Thanks for the discussion, guys! I really want to drink Umbonco :) A few comments: Cristiano Canali had already left IFF when he created Bee. How now works at a French perfume house called Argeville. Koala lasts a long time on me, try mowing the lawn or do some housework a few hours after wearing it, it will climb up to your nose quite strongly. Rhinoceros got redesigned not because of the cost, it's that I can't get it to smell the same when I brought the formula to a compounding house to make it. The original Rhino has over 90 ingredients and some of them are not easily available to any compounding house. When Paul designed it we didn't expect Zoologist would go bigger than any other indie house, so we never cared too much about the availability of ingredients. It's a huge task for a compounding house to gather all his ingredients together just for this perfume, and many of the ingredients have no specifications for IFRA software to calculate the allergen percentages.
Wafts are the best. I find their tastes so similar to mine. I have a list every time I watch them. It's so long it will take me forever to sample ..lol
Hey Gents Great to see Squid get deserved attention instead of most of the hate that it's been given. I have been wearing Sloth and bat this week so will come back to check out your views on those. I really fight hard to get my stuff done before hearing anyone else. Seems like everyone is loving Bee only met a small few who don't praise it. Maybe Victor might be holding a pear this year.
Hi Brandon. Interesting what's the hate for? Too generic or too weird?? Yes, I always try and hold of reading/watching other views before I make up my own mind. I'll check out your thoughts on Bee.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft It was right when Squid came out. The weird opening. I've read it compared many ways. I personally think it's fantastic work and it needs to be recognized for it's artistic composition.
I love the background behind these fragrances, and the fact researchers go from neuroscience to perfumery. The two are interlinked and well worth exploring - cheers for sharing the sunshine gentlemen :) #HappyWeekendToAll
Loved the video guys, big zoologist fan especially T-Rex! Have you guys gotten your nose on Dusita Oudh Infini? Gorgeous animalic oud, and I’d love to hear your take on it.
I got a sample of squid last week. I really love ocean scents, so I was excited to try it. Squid has a warm amber smell to me... I get more MFK Grand Soir from Squid than something like Blvgari Aqua Marine. I guess I want my squid to be cool, dark, and inky... instead I got warm vanilla.. Its good, but not what I expected.
I've only tried Civet from Zoologist but loved it. Innovative brand. It would be interesting if Liz Moores and Franseca Bianchi contributed too. I love the discovery set from FB. Anubis, Tobacco Rose and Salome are outstanding. Slowdive was a winner for me but I was disappointed in Ormond Jayne after reading all the hype. Sloth is right up my fragrance alley being a bit animalic. I tried some awesome samples by Prin too. Oh about bats? Maybe it's the giant fruit bat in the jungles..lol. Thanks guys for this great video!
I own Squid and Bee both and love them both, but my favourite would be Bee. Waiting for my sample of Koala. Sloth I haven't figured out yet if I would want a full bottle of it. And Bat 2, I own the original one and prefer that one, so I don't think I'll buy a bottle of Bat 2, but it's not that I don't like it.
Yeah those 2 are definately one of my favourites too. Have smelled them all except Koala and well Rhino 2 that is not out yet. Zoologist is my favourite house.
I remember smelling Bee at Bloom, and being utterly underwhelmed by it. I guess that I need to revisit it and try it on skin. After the initial dry down, is it going in a very different direction to Slowdive? I'd love to see Ensar do an Arab Stallion related one.
Thanks for the video guys. Even though this brand's offerings aren't my style, I eagerly await each new release for the artwork -- and more specifically, the sartorial aspect. Of course koala had to be wearing a sweater vest.
I was just literally sniffing the opening pink pepper of Ta’if by Ormonde Jayne (which I got second hand off eBay) going hmmm nice as I heard you say how pink pepper was not up your Strasse re. Squid and that you didn’t like Ormonde Jayne generally. Must try some more Zoologst though...
Squid smells quite like the aftermath of sex, to my nose. 😅 It's good, but I felt self conscious wearing it. As though other people would be wondering what I was up to. Haha!
I really want to try these, wish they had them in British stores so I could try before I buy. The whole concept is fantastic. You guys should try Fantabulosa from Lush- I think it's weird enough to peak your interests. Banana leading to violet!
I do love Bee, am disappointed by Squid, and lukewarm about the new Bat. I'm really curious about Koala. As you have already covered Squid and Bee, and the Christèle Jacqúemin line, why not do a video on all the Art & Olfaction finalists? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for either Bee or Shawn Maher's Weinstrasse to win. If you don't know the latter, it's equally inventive as Bee, equally original, beautiful and true to its theme. Two great perfumes.
We will be doing some more O&A nominees. The next video is St Clair, and we have samples of Ganymede. We did think of trying to do all of them, but it would be very expensive to get samples of all, especially as many of the houses nominated this year are based in the US
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Oh, St. Clair! Mustn't miss that. Gardener's Glove and Casablanca are among my favorites. Anyway, I think they should invite you to be judges in the A&O competition, maybe next year.

