Zoologist Koala Sample
Koala by Zoologist, as a decant
Zoologist makes Koala, a perfume you can get to know here in a small vial. No note list is on record with us for this perfume, and we do not guess one. Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.

How it unfolds
-
What is not on this page
We have the name and the house of Koala, not its notes. Instead of copying a list from somewhere, we leave that part empty. Give it time to settle before you judge it. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.

How on request works
This sample is listed on request, which means it is not filled yet. Use the form on this page to let us know you would like Koala, and we note it. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.
-
In the vial
For this sample, FragranceGems takes Koala from the original bottle and fills a glass spray vial with it. The label on the vial is ours. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings. Because it is a spray, the perfume spreads on skin the same way it would from the bottle.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
No season or occasion is on record for Koala, so let your own days decide. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Test it on skin and not only on paper.
Who it is for
Whether Zoologist Koala is marketed to men, women or everyone is not in our record; wear it if you enjoy it. If you already know the house, a decant lets you check whether this one fits next to what you own. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes.
Why try Zoologist Koala as a sample first
A sample of Koala answers the two things that matter: whether you like it, and whether you still like it on the fifth wearing. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. Zoologist is not involved, and it is not an official brand sample.

Frequently asked
Is this a sample made by Zoologist?
No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Koala from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Zoologist Koala, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Which size should I choose?
That depends on how long you want to test. The smallest vial is enough for a first impression of Koala; the larger ones give you many wearings, in different weather and on different days.
The brand
About Zoologist
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.
- Started by Victor Wong in 2013; a Canadian company based in Toronto
- Each perfume carries the name of an animal
- A different perfumer for each perfume, named on the product page and the box

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.
