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.

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.

sudsy orchard

I was determined to love Cow. Partly because of the absurd scenario where a stranger might ask me what I’m wearing and I reply, deadpan, “COW.” And I did like Cow, quite a lot. It’s apples and cream. (I’m a little lass that loves apples and cream!). But inedible apples and cream. The apple is grass-green, waxy, beaded with dew. It’s very much a kid’s shampoo apple, sweet and tear-free. The milk is the gelid tallow of a thick conditioner or artisanal soap. Fatty, creamy, cosmetic. Not yogurty or eggnoggy. To my nose, there’s nothing sour or earthy about Cow. It’s a beautiful just-out-of-the-shower scent, office-safe and accessible, and longevity is not bad for a freshie. However, I wasn’t ready to spend over a hundred bucks just to smell freshly-shampooed.

Mental Snapshot: A stock-photo perfect apple. An A is for apple apple. Then a field of dairy cows, roving across a Swiss meadow. The vivid green field crests across a spotless sky, like a 21st century Great Wave off Kanagawa. You’re in a Windows screensaver.

tl;dr: Granny Smith conditioner

Where the cows roam and the apples fall

Cow is bit fruity, a bit grassy and a bit creamy - slightly leaning into gourmand territory. It’s maybe a little too reminiscent of milky sweets with artificial apple flavour for my personal taste. It’s on the verge of nauseating for me, but that’s just a personal thing I have with gourmands.

What I do really enjoy is how the juicy green apple note blends with the herbaceous sage, creating a fresh, grassy vibe that’s almost like standing in a meadow. It’s a playful and imaginative take on the idea of a cow. It brings to mind a green spring field dotted with daisies, maybe beside an apple orchard, with a red-and-white checkered picnic blanket and a few curious cows wandering over to see what’s for lunch.

Sweet Pastures

this is exactly what a cow inspired fragrance would smell like! It’s fresh and airy, like an open grass field with the wind blowing past. There’s apple trees nearby, green apples specifically, along with bushes of fresh flowers gracing the field. There is spice here (I’m assuming the sage) but it’s natural, uplifting, and adds depth, like a pinch of pepper. I do understand the “apple shampoo” first impressions but it definitely dissipates after a few minutes to a much fresher, more airy, natural apple note. The milk here adds a creamy lactonic cloud over the whole scent and adds a touch of sweetness too. Would say this is only slightly feminine and not blaringly so, the sillage is moderate and the longevity was about 4-5 hrs on me.
