absolutely terrific. Spray them on a different arm, close your eyes, smell them one by one, and let them take you to another dimension with their magic.

This fragrance smells like the color turquoise. Look up the "Symphony Dolphin" meme, it smells exactly like that. Beautiful aquatics—easily the most realistic I’ve ever smelled in any fragrance. Most aquatic-centered designer and mass-appealing scents have this clearly synthetic accord that kind of reminds me of a swimming pool. Distinctly artificial, but still generally pleasing. This, on the other hand, actually smells like the crisp energy of the ocean's surface on a hot summer day. There’s something distinctly alive in this fragrance. I’m not sure which notes are responsible, but it captures the vibe of an ocean brimming with life and motion. Don’t get me wrong—it isn’t “stinky” like actual sea creatures can be, but there’s a living quality to it. Maybe it’s the algae accord and ambergris working together? Projection and sillage are both excellent, and the longevity is around 4–5 hours. It’s on the upper end of moderate. I don’t think this scent is for everyone due to that “alive” quality, but man, this is a beautifully photorealistic ocean scent, full of energy and complexity. I personally love it. In terms of representing the animal it’s named after, I’d say it captures the environment perfectly. But when I think of a seahorse, I imagine something more majestic and refined—this leans more energetic and playful. Still, the depth is definitely there.
