trying EVERY zoologist fragrance (part 1)

[@brittany9233]

While I dont love every fragrance from Zoologist, I highly respect the house for doing such a great job in really trying to capture the spirit of the animals the scents are named for and inspired by. My faves are Macaque Yuzu, Chameleon, Bee, Elephant, and Penguin but I appreciate several more. I've been looking forward to this video!

[@sweetpeace5]

Harvest Mouse❤

[@schnuds]

would love to see more of "trying perfumes from 1 brand"

[@jeanetteayala3770]

I have Zoologist Rabbit and it’s a masterpiece, I smile every time I smell it. Truly sipping tea and eating biscuits with honey in a crisp meadow( not a sharp grass accord)

[@perfumerism]

Yessss i have this one too!! I totally get a buttery scent from it- like a cookie butter or something!

[@mortviolette284]

Your comment about the 13 year-olds going crazy for these made me laugh. I find that so hard to imagine considering how unusual and niche these are. I find it hard to believe many kids that age would have a palate sophisticated enough to appreciate most of these. Thank you for reviewing these fragrances! Zoologist is in my top five favorite houses - I adore their scents, even if I wouldn’t wear all of them. Camel, Civet, Moth, Bat, Sloth, and Chipmunk are my favorites. Snowy Owl, Musk deer, and Trex are also pretty great. Dodo is the only one that made me feel a bit ill, but I was still impressed. It painted a vivid image of a large nesting ground of the birds - plants, rocks, bird poop and all!

[@helgacucumber3871]

My guess is that the concepts are sort of intriguing to kids because most perfumes have concepts that don’t speak to their experiences but everyone knows what a Panda is.

[@evietuelle]

as a 'girl that likes to thrift' - i just got a sample of Moth and I LOVE it ! Snow Owl an Penguin are also so so interesting to me, and Zoologists concept is just 100% my thing, like exactly what I've been looking for. Really enjoyed this video!!

[@anirudhnair4724]

Love how nuanced and knowledgeable the whole description is , the passion really comes through and made really appreciate the complexity or layers behind perfume as a concept. It almost seemed artistic and not just soulless commercial stuff! Or something along those lines for a passive consumer of the perfume industry!!

[@rrion1984]

Hello 😊. Cobra 🐍 actually in venomous and not a constrictor ✌🏻

[@perfumerism]

LOLL that shows how much I know about animals! Thank you!!

[@AlejandraQuezada-n1m]

Dragonfly smells stunning to me! It actually leaves me speechless. Somehow it feels simple but unique and comforting 💜

[@becca_smells]

omggg the excitement I felt when you said rotting leaves!! i've been looking for a decomposing leaf fragrance because it's the most beautiful to me; so nostalgic, like jumping in the leaf piles as a kid. will have to try northern cardinal, tyty!

[@denisenewnan4098]

Yes! Me too.

[@insanelystellar]

SO EXCITED FOR THIS SERIES!!! I absolutely adore this house and everything they do is just pure art, even if my nose disagrees. The ones I purchased as full bottles were Bat, Chameleon, Harvest Mouse, Cow and Rabbit. I was a bit saddened with Scarab that they did not lean more into the antiquity of the ambers, incense and wine... This is one I wanted to love but was a miss for me. I definitely need to check out Squid as this is the only want missing from my list... I can't wait to hear your opinions on the rest of the house! You have a beautiful way with words and your descriptions are perfect imagery of what these scents are trying to capture. Wonderfully done 🖤

[@manywaystodolife]

blocking out your feet from creeps is such a queen move lmaoo love the vid

[@perfumerism]

LOLLL thank u!!! i don’t need them on f**tfinder lol

[@Alliebrad17]

I’ve tried a few but the only one that was wearable for me was Hummingbird! A great spring scent, and it lasts an eternity

[@Gonzalo_K]

11:40 I'm pretty sure the reason why the perfumer (Sultan Pasha) chose a 1920's structure of aldehydes/florals/chypre it's due to a hommage to Guerlain Djedi (1927) which also refers to ancient Egypt, and the 1920's were an important revolution period for Egypt too so I think it makes sense they chose to follow that line

[@kerublue777]

I'd love to see these ranked in terms of wearability! Because I think we can all agree they're all very creative and unique. Looking forward to part 2!

[@blank9155]

So looking forward to part 2!! I'm really interested in the cuter animals like Cow, Rabbit, and Harvest Mouse. Love your vids!! 💗

[@BGalwah1]

I find the art work on the bottles amazing in the cutest possible way!

[@liv1639]

Just FYI, Cobras are one of the most venomous snakes, they're not constrictors so the scent you described is perfect for a cobra.

[@perfumerism]

Yes you are right! Someone clocked this the second I posted this video- completely my bad!

[@elioconnor7143]

I just love how *fun* Zoologist is, every scent is so different!

