Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Koala
Koala is a surprisingly divisive Zoologist scent, ranging from 'cat piss' to 'pure happiness'. Expect a battle royale between therapeutic eucalyptus and a clean, fresh musk. It's often described as a 'safe' Zoologist, but that depends entirely on your skin chemistry.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Safwa
This is a thick, syrupy, deeply oriental scent that some find absolutely heavenly and others describe as 'intimate' despite its potency. Expect a sensual, long-lasting experience, but probably not for everyone.
