It’s my favorite of the entire Zoologist collection. If you like Fahrenheit 32, this is your next step. It’s 100% marine, beachy, and packed with animal personality. Totally addictive.
This isn’t perfume, it’s nonsense. Another hipster kitchen creation made after a few drinks that ends up smelling like squid, maybe that’s why it’s named that. With this, I’m closing my faith in this niche brand that creates concepts with good artistic flair rather than perfumes, taking advantage of the niche boom and naive buyers just to make money, yet whose scents I’d only wear if I were a circus character. It’s not attractive or sexy; it smells like some weird creature from a Japanese anime like Mushishi. I wasn’t ashamed to give away the discovery set I bought. That said, The Owner already brings Ferraris at people’s expense. Goodbye Zoologist. P.S. It doesn’t bear even the slightest resemblance to Fahrenheit 32 (hopefully), and buying blind was throwing money away.
This isn’t perfume; it’s a headless idea. Another hipster kitchen creation that ends up being Squid, maybe because of the name. With this, I’m closing my faith in this niche brand that creates more artistic concepts than perfumes, riding the hype to cash in on a naive public, whose scents I’d only wear if I were a circus character. It’s not attractive or sexy; it smells like some strange creature from a Japanese anime like Mushi-Shi. I had no shame in selling the discovery set I bought and gifting it. The Owner already drove me to Ferrari because of it. Goodbye Zoologist. P.S.: It has no resemblance to Fahrenheit 32, and buying it blindly is throwing money away.
A singular, artistic fragrance with a dual aroma: salty and slightly sweet, bright like salt crystals yet dark as the ocean depths, perhaps due to the ink or incense. It’s a marine scent, but not fresh and aquatic like the usual stuff; it’s deep and mysterious, from the abyssal zone. Different, well-made, another hit from Zoologist. Scent: 8, Originality: 9, Versatility: 7, Quality: 9, Price: 6, Design: 10. Total: ★★★☆☆. Notes: salt, incense, ink, and a sweet base that doesn’t quite fit the ingredients. Feeling: duality and balance.
Another very different piece. Although it has that marine character, what stands out most is a balsamic, very smoky incense. For me, it has two parts: a marine and salty one from ambergris and ink, and a balsamic and sweet one from incense, benzoin, and opoponax. It reminds me of Amouage Interlude or Nasomatto Black Afgano, without being a clone. The marine note isn’t the typical fresh one, but rather the smell of water or fish. On the opening, it smells like cutting fresh squid, in a pleasant way. Personally, I wouldn’t wear it; I acknowledge its quality and originality. As a work of art, it’s top. The longevity is excellent. Gradually it loses the marine character and leaves the balsamic and incense notes. I see it as unisex, perhaps more masculine and for daily use. Due to intensity, it could serve for night, though not so much for going out and dating since it’s not sexy. Scent: 7.5, Longevity: 8.5, Projection: 7, Value: 6, Versatility: 6, Originality: 10, Overall: 8

Smells like fresh fish and a little sweet. I wouldn’t wear it. Period.
Smells like fresh fish with a sweet touch, but I wouldn’t wear it. Pass.
Look, I know every nose is different and taste is subjective, but calling this ‘fishy’ is absurd. It’s not a marine animal scent like Bvlgari Aqva with its algae; here you have incense, amber, ink, and salt that take you to the bottom of the ocean, among rocks and squids. I wouldn’t buy it blindly, but if someone offers it to you, give it a try. ★★★
🔎👃🏻 FIRST IMPRESSION 👃🏻🔍 I know every nose is different and tastes vary, but saying this smells like fish is absurd. A ‘weird’ aroma exists, and it might be less versatile, but it doesn’t smell marine per se. Bvlgari Aqva has more of an algae tone than this composition. Squid smells like incense + amber + ink + salt + deep nuances; imagine the habitat of a squid, not its odor. The dark ocean, the rocks, the ink… Blind buy? Not a chance. Mandatory try? Probably. 🌟🌟🌟
I was interested in the notes and bought it, but one spray was a serious mistake. It smells like Holy Week with pepper and ink, nothing marine. The base is so powerful it overwhelms; I washed my arm and it still smelled like Good Friday incense. I even rubbed gasoline on it to get rid of it, and I prefer that smell. Please, don’t even get close to this mess. The brand is only for hipsters who care about the art of printing.
I found the notes interesting, which is why I bought it, but as soon as I applied a shot, I knew it was a grave mistake. It smells like Holy Week with pepper and ink. That’s the smell! No marine accord at all. The base is so potent it’s overwhelming; it’s like dousing yourself in Good Friday incense. I had to wash my arm with soap and water, and it still wouldn’t come off, so I rubbed gasoline on it and that’s how it went away. I prefer the smell of gasoline. Please, don’t even get close to this mess. And the brand? For wannabe hipsters who only care about the art of printing. Age: over 80. Season: none. Blind buy: 2/10. Scent: 1/10. Originality: 1/10. Versatility: 1/10. Quality: 2/10. Price: 2/10. Sillage: 10/10. Longevity: 10/10. Design: 4/10. Sophistication: 1/10. Overall rating: 3.4/10.
