Zoologist Perfumes Orchid Mantis is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Tomoo Inaba. Orchid Mantis settles into a heart of Night-Blooming Jasmine, Musk, Green, and Bergamot. Zoologist Perfumes's Orchid Mantis carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its hyper-realistic tropical garden vibe, others are convinced it smells like an old lady, bathroom cleaner, or even worse. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're into bold, green florals, it might just be your next love.

Its beast-mode projection and longevity make it too potent for an office, potentially overwhelming colleagues. However, the strong, distinctive floral and green character, often described as 'tropical' or 'garden-like', makes it suitable for casual wear or an evening date where it can truly shine.

About

Orchid Mantis unfurls with a blast of vivid green and bright citrus, reminiscent of a humid rainforest canopy. Lush white florals like jasmine and ylang-ylang take centre stage, dripping with nectar. As it settles, a woody and earthy base emerges, with sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli adding depth, perfectly capturing the essence of a mysterious, dewy jungle floor with a hint of sweet pear.
