About
Chipmunk by Zoologist Perfumes is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. Chipmunk was launched in 2021. The nose behind this fragrance is Pia Long. Top notes are Nutmeg, Cardamom, Quince, Pink Pepper and Blood Mandarin; middle notes are Hazelnut, Oak, Earthy Notes, Chamomile and Balsam Fir; base notes are Animal notes, Cedar, Vetiver, Amyris, Guaiac Wood, Opoponax, Benzoin and Patchouli. The lush green of the treetops fades to a dull gold. What seems a peaceful transition actually raises a blaring alarm to the creatures below. Time is running out. But for generations, mighty oaks have fulfilled a promise to provide, and leaves are not the only bounty tumbling to the forest floor. Chipmunks scurry among the detritus in their quest to collect the plumpest acorns. They eagerly gather what they can and, cheeks bulging with nuts, scamper home to line their snug burrows before falling leaves give way to biting snow.Zoologist Chipmunk captures an autumn forest bursting with ripe nuts. Juicy quince, dusted with cardamom and nutmeg, dangles tantalizingly among naturalistic woods and green, milky kernels. Chipmunk invites you up into the branches, offering a dazzling vantage point from which to enjoy the rich golden and russet hues of the changing seasons.
