Zoologist: Dodo Jackfruit edition

A Zoologist review; almost as rare as a Dodo. Dodo Jackfruit is not what I expected at all. I expected Zoologist, which is to say Animalic niche. Zoologist does not ordinarily pull its punches. Wearable releases are more like Harvest Mouse and less like Squid.

The original Dodo was not much of an exception. It was a pungent tropical fruit fragrance with musk, and it was polarizing. The Jackfruit doesn't intensify this, it scales it back. This fragrance is a completely wearable aromatic fougére. In fact, it's very pleasant and refined. The opening has a nice and spicy mix of jackfruit and turmeric, but the core is a dense tonka and sandalwood. It's relaxing and clean. It's much like Brut, but it leans towards the calm vanillic style of Sartorial. I would recommend this to someone that loves Sartorial but wants a little more spice and punch. This is not an EDT but the sillage is a relief. Take it as high praise for getting compared to the Penhaligon's.
