Perfumer: Sven Pritzkoleit
Australian spring arrives, bearing dazzling frocks of yellow blossoms to dress the bare golden wattle trees. Clouds of sweet honeyed fragrance, caught upon the breeze, carry an invitation inland, where a flock of cockatiels happily take up the celebration. Emerging from dusty nests, the birds are ready to preen and prance. On a wobbly stage of branches, vivid crests bop to the rhythm of their joyous songs. After a final encore, the flock takes flight. Alighting in a nearby field they share a delightful brunch, buzzing with the thrill of their stunning recital.
Zoologist Cockatiel exudes joy. A sunny burst of yellow acacia offers a friendly welcome. Dots of raspberry and tart rhubarb suggest a hint of mischief, like a pair of rosy cheeks beneath a golden plume. Finally, soft notes of musk and vanilla enfold the vibrant Cockatiel, like downy feathers cushioning the brashness of this cheeky bird.
Zoologist Cockatiel was formerly known as “Powder and Dust”, a perfume created by Sven Pritzkoleit, published under his own brand, SP Parfums. The creative director of the scent was Yana Lysenko. This perfume won the 2019 Arts and Olfaction Awards under the Artisan category. In 2020, Sven closed his perfume business and sold the formula of Powder and Dust to Zoologist to continue its legacy.

- rhubarb
- rose
- Aromagroups:

This is a more transparent, floral expression of Juice | Balanced. It's sheer and intimate, like a halo of fruity floral essence rather than an explosive blast. The silken woods and watery jasmine soften the juicy ripeness of the fruits. Musk adds a cozy airiness that's both comforting and sensual." — perfumer Nathalie Benareau

Dragonfly (2021) by Zoologist £200.00
- Key notes:
- basil
- cashmeran
- geranium
- mimosa
- rice
- Aromagroups:
- floral
- green
Giant lotus pads part to make way for buds that pierce the surface of the jade green pond. They raise their faces to the sun, their delicate fragrance floating around them. In the shadow of the flowers, tiny dragonfly nymphs also emerge from the shallows. They spread their fragile wings and shyly take flight, ready to explore a world beyond the water. Shimmering pools of nearby golden rice fields call to the dragonflies. Their long, quivering bodies flit across the cascading terraces to alight upon swaying stalks, sparkling with sunlight caught in droplets on iridescent wings.
Like a lotus spreading its petals, Zoologist Dragonfly opens with a rush of beautiful aquatic florals. Hints of rice, powdery iris, and mimosa diffuse from within a lush shroud of green, beneath the intimate aroma of an imminent summer shower. Dragonfly encapsulates the richness and romance of impressionism, a canvas of florals under a watery veil.
This perfume is a new interpretation by perfumer Celine Barel. The original version, designed by Juan Perez, is discontinued and no longer available.

- grapefruit
- oakmoss
- orange
- pine needles
- rhubarb
- Aromagroups:

Within the grand halls of the Tang dynasty, a solitary dancer, Yuyi, steps into the light. Her grace feels almost celestial, a fragment of heaven quietly descended into the mortal world. One dance is enough to captivate an entire city. Celestial Robe traces her steps with this fougere, starting with the zesty opening movement: tart orange, lemon and rhubarb, with pine and grapefruit adding sharpness and clarity. Galbanum underscores the green aspects, as a bouquet of woods (cedarwood and guaiac wood) and plush musk and ambergris round off the choreography.
Perfumer: Fanming Meng

Many listed fragrances share some of these notes but may emphasise different facets such as fruitiness, freshness, or animalic qualities, resulting in variations in sweetness, powderiness or woody depth.
- What notes define Cockatiel’s character?
- Cockatiel’s character is defined by a blend of tart rhubarb and raspberry with sparkling champagne and powdery mimosa, resting on a warm base of vanilla, cashmeran, musk, guaiac wood and patchouli. This combination creates a floral woody musk that is both fresh and textured.
- Are these fragrances suitable for those who like powdery scents?
