by Zoologist Perfumes
Harvest Mouse Zoologist is a soft, gourmand-inspired scent with a warm, cozy character that evokes baked goods, hay, and vanilla. It opens with delicate floral and herbal notes like chamomile and bergamot, then settles into a creamy, slightly sweet vanilla-amber base with subtle hints of hay, benzoin, and light balsamic notes. While described as evoking a harvest mouse in a field, it carries more of a wheat field and rustic bakery atmosphere than a literal animal counterpart, with a mild yeasty quality that brings to mind a light ale or bread-making environment. The scent is highly unisex, well-suited for cooler seasons, and performs with moderate longevity and subtle sillage. It is not bold or invasive, often feeling intimate and close to the skin—ideal for understated elegance in daily wear or quiet office settings. It lacks a strong olfactory statement, but delivers a comforting, gentle experience that many find appealing, especially for fall or winter atmospheres. Its quiet nature makes it more about mood than impact, making it a versatile, non-confrontational scent.
