A fantastic disgrace this one. Elements I like and some I really don't but what I will say is that it's incredibly well made, and balanced, much more so than many Zoologists, not being bitchy there, I like many of them and the opportunities brand owner Victor gives to indy perfumers but as soon as I smelled this I figured it had been done by one of the IFF crew he's brought in for recent releases. There's the signature ambroxan and woody amber as it's dried down something Rasquinet seems to be able to keep on doing without offending anyone. (Anyone being me) Of course it has those melon faceted calone, or marine molecule effects to it as well, something which you'd very much expect in a perfume named seahorse but you also get that salty, algae bloom, seaweed with a sickening creamy neroli and vetiver. This is that combination often found in these sorts of sea evoking perfumes and it's the reason I disliked many fragrances including vetiver dance by Andy Tauer but then ended up being convinced by. I can even smell the aromatic clary sage and a somewhat, 90's masculine lean to this perfume which is an aquatic with much more than meets the eye. It's actually very pleasurable to wear and has some sweet, almost fruity facets at the start, giving almost pink hues in and among all that aquamarine and teal. Reminded me in a fleeting seaside way of Pacific rock moss by G&B. Anyway, all in all I think it's accomplished what it sets out to do, evoke a seahorse. I can forgive the herbal, handcream/neroli/vetiver thing because it's me that needs to grow on that front and there's enough other stuff going on to keep me interested and actually enjoy this perfume.
