Zoologist Perfumes Bat is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Ellen Covey. Bat opens with Soil Tincture, Fruity, and Banana, settles into a heart of Resin, Green, 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.

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.

About

Imagine stepping into a damp, underground grotto where overripe tropical fruits like banana and fig have fallen onto rich, dark soil. This scent captures that earthy, humid atmosphere, weaving in green resinous notes and a subtle, musky leather accord that evokes something primal and wild. It's an olfactory journey from a fruity, almost fermenting sweetness to a deep, dark cave, punctuated by earthy vetiver and a hint of myrrh.
