Balmy sunlight trips across foamy turquoise waves, sending rippling haloes onto the coral below. On the lagoon floor, anemone and seaweed sway in unison, limbs pumping to the rhythm of the current. Hovering among the coral branches, a group of seahorses gazes shyly on. The pulsating beat calls to them and two pair off, their tails entwined in a delicate waltz. Soon their passion is spent, but the memory of the dance lives on. For the pouch of the male seahorse tenderly cradles a precious clutch of eggs.
Zoologist Seahorse invites you to wade through a vibrant coral garden. This unisex scent turns expectation on its head. With such surprising couplets as tuberose and seaweed, sage and neroli, and fennel and vetiver, this delightful melody will sweep you away on a wave of joy and abandon.
Perfumer: Julien Rasquinet
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of moving close to the water’s edge when the air is warm and bright, with salt on the skin and green growth underfoot. It feels light, curious and slightly romantic, suited to a wearer who likes freshness with a strange, polished twist.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its salty-green facets can open without becoming sharp. Apply lightly to keep the extrait’s marine accord airy; one or two sprays are enough for a clear, graceful trail that stays close to the skin while leaving a soft saline shimmer in the air.
Who it’s for
For those who like aquatic fragrances with character: clean but not generic, fresh but not sporty, and marine notes lifted by herbs, florals and a touch of mineral warmth. It suits adventurous wearers who enjoy niche compositions with a playful, refined edge.
Release year
2023
The nose
Julien Rasquinet. Rasquinet is known for elegant, textural compositions that balance clarity with unexpected depth, often giving niche fragrances a polished but distinctive signature. In Seahorse, he turns an aquatic brief into something more vivid and whimsical, weaving marine notes with aromatic herbs and airy florals rather than a flat ocean accord.
Collaborators
Victor Wong, Zoologist’s founder and creative director, shaped the animal-inspired concept and the coral-reef narrative, guiding the fragrance toward the brand’s characteristic mix of imagination, precision and wearability.
Zoologist’s story
Zoologist builds fragrances around animal life, translating habitats, behaviors and instincts into imaginative perfumes. The house is known for independent creative briefs, bold structures and a willingness to be unusual, while keeping the compositions wearable and often vegan in formulation.
Seahorse’s concept
Seahorse was released in December 2023 as a marine chapter in Zoologist’s animal universe. Its story imagines a sunlit coral garden where seaweed, salt air and flowering plants mingle, and the composition plays on unexpected pairings to create a joyful aquatic scene rather than a strict oceanic portrait.
Extra info
Seahorse is an extrait concentration and part of Zoologist’s aquatic line. It uses a vegan ambergris accord rather than animal-derived materials, and its note structure is built around surprising contrasts such as sage with neroli and tuberose with seaweed.
