  Exquisite and gothic, a beautiful interpretation of a nocturnal butterfly. Smoky and medicinal opening from the oud, drying down to a sweet, dusty floral. Slightly more feminine but unisex. One of my favourites from Zoologist. Scent: 10, Originality: 10, Versatility: 7.5, Season: autumn and winter, Quality: 10, Price: 7, Sillage: 10, Longevity: 10, Design: 10. Overall rating: 9.

  Spiced work of art. Brutal opening with dark honey and that camphorated mothball scent. After an hour of storming, it leaves a smoke of incense with a hint of honey. A bit feminine, ideal if you like orientals and incense. Too baroque for everyday life. 100 ml is too much; better go for 30 ml or the 10 ml vials they sell. A must-buy if you’re a collector, but don’t even think about it if you haven’t tried it.

  At first, it’s a beast: a medicinal scent with oud and resins that’s quite challenging, but if you stick with it, the spices (clove and nutmeg, absolutely intense) take your breath away. Then the iris arrives with a touch of talc and camphor, softened by a hint of honey that doesn’t sweeten too much. Finally, the incense and medicinal notes return, but now balanced. It’s a fragrance that mutates very slowly, ideal for testing and enjoying, but beware: it projects like a tank and smells of a wood workshop, not nature. Only for the brave seeking a niche experience; not for easy wear.

  At first, it’s hard to handle; you need time to understand it. People frown, but it has a thousand nuances. The opening explodes with medicinal notes from the oud, resins, and smoke, very aggressive. Then, without warning, the spices take control: clove and nutmeg that knock you out. In the middle, the flowers arrive with a camphorated and talc-like touch from the iris; the spices drop in intensity and a soft honey appears that calms without being too sweet. At the end, that incense and medicinal tone returns, but now balanced and pleasant. It’s an aroma that mutates slowly to delight experts. Be careful with the projection, it invades everything; use it with moderation. It’s an olfactory experience for perfume lovers, not for daily wear.

  Wow, what a beast! Moth is pure madness, rare and highly intentional. It smells of spices stored in an old trunk, with plenty of clove and cinnamon giving it a dusty touch. Then comes a medicinal oud and a honey note I’ve never tried before, all mixed with a persistent smoke. At first, it’s alarming, but once it dries down, it enters vintage territory: flowers like mimosa, iris, and rose, but the king is heliotrope, that scent of 70s perfumes my grandmother would wear. It’s elegant, mysterious, with a base of wood and camphor. Imagine a cold night in the woods, opening a wardrobe and seeing the moths escape. It’s unisex, but leans more towards her. On my skin, it lasts over 12 hours; the first four hours are like walking beside me with people staring fixedly. Don’t use it in heat; it’s for autumn and winter. On my clothes, it still smells of flowers and honey, surely even after washing. Fair price for what it offers. If you’re looking for something off the beaten track, it’s a work of art worth every dollar.

  As Memorias says, it’s one of the rare ones from Zoologist. On my skin, it’s a whirlwind that changes every time. The opening is animal, mixed with honey, resins, oud, and pepper, giving a brutal impact. Then it becomes talcum-like, smoky, cold, and camphorated, like a mothball in a closed drawer. That sweet animal mix with mothballs gives it a certain je ne sais quoi of a sexy zombie, like Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Over time, the light notes fade and it becomes heavy, spiced, and sweaty from nutmeg. It has strong projection that drops until it disappears in 8-10 hours. It’s mature, unisex leaning towards feminine, perfect for cold nights or rainy days as a personal treat. It’s not my style, but I see potential for steampunk or Victorian people on elegant nights. Pleasant: 6/10, Interesting: 9/10, Versatile: 5/10, Original: 10/10.

  It starts with a touch of talc or powder (I suppose iris), followed by sweet clove and cinnamon woods. From there, black pepper spices everything and the scent becomes realistic, like sawdust, explaining why many say it smells like an old house; for me, it’s more like a carpentry shop. As it dries, a honey note appears that I didn’t notice at the start. The dry down is fantastic: dark, smoky, and woody. I would definitely wear it.

  At first, it smells of dust or talcum powder (perhaps the iris?), then it moves into a sweet clove and woody or cinnamon notes. Afterwards, black pepper spices everything and realistically reminds me of sawdust, explaining why it’s called the smell of an old house. For me, it’s more the smell of a carpentry workshop. When it dries, I notice honey that I didn’t feel at the start. I like it; the dry-down is fantastic: woody, dark, and smoky. I would definitely wear it.

  I wish it smelled of official notes, because on my skin it smells like my grandmother’s clothes stored with mothballs. I had to take it out of the house because everything smelled of decant. I wore an atomiser before an event and the guy next to me kept leaning over to move away. By 10 hours the next day, it already smelled of an older person’s sweat. It’s an artistic scent that only goth or avant-garde perfume lovers will adore. Unfortunately, the longevity and trail are incredible.

  I thought it would smell of mothballs, but upon spraying, it’s a bomb of honey, incense, and spices so sweet I almost confused it with Bee. As it dries, the sweetness recedes, leaving a powdery, woody, spicy, and slightly medicinal scent, nothing like an old wardrobe. It reminds me more of a spiced vintage floral perfume or a quality incense stick being lit. It’s challenging and not for everyone, but if you know the niche world, it’s fascinating and I loved it.

  I bought a decant thinking it would smell of mothballs, but the opening is a bomb of honey and incense, super sweet, spiced, and resinous. For a moment, I thought I’d been sold Bee, but as it dries down, everything changes: it leaves a dusty, woody, spicy, smoky scent with a medicinal touch. It doesn’t smell of an old wardrobe, but of a spiced vintage floral reminiscent of quality incense when lit. I loved it; it’s challenging and difficult for those unfamiliar with niche perfumery, but if you know the brand, it’s a fascinating fragrance.

  Like other Zoologist jewels, Moth doesn’t smell of moth itself, but of its lair: an abandoned place where aristocratic elegance rots among dusty, expensive furniture. It is the terrifying grey moth that fears the light, crafted from dark honey that isn’t sweet, vintage late-19th-century flowers, mysterious incense, and an oud that provides only fleeting depth. It doesn’t smell of nature, but of industrial woods from a workshop. It is pure gothic, Tim Burton style, ideal for anyone who wears striped tights or enjoys steampunk and psychobilly. I liked it, but it’s so potent and decadent that I doubt I’ll ever finish the 60 mL bottle; it’s brave, challenging, and perfectly captures that sense of rarity.

  Zoologist doesn’t depict real moths, but their environment: an abandoned mansion, dust, expensive furniture, and that air of aristocratic past that no longer exists. It smells of bitter dark honey, vintage flowers from the late 19th century, mysterious incense, and an oud that adds depth without being the star. It’s pure gothic fragrance, Tim Burton style, perfect for someone wearing striped tights or a steampunk look. It’s powerful, decadent, and difficult to understand, the strongest in my collection and one I’ll never finish. Forbidden for the general public, but if you like the unusual, it’s a hit.
