Zoologist Elephant Sanctuary Edition Extrait

Description

Zoologist Elephant Sanctuary Edition imagines a place of rest after struggle. The calm of a wildlife sanctuary where an elephant is finally free to just stand in the shade. Perfumer Natasha Côté opens with brisk Earl Grey tea and mate alongside warming pink pepper and cardamom, moves into a hushed bouquet of Indian jasmine, tuberose, and Turkish rose, and settles into sandalwood, suede, and orris root: a quieter, more reflective sibling to the original Zoologist Elephant, built around refuge rather than the open savanna.

Scent Character

A tea-tinged spicy opening gives way to a lush, slightly powdery floral heart, before drying down into soft woods and suede, reviewers classify it as woody-floral with a musky base.

Note: no official accord percentages have been published for this release, so the balance is described qualitatively from externally verified notes.

Performance

FAQ

How is this different from the original Zoologist Elephant?
The original Elephant leans into a dry, savanna-dust character; the Sanctuary Edition is built around a calmer, more reflective concept, a place of refuge rather than the open plain, which shows up as a softer, tea-and-floral profile with a suede-forward drydown.

Does Zoologist donate proceeds from this edition to elephant conservation?
We couldn't independently confirm a formal conservation donation tied to this release through Zoologist's own site or third-party fragrance databases, so we're not claiming one, the "Sanctuary" naming reflects the fragrance's concept, not a verified giving program.

Is Elephant Sanctuary Edition unisex?
Yes. The tea-spice opening and soft woody-suede base wear well on anyone.

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