[@kimhanna123]

LOVE Zoologist!! So glad you went on this journey

[@breannacarels6479]

I’m new to you channel, but I really appreciate how you reviewed these. Looking forward to part 2. I’ve smelled a good many of the Zoologist line up. I own TRex and Chameleon and I’m interested in travel sprays of Moth and Elephant.

[@JillianHardin]

I couldn’t imagine someone better suited to review them! I’ve been looking forward to it since you showed everything! Thank you!

[@TheRaiderette69]

I can see the rankings now… wearable, okay but not for me, and hell to the no. I am so glad I got samples of the Zoologists ones I was intrigued by and not blind bought because they are specific, unique and not for everyone. I think a lot of them do much better in colder weather though so definitely try them in the fall and winter.

[@spenm77]

Cow is my only fragrance so far, and it's amazing!

[@SpiderWitch13]

Not only 13 years olds. Goths love moth and bat( old version)

[@TheLuminaric]

So far I have only tried Harvest Mouse (discovered it from your tiktok video) and I loved it, definitely thinking about a whole bottle. The brand is soo interesting though, true niche experience in my opinion

[@perfumerism]

I'm so glad you found a fragrance that interests you! Harvest Mouse is the most "commercial"/ '"palatable" so I have heard- the beer note is super interesting. Definitely a niche experience sampling all of these!!

[@lunara9158]

I’ve tried or smelled at least 10 zoologists and my favorite was mouse, zoologist went with the orange and vanilla which are the top notes I pick up

[@JuliaJiggs]

I was trying to wait until I was in Toronto to smell them in their show room, but a few weeks ago I gave in a got a sample of rabbit because I love carrot cake, and I do totally get that vibe 😋 it's pretty dense but it might be totally fine in the colder months

[@LazyLoonLazarus]

I own about half of the house in sample sizes, I'm looking to eventually collect the rest and maybe the retired scents for fun! It's genuinely my favorite house and although I may not wear all the scents I still want to eventually try them! The only ones I own in travel sizes are dragonfly and hummingbird, hopefully I'll get cow and king cobra next 😍

[@pindebraende]

Please do a part two, this was very helpful!

[@julia-ie3gi]

i love watching your videos youre so passionate and intelligent in the way you explain the fragrances! its quite refreshing to see ahah

[@TattooedEngineer]

12:44 kobras do not strangle, they bite, and their bites are venomous.

[@perfumerism]

Yes!

[@poedameron8198]

Great rundown on these Zoologist fragrances. I know they are not for everyone but sometimes people's nasal palate develops with time.🙂👌

[@perfumerism]

Absolutely!! I tried to be more harsh with my rankings bc whenever I say “I love it!” my followers will go blind buy them😫😫 it happened on Tiktok so Im trying to find a way to navigate reviewing these !!

[@alanaharvey8185]

OOOOOOOOO i been WAITIN for this one!!

[@devonlawton1149]

I'm dying to get my hands on cow, it sounds amazing from the fragrance notes listed, unusual in the best way. Can't believe how small they are, just the perfumer and a shop assistant from what I understand

[@1800CurlGirl]

I LOOOOVE Cow so much 🥰 it makes me feel like skipping through a meadow!

[@ppywaif]

Cow is my favorite scent! It smells just like a beautiful meadow where cute cows nap. I wish it projected a little stronger, but it makes me so happy and instantly brightens my day (*¯︶¯*)

[@jordanbelknap9168]

So excited for part 2! I would love to see a final ranking!

[@sererev]

I love the idea of the brand and I LOVE the artwork on the packaging! This was such a fun review and I'm looking forward to part 2. So far I've tried Bat, Elephant, Panda, and Bee. The first three were too skanky or sharp for me, but Bee is so so stunning, it smells like thick honey, beeswax and wildflowers. Incredibly potent too! I was always afraid of actually attracting bees when I wore it haha

[@myafigs6065]

Buying this sample set is 110% on my wishlist! I'm so curious!

[@LazyLoonLazarus]

😂 I'm commenting so much which is so funny, dodo is being discounted because dodo jackfruit just smells better and sells better I'm fairly sure. Also would adore a ranking of all of them but I would wait until orchid mantis comes out next year!

[@ohLookItsTide]

ooo i have been waiting for this video! I have zoologist Rabbit and Dragonfly and i really like them, i might get Panda, but i need to test it more i think

[@iKiki2k8]

Tyrannosaurus Rex id give to my worst enemy in a heartbeat lol! Rabbit and Penguin are my personal favs but Rabbit I’m OBSESSED!

[@hollyken3]

Zoologist is such an interesting brand!! Thanks for reviewing it

[@tlath4739]

Finally some quality entertainment for my lunch break 🫶🫶🫶🫶

[@thoughtsofmoss]

Can't wait for part 2!!

[@redcapmilk]

My best friend bought me a sample size of Bee way before I liked perfumes and as an average person, the smell of honey was so warm. One of my favorite scents.

