Zoologist Moth
Inspiration
A room lit by a single lamp; dust dances in the beam. The night is quiet until a pale wing circles the glow — a hush, a pause, a slow orbit closer. Moth captures that gravity of light: a flare of black pepper, cinnamon, clove, cumin and lemon — crackling, ember-warm — that softens into a powdery plume of heliotrope, iris, jasmine, mimosa, muguet and rose. As it drifts lower, the air thickens with honey and resins, the grain of guaiac and patchouli, and a shadow of smoke. Nagarmotha, oud, vetiver and musk sketch the dark velvet outside the circle, while a gentle ambergris glow keeps the flame alive. It’s a fragrance that sings in a whisper: tender, gothic, mesmerizing — a slow approach and a beautiful surrender.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
A velvet-dark floral that feels both intimate and dramatic. The spicy spark is thrilling, the honey-powder heart is plush without becoming syrupy, and the resin/oud/smoke base wraps like a black cashmere shawl. Elegant, moody and long-lasting — superb for cool evenings, concerts, and slow winter weekends.
