HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020, Zoologist Perfumes' Bat Edition 2020 by perfumer Prin Lomros weaves a complex blend of earthy and tropical notes. The fragrance opens with the bright, juicy burst of guava and passionfruit, quickly giving way to more intriguing elements like soil tincture and hay. This distinctive juxtaposition creates an unexpected contrast between freshness and rawness. At its heart, Bat Edition 2020 is anchored by vetiver and teak wood, which ground the composition with a woody depth that is further enhanced by incense and animal notes. The mineral and green accents provide a cool, fresh edge, while oakmoss and leather add warmth and complexity.
Apply Bat Edition 2020 to pulse points and let it settle for about ten minutes before going out. The soil tincture and mineral notes are subtle but distinct, so they benefit from a bit of time to bloom. This fragrance is best worn in cooler weather or indoors, where its earthy and animalic facets can be fully appreciated without overpowering the surroundings.
