Is Nightingale right for you?
- Scent profile: A vintage-style floral chypre — powdery plum blossom, rose, and violet over saffron, wrapped in oud, patchouli, and moss. Reads polished and old-world rather than fresh or modern.
- Best worn: Spring and fall, and better suited to cooler weather than heat — this one leans elegant, not breezy.
- You'll love it if: you're drawn to classic, vintage-style chypres and powdery florals, and appreciate a fragrance that unfolds slowly rather than announcing itself.
- Maybe start with something else if: you want something clearly unisex or contemporary — Nightingale leans distinctly feminine and old-world, one of the more acquired tastes in the line.
- Try before you buy: niche fragrance is deeply personal, and $260 is a real commitment sight-unseen. Visit us at Aspen Landing to test Nightingale, and the rest of the Zoologist line, before you buy.
Messengers of spring arrive, bearing gifts that bring smiles to faces dulled by winter's chill. The joyous song of the nightingale accompanies vibrant, fuchsia-coloured aromas of Japanese plum blossoms as they spread through the tepid air, heralding the season's turn.
Created by perfumer Tomoo Inaba, Zoologist Nightingale is a modern floral chypre — rich scents of saffron and rosy, powdery plum blossom envelop the core of the perfume like a luxurious silk kimono, while oud, patchouli, moss, and incense seep through the ruddy petals beneath.
- Top notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Saffron
- Heart notes: Japanese Plum Blossom, Red Rose, Violet
- Base notes: Oud, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Moss, Frankincense, White Musk, Labdanum, Ambergris