[@Ayshafr]

I've been meaning to get more Zoologist samples but I own Squid, which I bought a couple years ago with a friend on a trip to NYC. I absolutely love that fragrance, it's such an easy wear while being unique. I don't like incense or marine notes but somehow Squid is perfect for me, and I never would have thought to try it if I hadn't been in a physical store. It makes me feel...put together isn't exactly it but it makes me feel good and confident. I remember trying Cow and that it was a very pleasant scent but I want to try everything. I think Zoologist is an interesting house and I love the concepts and especially the artwork on the bottles.

[@cloieandrysiak7589]

I am so excited about this series of reviews! I have been following Zoologist since 2020 and own a couple of them (bee and snowy owl). This house has fragrances that have the biggest swing of notes, in my opinion. There are ones that I absolutely love the opening, but the dry down has me gagging. Super interesting house, always keeps you guessing. I wish they would try an "everyday" animal... like what would their idea of a house cat smell like? I am thinking solar notes for lounging in sunbeam, but also dusty notes for hiding under beds. Or what would horse smell like to them? They would have to go beyond carrots, hay, and leather; those are too predictable. Just thoughts... I'm looking forward to yours on the rest of the line! Will you do this for other houses? (I would love to know your thoughts about Imaginary Authors and Kerosene)

[@ashleyw7868]

I was recently bought Rabbit, and was telling my husband they need to come out with a Sphynx cat! I own a Sphynx and it would be so interesting to see their interpretation of the earthy almost mushroom/soil scent of the cat’s skin with their interpretation of their environment.

[@theartofworthiness8266]

The thing I love the most about Zoologist is the perfume Bat was reformulated and re-released in 2020 🙌😂😂 the timing of this re-release!!! Haven't checked if you've sampled it yet (just started watching!) but to me, Bat is basically: Figs + $h!t in a hay barn

[@LazyLoonLazarus]

OOO!!! So excited, breaking the house up into two parts was smart. There are soo many perfumes, but the variety is really nice! I feel like the brand really knows how to capture the essence of the animal, Victor and the perfumers work hard to take everything into account for each animal and I love it. I enjoy all their fragrances for their uniqueness but I particularly favor Panda, Macaque Yuzu, Dodo Jackfruit, Cow, Hummingbird (my signature) and dragonfly (my summer signature). I really want to get king cobra 🥺 it's scent notes appeal to me so much!

[@Cameruption]

Waiting for part 2 🫡

[@kittehtoes]

Omg! Could you do a 1 brand review for imaginary authors? They just released a sample set for their entire collection!

[@Ozeana92]

So far I have tried bee, panda, elephant, dragonfly, hummingbird, seahorse, squid, moth, nightingale, koala, snowy owl, harvest mousse, chipmunk, chameleon, civet, camel and rabbit. My favourite was bee, while squid made me really nauseous.

[@RMRKatie]

I've tried hummingbird and bee. I'm obsessed with hummingbird, bee is also nice.

[@user-yk2gr8ep4i]

Scarab feeling/smelling 1920's would be to tie it into Egyptomania as Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered in that decade and there was a huge craze for everything Egyptian.

[@perfumerism]

So cool- thank you for telling me this!!

[@frtly]

I got the sample set too. I needed to spray it on my skin because i didn’t like any of them on the little paper thing. Some of the ones i loved on me were Seahorse, Squid, Bat, Chameleon, Camel, Snowy Owl, and Dragonfly

[@mushrooomtea]

I loveee seahorse! Also penguin was my first niche full bottle and I love it too, this video inspired me to spritz some on

i'm so picky with fragrance (my nose can really only stand super sweet fruity scents and gourmands lol) so i haven't tried any zoologist perfumes since they all seem out of my comfort zone, but they're sooooo intriguing to me

[@perfumerism]

Yess they’re definitely not my type in terms of perfume I like to wear, I look at them like those jelly bean roulette games haha

[@anamawsity]

[@kailyncorey8267]

Ima perfume newb..what is wearable? Is it how intense the scent is? Either way great video!

[@chicagowren]

Just this week I tried Musk Deer, Dodo, Moth, and Snowy Owl and it's a good thing that I TRIED them first because ... I can't! I don't get it at all. They're too strong, too heavy, too syrupy, too stinky. Dodo smells like body odor. My dog wouldn't come near me after one spray of Moth and my husband thought Musk Deer smelled like Nag Champa. I threw them all away. They made my throat itchy.

Have you seen Sabrina Carpenter has a fragrance coming out this week?

[@tootsiee_roll]

[@GoodFeeli]

THIS is the most wrong way to test Zoologist. Not only you don't spray on your skin which may give you a totally different impression. You're also judging it by first 3 minutes 🤣 that's hilarious. This house fragrances transformation is crazy. They change at least 3 times while you wear them during a day. It's a pretty worthless review 😄

[@perfumerism]

It doesn’t seem like you watched the full video, as I show you my drydown thoughts from several days later! Also Victor from Zoologist gifted me these himself, so I don’t think he has a problem with how I tried them! But noted that you would enjoy watching me try these on skin in the future! 💗
