A somewhat more conventional scent from
Zoologist, Nightingale is nonetheless a pretty chypre built around an
old-fashioned pairing of rose and violet. As in Chanel’s Misia, the rose gets a
raspberry jamminess thanks in part to the ionones and although some papery
associations aren’t too well covered in the earlier stages of the perfume’s
evaporation curve, the overall
development is pleasing and ultimately reveals a base that to me smells mostly of
labdanum, musks and a big dose of oakmoss replacer.
