Snowy Owl
Zoologist Snowy Owl takes flight with a fresh wintery burst of mint and green galbanum, then swoops down into a soft snow-like blend of coconut, vanilla and musk with hints of wood and earth from cedar, iris and incense. A staff favorite fragrance.
From Zoologist
A thick carpet of silver envelops the landscape, untouched but for the dazzling reflection of the sun. Snow stretches as far as the eye can see, while a bitter wind rolls silently across the sky, its hush barely broken by the powerful beat of an ivory wing. Despite the stillness of the arctic, the snowy owl senses a flutter beneath the icy crust far below. Through snowy tunnels voles scamper, oblivious to their fate. A warm glow stirs within the breast of the majestic bird as it dives, confident in its mastery over the frigid kingdom.
Zoologist Snowy Owl glides on with a minty opening, while the gentle warmth of musk combines with beautiful hints of snowdrops, lily of the valley and iris. Sweet coconut and woody vanilla swoop in to surprise and entice. Snowy Owl merges cool vitality with exquisite softness in a captivating scent, ideal for those who aren't afraid to take what they desire.

It reminds me of what polar ice gum tastes like but in the form of an olfactory sense. Kind of a weird description but it’s a good thing! Very minty and fresh but light and not overpowering.
This is my first Zoologist fragrance and I could not have picked a better one. I can’t put my finger on exactly what it smells like, but there’s a beautiful green grass note that is so realistic and sweet that it blows my mind. The fragrance also reminds me of Imaginary Authors Saint Julep perfume. They both contain mint, so that must be it, although neither of them smell like mint to me at all. They both smell, intoxicating and beautiful. Snowy owl smells a bit crisp, but also a bit like a warm feathering nest – a cozy place of love and nourishment. It’s fragrances like this that make me aspire to create my own fragrances. I’m a painter and a writer and a cook already, I would love to add being a nose to my list of achievements. I can’t imagine why anybody would be happy smelling like everyone else when there are fragrances like these available. You must try at least one of these fragrances, you owe it to yourself and those you love.
I could stream a lot of words describing the notes and how they play with each other, but it wouldn’t make me any happier than to say this fragrance is beyond beautiful, and I think they used some form of actual magic to blend it. I was lucky to get a sample and now I am absolutely going to save up to get an entire bottle! This would be my every day fragrance if I had more than just a cherish sample.
This is such an interesting scent! I got a big Zoologist sample haul and I’ve wanted to try Snowy Owl, but it wasn’t high on my list like Bee and Rabbit. I tried them all, and I have to say this is my favorite Zoologist scent so far. It’s so soft and crisp, very light florals and woods, the mint cools everything down but isn’t intense, and then the mix of the coconut and musk make the strangest, most comforting scent that somehow actually does smell like warm feathers. The coconut isn’t tropical in this, it just sweetens and softens the musk, tonka, vanilla, and incense. This is really art in a bottle; I’m in awe how they can take unrelated elements to create the feeling of being under the wing of an owl in a snowy forest.
My second favorite scent, to me it kind of smells like wet moss and morning dew on grass. I like it a lot
