Orchid Mantis Zoologist 60 ml

Zoologist Orchid Mantis

Orchid Mantis Zoologist is a new unisex fragrance, released in 2025 and signed by the perfumer Tomoo Inaba.

The Concept:

In the humid shadows of the tropical forests, the orchid flower sways delicately and seductively. Its dewy petals shimmer as they tremble with yearning, inviting a passing butterfly to complete the intimate ritual of pollination. The butterfly is drawn to the flower's silky charm and approaches with passion, but the moment it prepares to land, the exotic flower suddenly transforms—its delicate leaves morph into dagger-like stems, gripping the butterfly's fragile wings. Before it realizes its fate, its head is crushed between the jaws of the Orchid Mantis, camouflaged within the flower.

The Scent:

Orchid Mantis by Zoologist pulls you into a captivating aromatic illusion; juicy Pear notes intertwine with luxurious Rose and delicate Jasmine, together creating an intense scent that mimics the aroma of the orchid, set within the warm, rainy forest atmosphere evoked by notes of Patchouli, Moss, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Finally, the lasting Musk solidifies its presence as a captivating message: that beauty can also be predatory.
