Wear Chameleon first, decide later
On this page you find Zoologist Chameleon, a perfume, as a decant. Our data holds its name and its house, not its notes, and we leave it at that. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.

On the skin
This page says little about what Chameleon contains, on purpose: no note list is on record, and the sample says more than a guess. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.
For now, Zoologist Chameleon can only be asked for. The form on this page records your interest in this perfume, and we make no promise about timing. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.
The sample is made by hand: Zoologist Chameleon goes from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, which we then label. A spray vial lets you apply it the way you would from the bottle, which a dab-on tube does not.
Testing it
When to wear Chameleon is not on record with us; test it on the kind of day you would actually wear it. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Test it on skin and not only on paper.
No audience is on record for Zoologist Chameleon, and a perfume does not check who wears it anyway. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first. If Zoologist is new to you, a small vial is a calm way to get acquainted.
Descriptions and reviews tell you how Chameleon wears on other people; only a sample tells you how it wears on you. To be clear, this is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants it from the original bottle and puts its own label on the vial; Zoologist plays no role.
What you receive

Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Chameleon from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Zoologist Chameleon, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Closed, upright if possible, and away from heat and direct sunlight, the same way you would keep a full bottle. That keeps Chameleon as it was when we filled it.
The brand
Zoologist names every perfume after an animal and gives each one to a different perfumer, whose name is printed on the box. Victor Wong founded the house in Toronto in 2013, and he is frank about the result: the brand calls its range creative, artistic and strong, not mass-appeal, and does not recommend buying a full bottle without trying a sample first. A 10 ml decant lets you find out whether Bee, Squid or Tyrannosaurus Rex is an animal you can live with.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
