Description
Zoologist Harvest Mouse opens with a bright, tart citrus burst of bergamot, complemented by the spicy warmth of cloves and the gentle, honeyed sweetness of Roman chamomile and orange blossom. As it settles, the heart reveals a rich, comforting blend of hay absolute and a distinctive beer extract, creating a unique, earthy sweetness. This is deepened by resins like benzoin and opoponax, alongside a touch of rose. The fragrance finishes with a cozy, grounding base of vanilla, sandalwood, cedarwood, fir balsam, and oakmoss, evoking the serene tranquility of a sun-drenched autumn field and the warmth of home-baked treats. Perfumer: Luca Maffei
