Zoologist Chameleon Tropical Blooms Edition Extrait

Description

Zoologist Chameleon Tropical Blooms Edition drops you into a rainforest just after the rain stops: humid, green, and heavy with fruit and flowers. Perfumer Antoine Lie opens with banana leaf, ylang-ylang, and bergamot, moves into a lush, juicy heart of orange blossom, guava, jasmine, and passionfruit, and lets it all settle into vanilla, sandalwood, and cedarwood: a warmer, more floral-fruity reinterpretation of the color-shifting Chameleon concept, built around the animal's tropical habitat rather than its camouflage.

Scent Character

Tropical and gourmand-adjacent: banana leaf and ylang-ylang give it a lush, humid green-floral opening, guava and passionfruit push it into juicy fruit territory through the heart, and a vanilla-sandalwood base keeps the drydown warm and soft.

Fragrance Pyramid

• Top: Banana Leaf, Ylang-Ylang, Bergamot
• Heart: Orange Blossom, Guava, Jasmine, Passionfruit
• Base: Vanilla, Sandalwood, Cedarwood

Performance

As an Extrait de Parfum, expect solid performance, generally 6-plus hours with moderate sillage, though the fruity-floral top notes are the first thing to soften as the vanilla-sandalwood base takes over. (Estimate based on Extrait concentration.)

Best Occasions & Season

A Spring-into-Summer fragrance built for warm-weather wear, bright and fruity enough for daytime, with enough vanilla warmth underneath for a summer evening. Unisex.

FAQ

Is Tropical Blooms Edition the same as the original Zoologist Chameleon?
No. It's a flanker of the original Chameleon EDP (also available at Venba), reimagined by perfumer Antoine Lie in a warmer, more floral-fruity tropical direction rather than the original's own profile.

Is this fragrance unisex?
Yes. The tropical fruit-floral opening and vanilla-sandalwood base wear well on anyone.

How does the animal theme show up in this scent?
Zoologist built the Chameleon concept around the animal's tropical rainforest habitat and color-shifting nature; Tropical Blooms leans into the humid, fruit-and-flower side of that habitat rather than a more neutral or green take.

What sizes can I try at Venba?
1mL samples, decanted from an authentic bottle.
