Zoologist Chipmunk was created by Pia Long and launched in 2021. Inspired by the Chipmunk scampering about in an autumn forest, gathering nuts. This is one of Zoologist's most wearable and easy going scents.
Zoologist Chipmunk captures an autumn forest bursting with ripe nuts. Juicy quince, dusted with cardamom and nutmeg, dangles tantalizingly among naturalistic woods and green, milky kernels. Chipmunk invites you up into the branches, offering a dazzling vantage point from which to enjoy the rich golden and russet hues of the changing seasons."

From the brand -"The lush green of the treetops fades to a dull gold. What seems a peaceful transition actually raises a blaring alarm to the creatures below. Time is running out. But for generations, mighty oaks have fulfilled a promise to provide, and leaves are not the only bounty tumbling to the forest floor. Chipmunks scurry among the detritus in their quest to collect the plumpest acorns. They eagerly gather what they can and, cheeks bulging with nuts, scamper home to line their snug burrows before falling leaves give way to biting snow.
Reviews of Zoologist Chipmunk
Fragrantica - "I've been searching for the perfect nutty fragrance to add to my collection, and this is it. 'Chipmunk' is simply delightful: a woody hazelnut burrow, sprinkled with spices and furriness. It opens with the smallest hint of freshness from the quince and mandarin, but the oak and hazelnut are front and center here. The earthy notes are dry, yet smooth and not harsh. The perfect amount of sweet nuttiness without leaning gourmand. 'Chipmunk' is a friendly fragrance, but also interesting, with great sillage that lasts all day on my skin. This immediately became one of the my favorites from Zoologist Perfumes, and a love at first sniff for me."
Fragrantica - "The first spray makes me smile... hazelnut and, maybe because we eat so much Nutella, I get chocolate too. But I think my brain made that connection on its own. Lots of nut smells and a frothy milkiness with light wood. I get some of the quince, rich spicy fruit - just a touch. It's maybe a little too gourmand for me, but clever for sure. I want to pour it on some ice cream. After an hour (and a walk outside) it's much more powdery and woody, still creamy, which is a pretty effect after the edible opening."
Fragrantica - "The whispers of leaves crisp with every movement, the dry earthy air lingering about, and the deeply sweet nutty desires animals and humans alike seek out. This is the brisk wind sneaking past your scarf in the cool autumnal months as you clutch your coffee from your favorite brick-and-mortar local roaster. It's the first draw of breath you take in as you step outside late afternoon, completely bundled for a lazy world winding down to rest. Zoologist Chipmunk is everything you could ever hope to encounter from the regions of the world where trees graciously bow out for the season -- all without actually having to journey there."
