Description

Orchid Mantis is Zoologist Perfumes' elegant tribute to one of nature's most fascinating masters of disguise. Inspired by the orchid mantis, an extraordinary insect that mimics delicate flower petals to lure its prey, the fragrance captures the contrast between innocent beauty and hidden instinct.

The composition opens with a sparkling blend of juicy pear, mandarin orange, lemon, fresh ginger, and aromatic basil, creating a bright and vibrant introduction. The heart blossoms into an opulent bouquet of orchid, jasmine sambac, ylang-ylang, rose, and violet leaf, delivering a creamy floral richness with subtle green facets. As it settles, white musk, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, and moss provide a smooth, velvety foundation that adds depth while preserving the fragrance's radiant floral character.

Graceful, exotic, and quietly seductive, Orchid Mantis balances sparkling fruits, luxurious white florals, fresh greenery, and refined woods, creating one of Zoologist's most sophisticated and captivating floral compositions.
