Try Dodo at your own pace
Dodo is a perfume from Zoologist. Its notes are not in our files, and we would rather say so than fill the gap. A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle. Give it time to settle before you judge it. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
On request
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands. Read how we fill your sample

On the skin
No note list is on record for Zoologist Dodo; wear it and judge. We would rather give you a clean sample than a description we cannot stand behind. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.
Zoologist Dodo has the status on request. The page is here so you can tell us you are interested; the sizes open up once we can fill the sample. We make no promise about timing. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.
The sample is made by hand: Zoologist Dodo goes from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, which we then label. Glass does not react with perfume, so what you smell is the perfume itself. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.
Testing it
Nothing on record ties Dodo to a season or a moment, and that makes a broad test the best one. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening.
For Zoologist Dodo no target wearer is recorded here. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag. Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label. Collectors use decants to explore widely without filling a shelf.
Trying before owning saves shelf space and regret. What you get is a decant made by FragranceGems from the original bottle, with our label. The house is not involved and it is not an official brand sample. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
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.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Dodo the way you normally would.
No note list is on record with us for Zoologist Dodo, 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 Dodo 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.

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.
