HYRAX - ZOOLOGIST

Climbing onto its perch in the morning sky, the African sun crosses a mountain range to caress a broad, flat rock, gently cooking it with warmth. From the shadow of a narrow crevice, a family of hyrax emerges, a hot dust dulling the sheen of their golden fur. They settle on the rock’s warm expanse to take their ritual sunbath, but remain ever vigilant. The shadow of a soaring eagle swoops down to the ground. With an urgent cry, the alarm sounds — the colony rushes to seek shelter. As the heat of the blazing sun intensifies, ancient aromas are drawn from the scorched rocks, sparse vegetation and petrified hyraceum. Strangely, they intertwine to form a scent that is both primal and exotic, its animalic tendencies tamed by an underlying current of soft florals.

At the heart of Zoologist Hyrax lies a bold, rarely used ingredient in the art of perfumery — African stone, or hyraceum, giving this audacious animalic fragrance its distinctive signature. This unique perfume skillfully blends saffron, pink pepper, whisky, rose and musks to evoke an abstract image of a dusty African mountain landscape. Like the nimble hyrax pouring out of hillside crevices in search of sun on their musky skins, this fragrance will slip into your senses with a light yet primal touch.
