Composed by Luca Maffei
When the owl takes over the night sky, the field mouse must already have full cheeks and a safe path to its nest. ZOOLOGIST Harvest Mouse smells of golden wheat, hay, chamomile, beer, and the woody warmth of home before winter.
Bergamot and clove open the composition brightly and spicy. Roman chamomile, davana, and hay absolute then build a dry meadow warmed by the last autumn sun.
Orange blossom and rose absolute provide a quiet floral layer, while CO2 beer extract brings a malty, slightly fermented richness. This is the scent of a country larder, not a pub.
Luca Maffei guides the composition through the moment when the wind plays with golden fields, and little mice gather seeds and fruit before it gets completely dark.
Benzoin, opoponax, fir balsam, oakmoss, cedar, sandalwood, Peruvian balsam, and vanilla later create a warm nest. The hay remains dry, while resins and wood keep the cold out.
Harvest Mouse is not an ordinary vanilla and hay perfume. It is chamomile, beer, and golden wheat stored among balsams and cedarwood — a nest warm enough while the owl circles above the fields.
