Starts super fresh and green, with a weird mango touch at first and some coconut. The notes blend well, though sometimes one or another stands out. It’s a tropical fragrance that shifts depending on the moment. There’s a base note that smells like synthetic banana (could it be the ylang?) which becomes more noticeable as it dries. Then it turns very floral. I’m reminded of soap, sunscreen, the smell of a modern supermarket, an urban jungle made of plastic, or a shopping centre in the middle of the forest. I loved the opening and the dry-down suits me. I have a love-hate relationship with white flowers, but when they’re done well like here, I adore them.

Starts fresh and green with a light unusual mango and a bit of coconut. The notes blend well, appearing one by one. It’s a chameleon-like tropical fragrance with a constant note of synthetic banana (could it be the ylang?) that grows as it dries and becomes very floral. I’m reminded of soap, sunscreen, the smell of a modern supermarket, a synthetic urban jungle, or a shopping centre in the forest. I loved the opening and the dry-down is pleasant. I have a love-hate relationship with white flowers, but when they’re done well like here, I like them.
Coquita
Waxy and floral opening, like greasy petals or starfruit skin. Realistic and woody coconut with a sour touch of tropical fruits and a hint of spicy pepper. As it dries (1 hour), it becomes woody-sweet with cashmere and salt, leaving the flowers behind. The late dry-down smells of vanilla and waxy plumeria, very similar to Lush’s Sikkim Girls. With heat, the ylang rises; in moderate temperatures, the green facet comes forward. Good projection for 1-2 hours, then a skin scent until around 7 hours. Unisex with a feminine leaning, relaxed and jovial, perfect for dreaming of tropical holidays. It doesn’t smell like sunscreen or mojito, but rather balanced and elegant. Worth trying, though the price makes me hesitate. Pleasant: 10, Interesting: 9, Versatile: 7, Original: 10

Chameleon is super fruity and floral, with an ash-like start due to the intense floral notes that drop quickly. Ambered, tropical, and aquatic base, but balanced against the fruits and flowers. Frangipani, mango, coconut, and ylang stand out. It seems slightly feminine to me, original, and perfect for beach or green garden summers. Excellent performance. Gives good vibes and energy, and it’s easy to get to know Zoologist. Note: 8/10

Chameleon is a bomb of fruits and flowers, with an ash-like touch at the start due to that intense floral blend that fades quickly. The base is ambered, tropical, and aquatic, all very balanced against the power of the fruits and flowers. Frangipani, mango, coconut, and ylang-ylang stand out. It smells slightly more feminine on me, super original, and ideal for summer at the beach or in green gardens. It smells great, gives good energy, and is the easiest way to get to know Zoologist. Note: 8/10
Emorandeira
Chameleon is a spring jewel with a tropical soul. Coconut, frangipani, and mango dominate, with the mango being very present at the start. The florals, with ylang and jasmine, add elegance, while the aquatic note brings freshness for daily wear and heat. The base is sweet and soft with woods, resins, and vanilla. I love it! Performance is moderate, longevity is medium-high (6 hours) but projection is low. Unisex, better than CK One Summer in quality. Ideal for summer and spring. Scent: 9.5, Longevity: 7.5, Projection: 6.5, Value for money: 6, Versatility: 9, Originality: 9, Overall: 9

Chameleon is a spring jewel with a tropical soul: coconut, frangipani, and mango (the latter very present at the start) blend with a delicate floral touch of ylang-ylang and jasmine that adds elegance. The aquatic note adds freshness and softens the intensity, making it ideal for daily wear and heat. The base is sweet and soft with woods, resins, and a hint of vanilla. I love the scent! Performance is moderate, longevity is medium-high (around 6 hours) but projection is medium-low. It’s totally unisex, like CK One Summer but with much better quality. Perfect for summer, spring, and hot nights. Scent: 9.5, Longevity: 7.5, Projection: 6.5, Value for money: 6, Versatility: 9, Originality: 9, Overall: 9
