Harvest Mouse ( Limited Edition) By Zoologist Extrait de Parfum

This is gorgeous. Of course I could be bias, Luca Maffei is one of my favourite perfumers. Its a semi gourmand to my nose. It certainly has some fruity tones to it, along with warm hay, mild grassy notes and light chamomile. It opens with lashings of orange blossom and davana, and plenty of benzoin. And what I recognise as hops, a melange of citrusy tones along with floral fruity notes, light woods, resins and berries swathed in light boozy notes, is present here as well. It also has a soft creamy tone, plenty of vanilla, it offered to me a warm bakery vibe that was quite delectable. Its also quite persistent, longevity is amazing and will leave you compulsively sniffing your wrist. I personally couldn't put it down.

This perfume is cool. It is a really unique vanilla scent. The hay and beer are the strongest notes for me. It’s definitely giving barn but in a cozy way. When I put this on I think of those illustrations of animals living in mini houses inside tree stumps or in the walls of a persons house. Like a mouse curled up in a bed made out of a matchbox and he uses a napkin as a blanket and has a cork for a table. I wore it to the renaissance fair and it felt perfect for that occasion. Super wearable but still unique and intriguing. Great performance for projection and longevity. Overall 9/10

Harvest Mouse begins as quiet herbs and chamomile. After about 30-40 minutes, there is a fleeting, pleasant yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) smell followed by a pleasant sweet aroma of sandalwood, vanilla, and resinous notes.

What a fantastic mouse! It's a vanilla-amber beauty. The scent is sweet but not sticky, pleasant and unisex.
This is among the most delicate and versatile of Zoologist.

There's nothing challenging in Harvest Mouse, but it's a perfume that gives an immediate sense of cozyness. It has an elegance that warms the heart with its non-invasive sweetness.
It is gentle, but not weak... in fact, I found that it radiated from my skin from time to time, enveloping me in this sweet and gentle aroma. Very nice indeed! I get a longevity of about 7 h on my skin, a lot more on clothes.

Zoologist is one of my favorite perfume houses. Harvest Mouse is a great addition and does not disappoint IMHO.

a lovely fragrance that captures the essence of the harvest mouse. warm yet not overbearing, sweet and floral, slightly fruity and grassy/green. perfect for any time of year, though personally it reminds me of sugar-crusted fruit often eaten during the winter holidays. it almost reminds me of the delicious sugar-tart scents of bath and body works, but higher quality and more expensive. a hint of booziness makes it more alluring, classy, and mature than b&bw.
a delightfully unique yet pleasing perfume that is appealing and fairly wearable, especially compared to zoologist's more challenging fragrances.

Harvest Mouse represents its animal perfectly, in my opinion. The beer note is what gives the fragrance an antropomorfized profile, absolutely in accordance with the portrait from the bottle. This is a mouse that sometimes goes further than the fields, makes friends with humans, maybe plays some cards with them at the pub on an autumn day.
For me this fragrance was a love at third smell. The first time I sprayed it, it felt like a big ol, slightly skanky nothing. Next time I was like ‘Okay, there’s something about it’ and from then on, it was a love story.
I am constantly surprised how much this scent agrees with me without ever being boring or underwhelming. Yes, there’s a lot of coziness to it, some sweetness, but on my skin there are a lot of cheeky surprises as well. I can feel the hay, the beer, the embrace of the autumn afternoon sun.
The animal kingdom is full of nuances and Harvest Mouse perfectly portrays a softer, cuter, dreamier side of it.
