The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 by Zoologist Perfumes, Chipmunk is a woody spicy fragrance crafted by perfumer Pia Long. It opens with the warmth of nutmeg and cardamom, giving way to a heart of quince and pink pepper that balances sweetness with fresh spiciness. The base notes of oak, vetiver, and guaiac wood create an earthy foundation that is both grounding and enigmatic, enhanced by subtle animal notes and balsamic touches.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for an even spread. The nutty and spicy top notes are vibrant but short-lived; focus on the base notes that will develop over time, providing a rich and earthy presence throughout the day.
