Sealed by the house. Not a decant.
Zoologist — Olm (1.5 ml brand original sample)
What it smells like on skin
Read the full scent story
Wet stone in the dark. That is genuinely the brief and genuinely what it smells like.
Mineral and limestone notes open it cold and almost metallic. Algae adds a green, faintly briny dampness. Then amber and sandalwood warm it from underneath, and musks hold it to the skin.
The olm is a blind cave salamander that lives its whole life underground. This is one of the strangest things in the range and one of the most quietly impressive.
Brand original sample — not a decant.
This is Zoologist’s own 1.5 ml sample vial. It is sold as a complete sealed unit.
