Zoologist Perfumes 2015 EDP
Bat
by Ellen Covey
Zoologist Perfumes Bat is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Ellen Covey. Bat opens with Soil Tincture, Fruity Notes, and Banana, settles into a heart of Resins, Green Notes, Myrrh, and Fig, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Zoologist Perfumes's Bat carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.
This is a masterpiece of conceptual perfumery, embodying the divisive spirit of niche fragrances. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair; some find it a work of art, others unwearable. Don't even *think* about a blind buy unless you're a serious olfactive adventurer.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.
Best Occasions
Bat is a beast in terms of projection and longevity, and its intensely unusual, photorealistic damp soil and 'bat cave' aroma makes it wholly unsuitable for polite company or professional settings. It's too challenging for most dates and lacks the freshness or lightness for casual wear.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
