Zoologist Portuguese Man O’ War ~ new fragrance :: Now Smell This
Indie Canadian line Zoologist has launched Portuguese Man O’ War, a new unisex woody aquatic fragrance.
Blazing sunlight glistens then fractures on the roiling surface of an angry tropical sea. A caravel bobs among the waves, its tall sail blasted by hot, salty winds. Dangling beneath the ghostly vessel, a curtain of lethal tentacles sways menacingly in the swell. The Portuguese man o’ war drifts, letting its unwitting prey approach. Up to 100 feet long, their lacy tentacles exude crippling venom with the merest touch. In an instant, the prey is paralyzed, and as its organs slowly liquify, the colony of zooids begin to feed.
While it’s wise to avoid a Portuguese man o’ war in the wild, prepare for danger and excitement when you encounter this Zoologist perfume. Crisp ginger and metallic gunpowder deliver a fiery sting to open, before casting you adrift on a wave of briny seaweed absolute, immortelle and geranium. You’ll thrill to this enticing scent where the only pain is the delicious pang of longing.
Portuguese Man O’ War was developed by perfumer Antoine Lie. Additional notes include saffron, jasmine, sandalwood and tonka.
Zoologist Portuguese Man O’ War is available now at Essenza Nobile in Germany, in 60 ml Extrait de Parfum.
