Community Insights

Based on 31 discussions

The consensus on performance is positive, particularly for an aquatic fragrance; many enthusiasts report it lasts through a full workday and beyond without becoming cloying.
It is frequently categorized as a "botatnical" or "greenhouse" scent, often compared to other high-end tea or ethereal floral fragrances like Armani Thé Yulong or Vilhelm Room Service.
While it is a popular choice for those exploring the Zoologist house, users often recommend starting with a travel size or decant due to its specific watery and powdery nuances.
It is widely regarded as a versatile, professional scent that works well in office settings or for leisure, providing a calming "escape" from sterile environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dragonfly more for men or for women?+

While classified as a green floral, Dragonfly is used comfortably by all genders. Its emphasis on rain water, rice, and damp greenery makes it less "perfumey" and more atmospheric, appealing to anyone who enjoys nature-inspired scents.

How does the rice note affect the fragrance?+

The rice note is not "food-like" or gourmand in this composition. Instead, it provides a soft, creamy, and slightly starchy texture that bridges the gap between the bright citrus top notes and the powdery floral heart.

In which seasons does this fragrance perform best?+

This fragrance is most popular during the spring and summer. Its aquatic and fresh green accords are specifically designed to shine in warmer weather and high humidity, though it is often worn year-round as a clean daily scent.

How does this 2021 version differ from the original 2017 release?+

The 2021 formulation, composed by Céline Barel, leans more into the aquatic and vegetal aspects of a pond. While it maintains the spirit of the original, it places a greater emphasis on the rice and rain water notes for a more immersive "outdoor" experience.
