DODO - ZOOLOGIST

DODO - ZOOLOGIST

The sun glittered on the rolling waves, its morning dance on the Indian Ocean awakening the dodos from their carefree slumber. Staggering drunkenly across the forest floor, they feasted on overripe fruit where they stood, laid out for them by the lush paradisiacal island that nourished them. For generations, the abundant, predator-free shores lulled them into such complacency that their wings fell into disuse and flight was lost — even from memory. Evolution would eventually betray them, but for as long as it lasted, the dodos enjoyed a life marked by ease and comfort.

In Zoologist Dodo, fragrant grasses and ferns are brightened with a zesty touch of bergamot, juicy pineapple and blackcurrant, before the fruity aroma yields to a more traditional fern accord. Spices gambol among notes of lavender, tonka and oakmoss, settling into beautiful woody nuances of oak. Dodo is a paradox. Like those vanished inhabitants of Mauritius, the scent is at once classic yet playful, unknowable yet remarkably unforgettable. The ideal fragrance for those with an eclectic sensibility who aspire to a life of leisure and contentment.
