unisex
Balmy sunlight trips across foamy turquoise waves, sending rippling haloes onto the coral below. On the lagoon floor, anemone and seaweed sway in unison, limbs pumping to the rhythm of the current. Hovering among the coral branches, a group of seahorses gazes shyly on. The pulsating beat calls to them and two pair off, their tails entwined in a delicate waltz. Soon their passion is spent, but the memory of the dance lives on. For the pouch of the male seahorse tenderly cradles a precious clutch of eggs.
Zoologist Seahorse invites you to wade through a vibrant coral garden. This unisex scent turns expectation on its head. With such surprising couplets as tuberose and seaweed, sage and neroli, and fennel and vetiver, this delightful melody will sweep you away on a wave of joy and abandon.
Perfumer: Julien Rasquinet
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Seahorse suits a bright afternoon when the pace slows but conversation stays animated. Its salty, vegetal edge keeps the floral warmth from feeling dressed-up: an open-neck shirt, sunlight across the table, and a presence that feels buoyant rather than brisk.
How to wear
The marine and aromatic profile lends itself to mild or warm weather. Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the seaweed, herbs and florals to settle before adding more. In hotter conditions, keep application light to give the tuberose and ambergris accord room without crowding the freshness.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to aquatic fragrances but looking beyond conventional blue freshness. Seahorse will appeal to lovers of salty, vegetal textures, aromatic herbs and white florals, especially when they enjoy unusual contrasts rather than a purely citrus-led marine scent.

The nose
Julien Rasquinet is a French perfumer trained under Pierre Bourdon, known for expressive compositions including Masque Milano Russian Tea and Amouage Interlude Black Iris. His work often combines atmospheric detail with rich texture. In Seahorse, he brings that approach to an aquatic composition, balancing algae with aromatic herbs and luminous florals.
Collaborators
Victor Wong shaped the creative brief around seaweed and seahorse behavior, then evaluated Julien Rasquinet’s trial formulas. His interest in male seahorse pregnancy informed the floral direction, intended to challenge the conventionally masculine character he associated with aquatic perfumes.
Zoologist’s story
Founded by Victor Wong in Toronto, Zoologist translates animal habitats, behavior and appearance into imaginative fragrances rather than literal animal smells. Its compositions range from playful to deliberately challenging, with synthetic alternatives replacing animal-derived musks. Seahorse explores this approach through marine vegetation, courtship and unexpected floral pairings.
Seahorse’s concept
Seahorse began with Wong’s wish to create an aquatic perfume centered on seaweed. Learning how seahorses anchor themselves with their tails supplied the animal connection. Early algae-heavy trials reminded him of Hong Kong dried-seafood markets; floral additions gradually shifted the composition toward the sunlit coral garden of the finished fragrance.
Extra info
Despite its ambergris note, Seahorse contains no animal products: the ambergris accord is synthetic. Its distinctive pairings—tuberose with seaweed, sage with neroli, and fennel with vetiver—are central to the official fragrance story.
