#wackpack #eugenius #perfume Thanks to all whom have supported my work thru purchasing a coffee If you wish you can do so here: www.buymeacoff... Celine Barel perfumer for Zoologist Squid
I blind bought this and Camel from Zoologist. The description they provided is really on point. The scent carries a very strong pepper and spice, which lingers throughout the day. These two then get more and more blended with a smokiness (incense and musk) that combines them into a dark and bitter salty tone with ambergris coming onto the scene later and very mild, unlike fresher tones. As a biologist I'm taken to the deep sea, where pressure and salinity increase at depths only the giant squid and whale can handle. The concept makes complete sense because the bitter pepper and spice tone put you on your guard for a battle you didn't expect, just as you do in the deep sea. The incense literally then muddies the water (perfume) as the ink tone comes through blinding the whale and leaving the battle scars from the squid. It's as though both creatures release their pheremones, slowly cutting through the adrenaline of the pepper spice feel. As the mighty whale retreats (true in the wild), wounded and scarred it spews bitter amgergris as the pepper, spice and salt become more subtle. This makes me think back to the retreating whale's skin, which although thick and enduring still leaves traces of all it's past battles. Amazing concept and 10/10 for painting this picture so accurately with the biology of these two creatures. Not what I was expecting at all because of the darkness of the scent, but it is certainly unique and seductive. It's exactly like two alpha creatures going to war, releasing pheromones to dictate dominance and superiority. Amazing!
Squid has quickly moved into my top 5 of Zoolologist... Rhino... TRex... Bat (org)... Bat (new)... This has climbed right into the middle the favs... Love it. Someday a bottle for sure ... Thanks guys ✌️
Now that you mention it, Bill Nighy is one of my favorite actors and now I feel like I have to buy and gift this cologne to him somehow. 😆 I think he’d easily pull it off as I’ve read it tracks with older men too. But also cause, well, he was an octopus at one point.
I have squid and it’s something else. Nice to see your take on it. Squid had a limited edition packaging that I have when it first came out. It was beautiful, squid as it drys down starts to get a little sweet which I think is the benzoin.
Hey Eugen. about a year ago I got the whole line in sample form from zoologist. When I first smelled squid i didnt know what to think. it was very interesting but I didn't really like it. As always, I never judge a scent by the first impression off the card. After multiple wearing's over the months here and there, Squid has blown my mind. I now own a full bottle. ;-) Squid is just beautiful from top to bottom for me. Great review!
Thanks for the review guys! Last time I met you, Daniel, at the Toronto fragrance gathering, I thought I had seen your face before, no wonder, you were in Eugene's videos :)
Im shocked you didnt pick up the ink note right away. That one is up front to me and hard to get past. Love Zoologist but the ink note in this particular one is tough.
Maybe it's like the smell of an old diver's helmet buried in the sea? I haven't smelled squid, but I'm imagining it that way, it may not make much sense what I said
I really like it when you have guests on with you . You give a fuller opinion with others to bounce your thoughts off of.
Great job BOB.

And btw you gotta put this on skin to fully appreciate the depth. Quite unique
Damn, Squid is FANTASTIC!
I imagine this is what Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean smells like. Arrrgh.

Love this inky incense masterpiece!
it's more about the ink on salty water more than the freshness or whatever

Is it published again...I recollect seeing this video earlier 🙄🙄
Probably they have earlier said that stink like old wet sock.
Now they give total baffling, incomprehensible description, not to offend Wong.
@@danijel3227 that was the real first impression...I skipped this since I saw earlier.. will see this again
Fantastic one guys
Thanks for the review guys! Last time I met you, Daniel, at the Toronto fragrance gathering, I thought I had seen your face before, no wonder, you were in Eugene's videos :)
Nice video lads. I have yet to smell a single offering from the house yet, but definitely curious. #wackpack
Yo..! Very, surprised to hear that.. Same here.. (there is a lot out there) 57
@@BobbyDior ya I know 🤣🤣 So many houses nowadays so much perfume, hard to get around to everything.
You have to wear it and enjoy the dry down it's a inky salty sweet scent very unique and a lil fishy in the best way
Squid is all about ambergris to me. In a way it's a spicier version of House of Matriarch - Orca
Buried in frags! love it
Great video! Really need to get my nose on some Zoologist!
Stopping by and showing some love.
How is it on your guys' skin?
Im shocked you didnt pick up the ink note right away. That one is up front to me and hard to get past. Love Zoologist but the ink note in this particular one is tough.
I like the old Kristo...
I will never forgive you on the soya sauce. After you mentioned that I couldn't smell anything else. you ruined it :P
Its deja vu with you two 🍀

Zoologist fragrances are about as expensive as some of the Tom Ford line. They really gotta be worth it then at that price margin.
Hope you good my very good friend if Not read my recomendations one of Last Videos for be more Happy.
Wish you had both done the review shirtless. Next time!
Bring back Kristo.. Daniel is cool and quite knowledgeable also however.
Just not digging any aquatics. Was impressed by Koala though.
What's wrong with you, no vidz up?
