## Essence
Rabbit is Zoologist's green carrot-cake gourmand: cinnamon, apple, carrot, clover, violet, biscuit, vanilla, almond, hay, and musk arranged as pastry in a meadow. It is charming because it makes dessert smell alive, leafy, and slightly rustic rather than simply sugary.

## Scent Profile
The opening is sweet but green. Cinnamon, apple, bergamot, and vegetable leaves create the impression of carrot cake before the oven has fully left the garden: spice, fresh fruit, leafy carrot tops, and a crumbly biscuit texture.

The heart brings the rabbit habitat into focus. Carrot becomes clearer, clover adds meadow air, and violet gives a powdery floral veil. Jasmine softens the middle without turning it into a white-floral perfume. This is where Rabbit feels most unusual: edible, but also grassy and gently floral.

The drydown is creamy and cozy. Vanilla, white almond, biscuit, hay, patchouli, and musk create a frosting-and-straw effect, with hay giving the scent its rustic warmth. Some skin emphasizes the green carrot and hay; other skin turns it into sweet biscuit and vanilla. Either way, the signature is carrot cake in a field, not a bakery soliflore.

## Performance
Rabbit performs well but not endlessly. Projection is moderate-to-strong early, especially for people sensitive to sweet gourmands, and the scent can linger much longer on clothing than on skin. A small number of wearers find it faint, so sampling on skin matters. One or two sprays are usually enough.

## Wearing Context
Rabbit feels best in spring and fall daytime settings. It suits casual wear, cozy weekends, outdoor walks, relaxed dates, and comfort-oriented days. It is cheerful rather than formal and can feel too sweet in heavy heat. The opening is broadly unisex, while the creamy vanilla-violet drydown may read softer or sweeter.

## Comparisons & DNA
Zoologist Cow is useful for the crunchy apple connection, though Rabbit is warmer, sweeter, and less shampoo-like. Zoologist Harvest Mouse shares the cozy grain-gourmand comfort but is less carrot-green. Masque Milano Lost Alice helps locate the spiced-pastry side, while BeauFort London Lignum Vitae points toward biscuit warmth without Rabbit's meadow setting. Rabbit is distinctive enough to function as its own green-vegetal gourmand reference.

## Reception
Rabbit is widely liked for originality, comfort, and its faceted treatment of gourmand materials. The carrot-cake realism, hay, almond, and creamy vanilla make it memorable without requiring the wearer to enjoy Zoologist's more confrontational animalic work.

The split is about literalness. Some wearers find the carrot, hay, and warm-fur suggestion adorable and comforting; others find it nauseating, too heavy, or too sweet. Value sentiment is strongest among people who want a distinctive cozy gourmand and weaker among those expecting huge extrait performance.

## Versions & Reformulation
Rabbit is a single 2024 composition with no known reformulation. It is sold as a 60 ml extrait, with samples and travel sprays available, and has appeared in limited deluxe presentation. It is vegan.

## Acquisition Notes
Rabbit is a high-niche extrait and has had periods of strong demand. Sample first because the green, violet, carrot, hay, and vanilla facets shift noticeably by skin. Full bottles are best sourced direct from Zoologist or authorized stockists.