Thanks for watching Viktor. Thank you for the clarifications, particularly with regards to redesigning. A complicated business, I'm sure.
Bees are legends and wasps are bastards lol loved that line
Of course Squid would smell gothic!
It is the scent of the dark lord Cthulhu 🐙
Great video as usual!
Thanks!
Great video gentlemen. Would love another cheapies video like the one 2 years ago
Hi, finally zoologist house review. More house talks, please.
Yes, there will be more!
Great and honest review. Love your dedication
Thanks!
“Is there anything more damning you could say than ‘perfectly nice’?” 😂
I wish I could like this twice , love and wofts video and adore Zoologist 👑 that's my evening sorted
Wafts are the best. I find their tastes so similar to mine. I have a list every time I watch them. It's so long it will take me forever to sample ..lol
Ha! Thanks!

My favs out of these are squid and sloth, both very unqiue
I love the background behind these fragrances, and the fact researchers go from neuroscience to perfumery. The two are interlinked and well worth exploring - cheers for sharing the sunshine gentlemen :) #HappyWeekendToAll
Thanks for watching!
I love this house. JCE should do one for them - watery and pastelly. Starfish maybe?
Interesting suggestion!
How about something from Patricia de Nicolai
That would be amazing, but she's a busy woman!
I've got Hyrax. Good fragrance, but very potent.
It certainly is!
Squid smells amazing dry down and after you washed it off 😉 and penguin is amazing
Loved the video guys, big zoologist fan especially T-Rex! Have you guys gotten your nose on Dusita Oudh Infini? Gorgeous animalic oud, and I’d love to hear your take on it.
Yes, it's beautiful stuff. We've never spent much time with the house, but may devote some time to it.

Its good, but not what I expected.
Yes, the pink pepper with the musk created quite a persistent, cloying quality for me

@Surround Scent I've never smelled Black Orchid..hmm

Quite a collection there!

Yes, it is quite different to SD, it really does go in quite a vintage direction and becomes more 'delicate' than SD.
Thanks for the video guys. Even though this brand's offerings aren't my style, I eagerly await each new release for the artwork -- and more specifically, the sartorial aspect. Of course koala had to be wearing a sweater vest.
Yes, the artwork is almost as creative as the fragrances!
Burt Reynolds vs Justin Bieber. THERE's a boxing match I'd pay to see!! 😂 🥊🥊
I'd like Miguel Matos to do one.
Interesting!

The pink pepper in Squid is really strong. I think you will like it.
It's a big note in a lot of Geza Schon fragrances, and if you like it I think you'll enjoy Squid.

Yes, Bloom have the full range, and you can order samples.
Please let it be Hiram Green, who needs to create one called “Lion”.
Great suggestion, although HG is all natural, so I'm not sure how that would work out with Zooloigst

Ha! Thanks! Yes, I loved Gardener’s Glove and Casablanca, but I think Pandora may be my favourite
Sorry but I'm still upset that I can't get a perk for your fragrance, I want to support you! Help
Hi. Your best bet is to email Sarah directly, and tell her we sent you 4160Tuesdays.com@gmail.com
4160Tuesdays.com@gmail.com
Too many ads now.
Fast forward the video right to the end, then start it again, you can watch without ads 😉
I do like your reviews but I did have a slight giggle when you both said the word ‘funk’ in your English accents.
Er, thanks!
Bee every time!
It's great stuff
WHATZ BETTER ZOOLOGIST BEE OR FLORIS HONEY OUD📌
They're VERY different. Bee leans more feminine with the florals, Honey Oud is less of an out and out Honey fragrance.
1st LIKE
Squid smells wrong. It was a blind buy for me, the fragrance stinks in a bad way, balsamic and peppery. Very bad smelling fragrance
