Chipmunks meets Cinderella

One of the most beautiful filmed fairy tales of my childhood was "Three Nuts for Cinderella" - I don't know how many times I saw it. To this day, it's always on TV at Christmas. My daughter never wanted to watch that, then rather Barbie "The Twelve Hopping Princesses" and the "Chipmunks".......lost at sea and stranded on an island........always someone screaming Alvin.......and those distorted voices singing. So beautiful is different. But there's no arguing about taste. She fands great, has sung along fervently and was happy.

Chipmunk from Zoologist pleases me. Starts fruity, slightly peppery and is well spiced with nutmeg and cardamom. And then the hazelnut comes through very nicely, not the green one, but the roasted one. I love nuts in fragrances. Also the woodsy comes through, a coniferous forest.Towards the back out it becomes minimally animalic and powdery. But really just a touch. The guaiac wood pushes the nut, I think, because nuts have a subtle roasted aroma.
The whole scent is a whiff, but the longevity is better than sillage. This chipmunk I like, even if he does not radiate so. My nose hangs then just on the wrist.

Similar fragrances for me are Fat Electrician and Noir Exquis.

Nutella jar in the hutch?

I like the concept behind the Zoologist fragrances. I have also liked some good in the past, but unfortunately you all had a big shortcoming for me: they are much too strong for me.
That can be a fragrance with the theme of an elephant or rhinoceros now really resent, they are also quite imposing animals.
A squirrel scent, on the other hand, sounded pretty promising in my mind. A small animal, nimble, shy, soft, with a comfortable bed and of course a good helping of nuts.

I think that was perfectly realized. That's why I do not really understand the voices that the scent is not loud enough, I think it fits wonderfully to this animal just not so big and to be a little intrusive.
In fact, the fragrance lasts forever on me, just with a rather delicate sillage.

The top note is still a bit fidgety. I smell a lot of nutmeg, some pink pepper and something fresh-fruity, which could be the quince.
That dissipates relatively quickly, and in place of the Zappeligen creaminess, the chipmunk has made himself comfortable.
Briefly, you might think someone left an open Nutella jar in the pantry, but even that association remains gentle and blends well with the other notes.
I almost wished for more nuttiness from other nuts, but that might have been too much.
The scent has a bit of sweetness, but thankfully only as an extra. The first fiddle plays a creamy-gourmandig-woody impression.
On fabric and paper strips I could later smell a distinct animalic and patchouli, on the skin the heart notes last much longer with me, the base mixes in a bit, but does not take over.

A brave fragrance in the respect of breaking out of some expectations in favor of the concept. I find him very successful. Should there ever be a second version, I would perhaps like a little more forest and wet earth and a little less pantry.

Premature wrong conclusions and late insights

I was really excited about this fragrance and wanted to experience nut fireworks. I took part in the sharing and was disappointed. Cried and put it away. But never stopped hoping. Now, almost two years later, I'm picking up the bottle again and once again I have the feeling that I enjoy bottlings less and use them less than a large bottle.
I still find the fragrance very quiet and the regular price a little excessive, but the disappointing character I felt two years ago has disappeared. But on to the fragrance.

With an overdose of around 50% compared to the usual number of sprays used and different expectations, it's time to try again. And there is the hazelnut in the cuddly fur on my arm. Soft, fluffy, fluffy, tender. Initially hazelnut liqueur, later creamy tenderness. No surprises and a great progression. Anyone expecting prancing paws that change direction frequently will be disappointed. I like linear fragrances because they are predictable. I would also find it strange if my shirt suddenly changed color during the course of the day. Artistically you can certainly argue, but I don't like it.
I prefer to enjoy the fluffy cloud of fragrance on my arm. It could certainly radiate better and stronger and both the resinous and woody notes could be more present, but that's fine with me and I think those who like special compositions in the woody and almost gourmand range but don't want to be perceived as absolute will find a cozy companion here.

A Scurry of Chipmunks

Chipmunk is, IMO, similar to Harvest Mouse, or rather visa versa, in part because, while they do not smell the same, they are both warm, homey, comfortable scents, and in part because I had to name this avatar too. The chipmunk's name is Claire, and she is the leader of a scurry of Chipmunk Scouts in pursuit of their foraging badge.

I like the opening, spicy, fruity and sweet. I love the nutmeg here. There is a rich, quality which stays throughout the life of the fragrance. I found the projection and sillage to be quite strong at the top but becomes much softer in the heart and base.

On me, once the top notes start to fade, which is too quickly for me, the fragrance becomes somewhat, though not entirely, linear, which I didn't mind, as the scent is really beautiful. The hazelnut is blended so well with the woody notes. I just love it.

I like the animalic notes with woods in the base, but the fragrance starts to fade to a skin scent before they really get to stand out on their own. In terms of intensity, projection and sillage, the top performs like an extrait, but the fragrance soon begins to perform more like an EdT. For me, at this price point, that is a problem. Still, this is a beautiful fragrance, warm and cozy, perfectly unisex and appropriate for many different occasions in cooler weather.

creatures you wouldn’t want to meet in the dark

Zoologist's Chipmunk is a chipmunk who is a CEO of some mega-corporation that is actually a front for some shadowy organization which has been around for centuries and whose fanatical leadership is trying to open up a portal to another world and bring forth a demon god whose emergence on earth will usher in the end times. By which I mean it’s a cool, woodsy forest breeze, and something that smells earthy and dry, like the metallic tang of cold rocks, and of the nocturnal furry musk of creatures you wouldn’t want to meet in the dark. There’s nothing warm or sweet or cute or chipmunk-cheeked about it. It smells…ominous, somehow. These are oddly hollow woods, cursed woods, silent and strange wherein a twitchy-tailed, beady-eyed, rodent cyborg chipmunk is conducting a mandatory board meeting of imminent doom.
