Hyrax by Zoologist Perfumes
2018 • Unisex

ZOOLOGIST PERFUMES
HYRAX

Hyrax opens with a bold burst of elemi and pink pepper, layered with the lush sweetness of Turkish rose and a hint of saffron that adds a spicy depth. As it evolves, the heart reveals a complex blend of hyacinth and the titular hyrax, underscored by the intriguing warmth of whiskey. This combination creates a rich, textured experience that transitions smoothly into the base notes, where the animalic tones of civet and castoreum intertwine with the creamy softness of sandalwood and tonka bean. The overall effect is musky and amber-rich, offering a distinctly leather-like warmth that lingers on the skin. Best suited for those who appreciate bold, unique fragrances, Hyrax thrives in the cooler months of fall and winter, making it ideal for evening wear. Its long-lasting presence and moderate sillage ensure that it won't go unnoticed, yet it remains approachable rather than overwhelming. If you enjoy scents that challenge the norm while still maintaining a sense of elegance, Hyrax is worth exploring-think of it as a more daring alternative to something like Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather, with an even more intriguing blend of animalic and woody elements.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

The opening leans on saffron and elemi, then a hyrax and whiskey accord takes over within the first hour. Castoreum, civet, and amber carry the base, which is where the wear ultimately lives. Expect a reasonable, well-behaved wear, not a beast, not a whisper. Hits hardest across winter and fall with a nighttime tilt.
