Enter a world of mystery, darkness, and hypnotic beauty with Zoologist Moth, a captivating unisex fragrance inspired by the nocturnal elegance of the moth. Created by perfumer Tomoo Inaba (稲葉 智夫), this extraordinary scent captures the delicate balance between attraction and danger, where shadowy spices, romantic florals, smoky woods, and mysterious resins create an unforgettable experience.

With a 20% perfume concentration, Moth unfolds like a dark romantic tale, drawing you deeper with every layer. It is a fragrance of temptation, transformation, and the irresistible pull toward the unknown.

The fragrance opens with an intense blend of black pepper, cinnamon, clove, cumin, lemon, nutmeg, and saffron. Rich spices create a dramatic first impression, while citrus brightness adds a subtle contrast, creating a mysterious and energetic opening.

At the heart, heliotrope, iris, jasmine, mimosa, muguet, and rose reveal a softer, more romantic side. Powdery florals blend with honeyed sweetness and delicate rose tones, creating a beautiful contrast against the darker opening.

The fragrance settles into a deep and atmospheric base of ambergris-inspired accord, honey, resins, guaiac wood, musk, nagarmotha, oud, patchouli, smoke, and vetiver. Smoky woods and earthy patchouli create a mysterious trail, while oud, resins, and honey add warmth and richness. A subtle smoky accord remains throughout, echoing the danger of a flame that draws you closer.
