The story: chillin in a mossy rainforest.
Sloth is beautifully slow green perfume. The formula is lazily climbing from the dark green of moss, hay and in the base – up – towards bright green of marigold and herbs in the top.

All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Sloth suits an afternoon with no urgent destination: a book left open, tea cooling nearby, rain darkening the trees outside. Chamomile gives the scene a familiar softness, while mushroom and moss keep it earthy and slightly untamed rather than conventionally comforting.
How to wear
Try Sloth in mild or cool weather, when its herbal top and darker mossy base can be appreciated without excessive warmth. Begin with one or two sprays on skin, leaving room for the chamomile, hay and earthy notes to unfold. Use a lighter application in heat or close shared spaces.
Who it’s for
For lovers of damp green textures, herbal fragrances and earthy woodland notes who welcome an animalic edge. Its chamomile-and-hay softness offers an approachable route into mushroom and oakmoss, but it is best suited to tastes that favor atmosphere over conventional freshness or sweetness.

The nose
Prin Lomros is a Thai independent perfumer behind PRIN, Prissana and Strangers Parfumerie. His work often explores contrasts between familiar comforts and more challenging earthy, smoky or animalic textures. For Sloth, he translated a brief about slowing down into an unconventional herbal-green composition.
Collaborators
Zoologist founder Victor Wong developed the concept and creative direction, asking Prin Lomros for a fragrance centered on relaxation rather than energy or seduction. His chamomile-tea ritual and interest in rainforest sloths supplied the herbal starting point and habitat imagery.
Zoologist’s story
Founded in Toronto by Victor Wong, Zoologist interprets animals through their habitats, behavior and smells rather than simply attaching animal names to conventional perfumes. Its compositions embrace beauty, playfulness and occasional discomfort. The house uses synthetic alternatives to animal-derived musks, although Sloth contains beeswax.
Sloth’s concept
Sloth began with Victor Wong’s desire for a perfume that suggested slowing down. Evening chamomile tea and vanilla-lavender candles inspired the initial herbal direction; a documentary about rainforest sloths supplied the mossy canopy setting. Lomros developed these ideas into a composition moving between bright herbs and darker moss, hay and earthy woodland textures.
Extra info
Despite its sleepy animal inspiration, Sloth gave some people an unexpectedly formal impression: Victor Wong recalled being told he smelled like a well-dressed executive while wearing it. The formula also contains beeswax, so the house’s avoidance of animal-derived musks does not make this fragrance vegan.
