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 - Sandal Wood
A solid, dependable sandalwood for when you want a rich, woody base without breaking the bank. It's a reliable workhorse, not a show pony.