Everyone has already said it below! It’s a very artistic perfume, but I don’t find it hard to understand if you’ve already explored the niche world a bit. It has a duality that blends perfectly: marine, salty, resinous, sweet, and mysterious. I don’t find it animalic or challenging at all; I think you just need to give it time to truly understand and enjoy it. Lasts and projects well, ideal for mild and cold climates, day and night. Worth trying, given its awards and reputation. Rating: 9/10
They’ve already said everything below. A very artistic perfume, but I don’t find it hard to understand if you’ve already taken a tour of the niche world. It has a duality that blends perfectly: marine, salty, resinous, sweet, and mysterious. I don’t find it animalic or challenging; you just need to give it time to understand and enjoy it. It lasts and projects well, seems made for temperate and cold climates, day and night. Worth trying for its awards and fame. Note: 9/10.
A perfume that masterfully recreates the smell of Baltic North Sea squid.
Squid opens with a prickly sensation, light incense with sweet and floral nuances, and a metallic touch I attribute to salicylate (that sweetness of isoamyl alcohol). Then comes a salty, creamy smell with marine accords that dominates over time. The drydown hits at an hour and a half: a buttery, salty, caramelized ambergris from the benzoin, conveying beach skin and reminding me of Alien Mirage, though Squid is more complex, less floral, and less fresh. It lasts about 9 hours and has a strange projection: the first two hours are strong, but once the creamy scent enters, it seems to merge with the skin, releasing a soft bubble of scent around me without me noticing when I touch anyone. It was a pleasant surprise. It’s unisex, rare but attractive if you wait for the transition from cold to warm. Useful from spring to autumn, at any time, but it shines on hot summer nights. It’s a second-skin scent, oily and dirty, but very attractive. My partner says I smell like Danish cookies. Those who say it smells like fish probably tried it at low temperature or my chemistry is different. Still, the opening with incense is wearable. I recommend trying it to expand your olfactory bulb. Pleasant: 8/10, Interesting: 9/10, Versatile: 8/10, Original: 10/10

Quality perfume. Yes, it smells like squid, like a seafood market in a fishing port. It’s a masterful combination of musk and ambergris, very animal, ultra-sexual, and carnal. Eating seafood increases libido, and this perfume generates something similar. It’s very well made; the composition is excellent: prickly, smoky, resinous, with an ink aroma from start to finish. An excellent recreation of the squid’s habitat, completely usable and enjoyable for those who love animal and marine scents. A little gem.
It doesn’t smell like squid or marine animal, but it smells good. You can detect the salt, the ink, a bit of incense, and lots of ambergris; pepper stands out at first. It could be unisex and offers a balanced aroma. At certain moments, I got the impression of smelling pencil shavings. It’s not a bomb or anything challenging; if you’re looking for something different and unusual, this is one of them.
Real quality. To me, it definitely smells like squid, like a seafood market in a fishing port. The blend of musk and ambergris is masterful, very animal, sexual, and carnal. Smelling it gives me the same rush as eating seafood. It’s well-made: spicy, smoky, resinous, and smelling of ink from start to finish. It’s an excellent recreation of the squid’s habitat, usable and enjoyable for those who love animal and marine scents. A gem.
Tested from my bottle and after several sprays: I love it. It’s not fresh as it seems, but usable in heat. The weird thing is you don’t associate it with anything, despite the woody incense, cinnamon, and that incredible ink note. The squid touch is residual, maybe 10% fresh squid in Chinese ink. The longevity is infinite, and the projection fades very slowly. The atomizer and presentation are a joy.
Delicious and subtle incense, with a sweet ink that envelops you and a hint of pepper. Synthetic ambergris gives it a bitter, metallic edge. As it dries, it becomes saltier and more marine, but keeps that cookie-like sweetness. It reminds me of corals on the beach, burned myrrh mixed with the sea, and a bit of dry henna ink exuding salt. It’s oceanic, different, and curious, like reading a newspaper with melting ink on the sand while someone walks by with homemade cookies.
Nothing like what I’ve smelled before, but it does feel natural: that sensation of being near the sea, fresh, salty, and dense. It’s complex, marine, and dark all at once. The incense is warm, and as it dries, it leaves a soapy trail and something reminiscent of saliva—sweet and animalic, but not unpleasant. It lasts a long time on skin, though the projection is short. Usable, but for niche-world people.
It’s a bet on the squid ink accord: resinous, with incense, salt, and ambroxan, plus a cloying touch reminiscent of cloves. It’s not challenging, but very artistic; I see it more for collectors than daily wear, as there are better options for the same occasions. Try a decant before spending the money.
