Nightingale – Extrait de Parfum

Zoologist's Nightingale is a pink floral chypre celebrating the arrival of Japanese spring – when the nightingale's song carries the scent of plum blossom through the air. Messengers of spring bring smiles to faces dulled by winter's chill.

Nightingale smells floral, fruity, and chypre-like: bergamot, lemon, and saffron open powdery-tart and invigorating, before red rose, plum blossom, and violet intertwine at the heart into a delicate floral core, while the base of white musk, ambergris, moss, labdanum, oud, patchouli, sandalwood, and frankincense provides a deep, chypre-like finish.

Nightingale works best in spring, during the day – a unisex fragrance for anyone who loves delicate floral chypre compositions.

What makes this fragrance special to us: how Tomoo Inaba translates Japanese spring into a pink floral chypre – delicate on the surface, but with real depth underneath.
