Moth by Zoologist Perfumes
2018 • Unisex

ZOOLOGIST PERFUMES
MOTH

Zoologist's Moth opens with an unexpected burst of warmth and spice, where cumin and black pepper intertwine with the sweet richness of nutmeg and clove. This piquant introduction is further brightened by zesty lemon and the luxurious touch of saffron. As it develops, Moth transitions into a more floral heart, with iris and jasmine leading the charge, softened by the powdery nuances of mimosa and heliotrope. This floral arrangement dances delicately with the subtle greenness of lily-of-the-valley, creating an intriguing contrast to the spiciness of the opening. In the dry down, expect a robust base of guaiac wood and oud that melds with the warmth of ambergris, honey, and a smoky vetiver, leaving a rich, lingering trail. Moth is best suited for those who appreciate bold and unconventional scents, making it an ideal choice for evening wear during the cooler months of fall and winter. Its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage mean you won’t have to worry about reapplying throughout a night out. This fragrance stands out in its category for its unique blend of spices and florals, appealing to both men and women who enjoy a complex signature scent. If you're drawn to fragrances like Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille or Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Grand Soir, Moth might just be your next favorite.

Moth opens on clove and black pepper before easing into a heliotrope and mimosa heart. Honey, smoke, and agarwood (oud) carry the base, which is where the wear ultimately lives. Expect a reasonable, well-behaved wear, not a beast, not a whisper. Hits hardest across fall and winter with a nighttime tilt. Most wearers settle on liking it (3.9/5) rather than loving it, a safe rotation addition.
