A sweet fruity smell
As a preface, I have not tried the original zoologist bat, or their new version of bat.
The opening of night flyer starts with a sweet fruity smell (banana / fig notes), immediately followed by what I would call a wet, damp, mineral accord.
During the drydown, the fruity notes disappear first, followed by the mineral accord, and the vetiver becomes more prominent.
For the fruit notes, I do not find them to be photorealistic to either Cavendish bananas (low isoamyl acetate), Gros Michel Bananas (high isoamyl acetate), or figs.
That being said it is believable enough. When focusing on the mineral accord, I sometimes perceive an almost sodium salt-iness.
Not table salt, but a bit more synthetic, perhaps something like epsom salt. It is very faint and does not take away from anything.
I don't get any animalics (musky fur). It's a nice and fresh scent, easy to wear in my opinion. I do wish the fruity notes were more accurate and that the longevity / strength was increased ; the longevity on my skin was about 4 hours until skin scent (after 2 sprays).
