Zoologist Cow
Apple, sage, lily of the valley and milk
Cow is a pastoral picture: green pasture, a newborn calf taking its first steps, its mother's warm milk. Nathalie Feisthauer builds it from sage and apple, a heart of milk with lily of the valley, heliotrope, violet and jasmine, and a soft base of cedarwood, vetiver, benzoin, musks and amber. The brand aims for a familiar, reassuring feeling of home. It is an Extrait de Parfum at 18%.

How it unfolds
-
Sage and apple
A small start: sage for a green, herbal dryness and apple for crisp, clean fruit. With only two notes at the top, the opening is simple and clear, with nothing sweet in the way of the florals that follow. The opening is brief and tidy, and it prepares the ground for the heart rather than competing with it.
-
Milk and soft flowers
The heart is where the idea lives. A milk note sits among lily of the valley, violet, heliotrope and jasmine, all soft and slightly powdery, which makes the milk creamy rather than sugary. The brand speaks of innocent florals and pairs them with soft grasses.
-
Wood, vetiver, amber
Cedarwood and vetiver give the base a clean, dry wood and a rooty, grassy side, benzoin and amber add a gentle sweetness, and the musks bring a soft, skin-like finish. The musks, the brand says, are synthetic. It ends calm and warm, in keeping with the idea of home.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
Cow is soft and mild-mannered, so it is easy to wear in daily life: two or three sprays, at any time of day. It fits spring and summer, the office, a weekend at home or a quiet evening. Because it is an extrait, a little goes a long way, even if the mood is gentle.
Who it is for
For people who like soft, milky and green scents, and who want a perfume that is comforting rather than dramatic. It is listed as unisex. It suits those who find big gourmand or smoky perfumes too much, and anyone who likes the idea of a clean, familiar, homely scent.
Why choose Zoologist Cow
Nathalie Feisthauer is the named perfumer, and her name is on the box as with every Zoologist perfume. The brand, founded in Toronto by Victor Wong, names each perfume after an animal. For Cow the animal gives a mood rather than a drama: calm, familiar and warm, with a milk note at the centre.

Questions
Frequently asked
Does Cow really have a milk note?
Yes. The brand lists milk in the heart, among lily of the valley, heliotrope, violet and jasmine, and describes a fresh-milk note. The florals around it keep it soft and creamy rather than heavy.
What concentration is Cow?
An Extrait de Parfum at 18% on the brand's page, at the lower end of Zoologist's 18 to 25% range. It is still a dense concentration, built to last, so a few sprays are plenty.
Is Cow an everyday perfume?
Its mood is gentle and familiar, with no smoke or heavy spice, so it suits everyday wear well, from the office to a weekend. The sage and apple top gives it a clean start.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
