Not enough MOO
A smooth, milky fog flowing down a field of white flowers. Drifting over the warm memory of a cow that once lay in the grass, its hair previously washed using apple shampoo. Rounded out by powdery, clean musk.

Addictive to smell.

It's good, but it's lacking in the cow department. The fragrance has the smoothness of milk but doesn’t actually smell like milk. It would've been interesting to see a fermented, slightly sour yoghurt smell or maybe a sprinkle of soil.

An idealised memory of a cow, so detached from an actual cow, bringing into question whether you could even call this perfume 'Cow'.

Very similar to an apple deodorant I own.

Overall, it's disappointing and sort of boring but smells lovely.

Where's the MILK?
I wholeheartedly agree with the apple shampoo comparisons. That was my first and lasting impression of Cow. Fruity shampoo all day long. I did not pick up any milky lactonic notes as hard as I tried. This scent is just ok. It's not something I would choose to wear as perfume but it's also not the edgy olfactory art that I expect from Zoologist. It's just kinda there, padding the collection. As a Wisconsin gal (America's dairy land) I was hoping for more from this one. Oh well.

The Courtly Romance of Lena the Cow
In William Faulkner's Snopes Trilogy, there is a character who falls in love with a cow, and spends happy days weaving daisy chains for his bovine love to wear. It is a very courtly kind of romance, and this fragrance immediately brought it to mind.

Cow strikes me as a romantic fragrance, not "romantic" in the roses and champagne sense, but romantic in a more
classical way- something unaffected, real and natural, outdoor-fresh but with a bit of warmth too.

The apple and sage opening is fantastic. It gives a sense of long summer days, walks in the country. It's bright and fresh, aromatic and juicy with just a bit of sweetness.

The heart still has a green, aromatic quality, and it blends beautifully with the milky and floral notes, which I thibk were especially well-selected. The heliotrope and milk compliment each other so well, and the rest of the blend has a fresh quality which is so pretty, yet still unisex.

The drydown is delightfully resinous and woody but is a much more intimate scent than I was hoping. It's a very nice, subtle scent bubble though.

Cow is definitely unisex, IMO; the longevity is on the long side of average, but the fragrance performs much more like a EdP than an extrait on me..

I do like this scent a lot. Like all the Zoology scens I've tried, it's very evocatìve of it's subject. I can easily imagine Lena the Cow relaxing in a field on a pretty spring or summer day, while her knight gallant sings love songs, makes her a crown of flowers and feeds her apples.

Yes, I am the weirdo determined to name the Zoology animals. It's a compulsion. Don't judge me.

Early summer walk through the Northern German fields
This one reminds me of the Northern German fields. Freshly mowed grass and happy cows laying basking in the sun. No nasty smells, just warm milk. A couple of tiny lilacs hidden in the grass.
Dries down heavenly on me, like a creamy balmy summer evening.
Weird enough to pique one's interest, but not off-putting.

Very fruity and green, with intense green apple note and Jasmin. I get a great freshie at start. Horrible dry-down,like sweat and bodycream.

After a fresh and fruity floral-green opening, this warm and musky spicy-floral Spring fragrance, settles to a gentle dry-woody base. Unisex
