The following are some reasons why perfumes can become unavailable:
Each year, the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) issues ever-stricter safety and allergen regulations. This affects quite a few classic formulas as well as niche compositions, and sometimes brands have to discontinue a perfume if they are unable to reformulate.
The brand decides to change the concentration. For example, an eau de parfum is reformulated as an extrait, effectively turning it into a different perfume.
The brand ceases operating. The creative director passed away, got bored, started a new project, sold the business, etc.
The brand cannot keep up with logistics and production demands, with disruptions for up to a year. If there is no regular production and availability schedule, it is not viable for a stockist to carry the brand.
The brand changed the distribution model, eg from niche to duty free.
The sun sparkled across rippling waves, its morning dance upon the Indian Ocean rousing the dodos from their carefree slumber. Stumbling drunkenly across the forest floor they feasted on overripe fruit where it lay, dropped for them by the lush island paradise that nurtured them. For generations, the predator-free and bountiful shores lulled them into such a state of complacency that their wings grew idle, and flight was lost – even to memory. Ultimately evolution would betray them, but while it lasted, the dodos enjoyed an existence marked by ease and comfort.
In Zoologist Dodo, notes of jackfruit and bergamot border a winding path dappled with aromatic turmeric and pink pepper. Venture along it to the heart of an island forest where hints of powdery orris emerge from beneath a potpourri of lavender, geranium, and orange flower. Soothed by the comforting florals, you’ll soon surrender, sinking into the loam where woody tonka and sandalwood sprout from an earthy base of patchouli and vetiver.
An unhurried afternoon outdoors, with crushed greenery underfoot and ripe fruit nearby. The jackfruit gives the fragrance a relaxed, slightly eccentric warmth, while lavender and geranium keep its presence composed rather than sugary. It suits company close enough to notice the powdery flowers beneath the tropical opening.
How to wear
Try it in spring or moderate summer warmth, when the green aromatics can balance the ripe-fruit accord. Start with one or two sprays of the extrait on skin and assess before adding more, especially in humid weather. Allow the opening to settle before judging the softer orris and woody, earthy base.
Who it’s for
For lovers of aromatic fougères who want an unfamiliar fruit accent rather than a conventional citrus opening. It will particularly appeal to tastes that favour green spice, powdery florals and earthy woods over straightforward tropical sweetness.

The nose
Yves Cassar created Dodo Jackfruit Edition after composing Zoologist’s 2020 interpretation of Dodo. Here, he gives the familiar aromatic structure of a fougère a tropical inflection, balancing a jackfruit accord and turmeric against lavender, geranium, powdery orris and earthy woods.
Zoologist’s story
Founded by Victor Wong in Toronto, Zoologist translates animals and their habitats into distinctive olfactory portraits rather than literal reproductions of animal smells. Its independent perfumers explore the beautiful, playful and unconventional, with synthetic alternatives replacing natural animal-derived musks.
Dodo Jackfruit Edition 2023’s concept
Dodo Jackfruit Edition continues a fragrance story that began with Joseph DeLapp’s original Dodo and was subsequently reinterpreted by Yves Cassar. This edition imagines dodos wandering an abundant Indian Ocean island forest, feeding on fallen fruit. That fictional scene informs its tropical fougère structure: lush fruit above aromatic foliage, comforting flowers and earthy woods.
Extra info
The jackfruit is explicitly described as an accord, not a natural fruit extract. Turmeric appears twice in the official pyramid: leaf in the opening and root in the heart. Zoologist calls the fragrance an “Extinct Tropical Fougère,” linking its aromatic structure to its vanished animal subject.
