  1. If we’re talking about perfumes that teleport you, Bat is the definition of a bat cave: it has everything! It smells of tropical cavern humidity. It’s a very interesting and innovative fruity and earthy scent. Ideal for collectors looking for something unique. Rating: 4 out of 5.

  2. I bought the travel spray and applied two sprays to my arm. In hot and humid weather, I absolutely do not recommend it; I’ve worn it for nearly a month and haven’t applied it since. The extrait de parfum is practically unwearable: it’s not clean, not sexy, and not pleasant for most people, and it clings heavily. It smells dusty and old. It’s a piece of art, but very few can wear it without having a bad time. If you want to try it, look for the Eau de Parfum; it’s much better. To use it with any chance of success, you need a lower concentration of this rather strange piece.

  3. Bat by Zoologist is a direct ode to a bat, but it doesn’t smell like one; it smells like a cave! I perceive it as fruity leather with a strong dark touch. Imagine a banquet of fully ripe fruits inside a humid cave with roots, where elegantly dressed forest creatures are feasting, and in the background, the host with a bat’s head welcomes you with wine. Bat is a great perfume; it successfully achieves its aim. Its resins with the fruity accord give a beautiful twist to the earthy note, which, together with the leather, supports the harmonious fruity aura of this atypical and dark Zoologist. Excellent performance, highly recommended for autumn and winter.

    No more, no less: this is the best explanation my partner and I could come up with. It smells exactly like the caves in Chiapas, Mexico, where there are bats and lots of humidity. The nose of this interesting and brilliant fragrance gets a 10 for perfectly emulating the aromas of a cave. Furthermore, this house has a different and quite original concept. Greetings from Veracruz.

  5. My day with Bat stretched into the night because I didn’t want to stop feeling that enveloping sensation of being in a totally wild place. The sweet opening accords (Zoologist works the top notes like few other houses) transport you to a wild place… and what follows is even more intense. Literally, you’ll smell wet earth after rain, and that tingle that scent gives will hit you immediately. And it will stay… for hours you’ll be in another jungle where it rains and you dominate it perfectly, where you can hunt, fly, and rest whenever you please. So, whenever you please, because Bat awakens an untamed side in you. I read that Bat was a Rock Star… I like that, but I don’t agree. Bat is Funky. It’s cool and likes to stand out, but without losing a shred of its individuality. Unintentionally, I found myself lip-syncing to ‘Upside Down’ by Diana Ross… It might seem funny, but the truth is it fits like a glove.
