The four scents that feature as part of the ‘Eau De Twycross’ range, include Eau D’Ape – a fragrance dedicated to the most notable species in the Zoo’s history, with undertones of sweaty chimp pheromone and left-over vegetables. Paying homage to the 25 Humboldt penguins at Twycross Zoo, By The Penguin Pool scent encapsulates the distinctive smell of the penguins’ feeding time and is sure to leave a lasting impression for passers-by.
Hard-hitting and strong, the Radiating Rhino fragrance comprises of a deep mix of earthy scents, organic soil, arid sands and musky dung, whilst the final fragrance, Monkey Business, is inspired by the variety of monkey species who call Twycross Zoo home and features deep woody notes combined with moist plant scents.
