Scendira stocks 41 Zoologist pieces and every single one is catalogued unisex. Prices run tightly from $200 to $240. The dominant families are fresh (16 pieces) and woody (9), with gourmand (6) and floral (3) rounding out the range. Top accords are spicy, woody, green, sweet, floral and fresh. Standout picks: Toucan (tropical fruit salad with creamy florals and clove), Harvest Mouse (toasty sweet bread with spicy clove tea and creamy vanilla), Lovebird (fruity green garden fizz with musky vanilla mist), King Cobra (earthy cumin tea with mossy leather and smoky resin), and Musk Deer (spicy musky cedar with soft floral incense).
