Snowy Owl

The quiet intensity of a winter's morning when the first light touches the snow, and the air is crisp with the scent of freshly cut grass mixed with the subtle sweetness of blooming flowers.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, Snowy Owl by Zoologist Perfumes is crafted by Dawn Spencer Hurwitz and stands out with its fresh and green aromatic profile. The scent opens with calone and coconut, creating a crisp yet lush atmosphere that feels like walking through a mist-covered meadow. This freshness gives way to the delicate florals of lily-of-the-valley and snowdrops, followed by the earthy tones of galbanum and olibanum. The base notes of musk, vanilla, and tonka bean add warmth and depth, making Snowy Owl both comforting and invigorating.

How to wear it

Apply Snowy Owl in layers to fully capture its depth. The initial freshness fades within an hour but the musky base notes will linger through the day. It pairs well with a light sweater or jacket, enhancing the cozy yet fresh vibe.
