HYRAX - ZOOLOGIST

Climbing to its perch in the morning sky, the African sun breaks through a mountain range to caress a broad, flat rock, baking it in a gentle warmth. From the shadow of a narrow crevice, a family of hyraxes emerges, hot dust dulling the sheen of their golden fur. They settle on the warm expanse of rock for their ritual sunbathing, but remain ever vigilant. The shadow of a soaring eagle swoops across the ground. With an urgent cry, the alarm sounds—the colony rushes for cover. As the heat of the scorching sun intensifies, ancient aromas are extracted from the scorched rocks, sparse vegetation, and petrified hyraceum. Strangely, they intertwine to form a fragrance that is both primal and exotic, its animalistic tendencies tamed by an undercurrent of sweet florals.

At the heart of Zoologist Hyrax is a bold and rarely used ingredient in the art of perfumery - African stone, or hyraceum, giving this bold animalic scent its distinctive signature. This unique fragrance expertly blends saffron, pink pepper, whisky, rose and musks to conjure an abstract image of a dusty African mountain landscape. Like the agile hyraxes that pour from the crevices of the hills in search of the sun on their musky hides, this scent will sneak into your senses with a light yet primal touch.
