Zoologist's Snowy Owl - by perfumer Dawn Spencer Hurwitz - evokes "the warmth of snow."
"A thick carpet of silver envelops the landscape, untouched but for the dazzling reflection of the sun. Snow stretches as far as the eye can see, while a bitter wind rolls silently across the sky, its hush barely broken by the powerful beat of an ivory wing. Despite the stillness of the arctic, the snowy owl senses a flutter beneath the icy crust far below. Through snowy tunnels voles scamper, oblivious to their fate. A warm glow stirs within the breast of the majestic bird as it dives, confident in its mastery over the frigid kingdom."
Zoologist Snowy Owl glides on with a minty opening, while the gentle warmth of musk combines with beautiful hints of snowdrops, lily of the valley and iris. Sweet coconut and woody vanilla swoop in to surprise and entice. Snowy Owl merges cool vitality with exquisite softness in a captivating scent, ideal for those who aren't afraid to take what they desire.

Not my taste
I am tempted to give this a 3, but as it's a well-made scent that's just not my cup of tea, I will give it a 4. To me, this is too heavily galbanum. The frankincense that overpowers some other Zoologist scents (I am looking at you, Squid!) is present here too, along with some coconut (which doesn't wear well on me). If that sounds like your jam, then definitely give this a sample! :) This sample vial was gifted to me by a friend who knew I wanted to try it, and while I appreciated it, I ended up passing it back to her after giving it a good couple of tries. Like all Zoologist scents, a little goes a long way, so you get your money's worth that way.
