Where to start. This was my first experience with Zoologist. Intriguing concept, so I bought a lot of samples before jumping in based off reviews, which I encourage strongly!
First spray, the scent had a very animalic scent upfront. Very much in your face! After an hour, it became a petting zoo with frankincense. Somewhat better, but the barnyard was always lurking. 3-5 hours later, it was only a skin scent, but the barn scent was still lingering.
I found on clothing alone, it was more palatable leaning more towards a sweet fruity scent with spice, but on my skin animal and gothic church. Very interesting to see what chemistry does. It looks like for many, the scent wears spicier and fruitier. My chemistry must like strong animalic scents, which I didn't see coming.
In the end, I would not purchase a full bottle. I just don't feel right smelling like a real life Nativity scene. 3.5 rating, but glad it works for many!
