Dodo vs Squid

The r/fragrance community views Zoologist Perfumes very positively, appreciating their art-driven approach and unique fragrances like Dodo Jackfruit. While the brand has strong demand and loyal followers, their niche appeal and production limitations mean they won't achieve mainstream success, which enthusiasts actually prefer.

Squid is a polarizing niche fragrance that successfully delivers on its oceanic, briny concept, but doesn't work well on all skin types—some find it transforms into unpleasant suntan lotion. Community consensus is mixed, with strong musk presence being a point of contention for those seeking alternatives without it.
