Inspirations

Their daily lives take place hidden from view, concealed by sophisticated camouflage. The intricate pattern of their wings blends them into a rugged backdrop of bark and rock. When they finally come to life, even their flight remains invisible, cloaked by the veil of night. Moonlight glitters on a fine coat of tiny hairs as their feathery antennae guide them in their search for a mate. Only one temptation can divert them from their mission. If they succumb to the lure of the flame, their desire to reproduce risks being dashed in a puff of smoke and a shower of ash.

At first touch, the rich, dark aroma of Zoologist Moth surprises, but soon it bewitches. A burst of deep spices awakens the senses before melting into a powdery veil of honeyed rose and delicate florals. Slowly, it spreads its wings, rising on an exotic journey of nagarmotha, guaiac wood, and patchouli. In the background, a smoky note lingers, a constant reminder of the danger lurking in the enchanting glow of the flame.
The perfumer: Tomoo Inaba

Tomoo Inaba is a talented perfumer who rose to prominence thanks to his collaboration with Zoologist, for whom he created Nightingale in 2016. This initial success opened the doors to the industry and allowed him to compose Tuberai for the Californian brand Beau Kwon. Passionate about creating unique olfactory accords, he often draws inspiration from Japanese poetry and culture, as evidenced by his work on Moth, originally named Kagaribi (The Cressets), evoking a nocturnal flame. Specializing in spicy and smoky notes, he uses rare ingredients such as guaiac wood, nagarmotha, and Indian vetiver to translate his olfactory visions. His avant-garde approach blends tradition and modernity, resulting in fragrances that are both bold and timeless.
