Bat – Extrait de Parfum

Zoologist's Bat transports you into the world of bats – mysterious, nocturnal, and shaped by the sultry lushness of tropical forests. Inspired by a night flight through dense jungle and damp caves, this Extrait de Parfum combines sweet fruit with earthy, animalic depth to create one of the most idiosyncratic Zoologist fragrances.

Bat smells earthy, fruity, and animalic: juicy passion fruit, fig, and pink guava open over a bed of damp soil – a contrast between sweet fruit and dark undergrowth – before hay, minerals, frankincense, and night-blooming jasmine intertwine at the heart into an atmospheric core reminiscent of a cave's dark corners, while the base of stone, animalic notes, leather, teakwood, and vetiver provides an earthy, animalic finish with lasting depth.

Bat works best in the warmer months, in the evening – a unisex fragrance for anyone who isn't put off by idiosyncratic, almost unsettling compositions.

What makes this fragrance special to us: the courage to bring sweetness and darkness together so bluntly – perfumer Prin Lomros lets fruit and animalics coexist without smoothing either one down.
