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.

Dodo Jackfruit Edition 2023 By Zoologist main accords
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.

smells amazing !!!

I never tried the original Dodo but this one smells amazing !!!
It opens very green and fresh then as I dries I get more fruity vibes.
Longevity seems ok, sprayed on about 3 hours ago and keep getting little blasts of scent when I move.
Highly recommended x

best version

The best version of Dodo yet. I've never smelled fresh jackfruit, so I can't say whether the accord is successful, but it does have a tropical feel. I actually didn't picture jackfruit to have a particular smell or flavour at all, since it is often used as a meat substitute thanks to its texture.

I remember when Chameleon and Dodo had their releases intertwined in 2019: they were both marketed and teased as a duo, scents based on islands (Madagascar and Mauritius) and sharing a tropical theme, but they didn't have similar smell profiles. Now, they are definitely siblings, whereas the first two versions of Dodo were not even relatives to Chameleon, more like acquaintances. Chameleon is the more unisex of the two, but not necessarily the most wearable. This one wears quite well, but still has that Zoologist quirkiness that makes it stand out.

This one here smells mostly like banana to me. Not at all like the banana in the original Bat; more like a sweet, candied, almost artificial banana, which I actually like a lot. To me, this perfume has two defined phases: the initial sweet, crisp banana and later on, the powdery, woody orris. The latter phase is also reminiscent of some sort of popular laundry detergent or cleaning product, I can't put my finger on what it reminds me of exactly, but my memory is definitely triggered here.

No trace of cumin at all here for anyone who, like me, greatly despised the 2020 formulation

perfect

Far less overpowering than the original. The jackfruit mixed with turmeric instead of cumin, sage and rosemary get rid of most of the sweaty armpit accord. Its floral and a bit sweet with heavy tonka on the dry down.

Very good

I have had this for a while now (benefit of living in Toronto near Zoologist) and I really like it. I despised the original Dodo and its BO scent (from black currant? Feather?). The Jackfruit with the bergamot really adds a nice touch to this fragrance.

In any case, this is a nice cool weather scent. Not my favourite from Zoologist, but I liked it enough to buy a 10ml travel spray.

Definitely a try before you buy fragrance IMO.

very nice

I totally get the jackfruit in this fragrance (stronger in the opening) but ultimately the scent as a whole has a men's aftershave vibe. Also dries down very powdery. It smells really nice (a bit vintage and very mature) but definitely masculine to my nose and not something i would wear as a female. Would work great on a man for casual everyday wear IMO. I have never tried the original version so cannot compare but this one does remind me of Bana Banana from L'Artisan.
