Northern Cardinal

A rose and leather chypre with a crisp, festive green start. Zoologist Northern Cardinal combines the invigorating scents of bergamot, rose and rich hints of leather, with tart green notes entwined with handsome undertones. Perfumer Rosendo Mateu composed it for Zoologist Perfumes. The Story Branches lay bare against a grey sky. The gaiety of summer has given way to the doldrums of fall, and as winter settles in, flocks take flight like guests from a dwindling party. One pair of revellers lingers on, he in crimson finery, she in demure tones, and among tattered streamers of copper leaves they warble a merry duet. Around the cardinals' nest, tinsel icicles may have replaced vibrant blooms of roses, but as they feast on scarlet berries dotting the snowy landscape, this feathered brood's festive spirit refuses to be chilled. Cloak yourself in this warm, cheerful perfume, a spark of joy on a bleak winter day, a subtle wreath of fragrance. How It Smells Opening Lemon, bergamot and mandarin sparkle over crisp green leaves. Heart Rose and herbal clary sage meet a rich leather note. Dry Down Oakmoss, patchouli, vanilla and musk give a mossy, softly sweet finish.
