Harvest Mouse
Harvest Mouse by Zoologist is an unisex extrait de parfum from 2022 in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, clove, chamomile and orange blossom, moves into davana, hay, benzoin, opoponax and rose and dries down to pine, oakmoss, cedarwood, sandalwood, peru balsam and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
- Chamomile Herbal, apple-like and calming. Quiet and a bit hay-ish.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Heart
- Davana Odd and gorgeous — apricot jam, rum and dried herbs at once.
- Hay Sun-dried grass and tonka. Warm, rustic and comforting.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Opoponax Sweet myrrh. Balsamic, warm and slightly medicinal.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Pine Sappy and bracing. Straightforwardly outdoorsy.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Peru Balsam Vanilla and cinnamon resin. Deep and syrupy.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
