Zoologist Perfumes Moth is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Tomoo Inaba. Moth opens with Lemon, Pepper, Cinnamon, and Clove, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Smoke and Honey. Zoologist Perfumes's Moth carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Divisive yet utterly captivating, Moth is either a gothic masterpiece evoking forgotten attics and smouldering enchantment, or a dusty, medicinal mess. You'll either love its unsettling beauty or find it completely unwearable.

Its potent projection and distinct, 'arty' character make it less suitable for everyday office wear, with many finding it unwearable for work.

About

Moth unfurls with a potent, almost liturgical opening of dark, warm spices and a fleeting zest of lemon. This quickly mellows, developing into a dry, powdery heart where honey-drenched florals like rose and iris intertwine with an antique, dusty quality. The base deepens into a smoky, resinous warmth, reminiscent of old wood and smouldering incense, embracing a curiously comforting, almost melancholic sweetness.
