The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 by Zoologist Perfumes, Bat is a distinctive aromatic fruity fragrance designed to evoke the natural world. Created by perfumer Ellen Covey, it opens with Soil Tincture and Banana, creating an earthy and tropical contrast that captures the essence of the forest floor. The heart blends Fruity Notes and Tropical Fruits with Green Notes and Resins, adding a lush, vibrant layer. The base notes of Myrrh, Musk, Vetiver, Leather, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean ground the composition in warmth and depth, making it both familiar and exotic.
Apply Bat to pulse points for a layered experience. The Soil Tincture and Banana top notes are strong initially but will give way to the warm base notes within an hour. This fragrance is best suited for evenings or cooler weather, where its earthy warmth can fully shine.
