by Zoologist Perfumes
Cow by Zoologist Perfumes is a clean, lightweight fragrance centered around a fresh green apple opening that transitions into a subtle, creamy milky accord. The scent evokes a soft, pastoral meadow—reminding many of a child’s bath with a faint, powdery sweetness, clean linen, or a delicate apple-scented body lotion. The lactonic notes are faint but present, contributing a cool, milky texture that feels both serene and slightly surreal. Herbal green elements like sage, grass, and vetiver are evident but understated, blending seamlessly with heliotrope, lily-of-the-valley, and violet to create a floral-powdery core. Over time, the fragrance becomes intimate and skin-scent-like, with minimal projection and non-intrusive sillage. It performs best in warmer months, particularly spring and early summer, and will likely appeal most to those seeking a safe, feminine-leaning unisex scent that's easy to wear in daily settings. While the scent is consistent and wearable, some users find their own experience lacks depth, declaring it more of a polished, semi-synthetic perfume reminiscent of body lotions or baby shampoos than a truly challenging or transformative olfactory experience.
