After trying Red Admiral Butterfly from Nui Cobalt’s Critter collection, I tried Blossom Bat from the same collection the next day. I tried to apply a bit more because I didn’t really smell Red Admiral Butterfly during the day. This is an oil perfume and I have it in a 1 ml sample. I have been looking forward to getting this perfume for months. I am interested in it because of the fig note especially, but all the other green and fruity notes appeal to me as well.
Notes: Humid rainforest blossoms laden with nectar, dense moss, passionfruit, black fig, and bamboo.
I did try to apply more perfume this time, but I wonder if this perfume is also just stronger than Red Admiral Butterfly. I got wafts of it through the day which was really nice! This is a cozier scent than I expected, more green and musky than fruity. I definitely get some soft, pillowy moss and maybe bamboo. This is not a sharp or bright green. I really get a softness from this that is similar to their suede. I don’t usually like suede but it works here. I don’t get passionfruit which I feel like is unique enough to easily recognize, but I can get a faint fruitiness that could be the fig or nectar. Initially, I got some floral aspects that made me think of this perfume as soft and pink but it isn’t too strong once the moss comes in. Overall, this is a very pretty, cozy, mossy scent. It is a good interpretation of a blossom bat! Definitely different from Night Flyer from Olympic Orchids because that one is more mineralic water, cave, and fruit based. I was curious to see how similar they would be since they are both based on bats. I think I might like this one more on a daily basis but they are both for totally different vibes. I really enjoy this one and I think it is a nice, gender neutral, mossy scent with a hint of sweetness.
