Pretty birdie.
I must be the right "fit" for Cockatiel and the Zoologist brand in general. They are one of my favorite perfume houses. I also love the smell of rhubarb (Hermes Rhubarb Ecarlate is also a favorite of mine) so trying Cockatiel was a must.
For me (and I am not an expert nose by any means, I just sample what I am interested in and see if I like what I smell) the rhubarb and fruity smell is the main showcase. I do also get the powdery smell, but I don't find it unpleasant combined with the fruit and it tones down the rhubarb sharpness. What I like in this and also other fragrances I have that tend to be favorites is that there are distinct elements that stand out, which to me give it a modern vibe. Comparatively, I tend to dislike fragrances that are heavily "bouquet'd" where there are so many, many elements combined in confusion that the point seems to be lost. Cockatiel takes you on a very specific journey, but you need to like fruits, rhubarb and powder to enjoy it.
PS- I like the old bottle shape better.... :)
