Zoologist Northern Cardinal Sample
A few wearings of Northern Cardinal, then decide
This is Zoologist Northern Cardinal, a perfume by Zoologist, offered here as a sample. Our data holds its name and its house, not its notes, and we leave it at that. Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.

What is not on this page
For Zoologist Northern Cardinal no note list is on record with us. We only print notes we can trace to a source, so this page names none; wear it and judge. 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.

Asking for this sample
The status of Northern Cardinal is on request. That is an honest way of saying it is on our list but not yet in a vial. The form on this page is where you raise your hand. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.

The vial
For this sample, FragranceGems takes Northern Cardinal from the original bottle and fills a glass spray vial with it. The label on the vial is ours. Three sizes mean you decide how long you want to test. Pick the small vial if you only want to know whether you like it, and a larger one if you want to live with it for a while.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
With no season on file for Zoologist Northern Cardinal, the fair test is simply several different days. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub.
Who it is for
Who Northern Cardinal is aimed at is not on record with us. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag. If you already know the house, a decant lets you check whether this one fits next to what you own.
Why try Zoologist Northern Cardinal as a sample first
Choosing a bottle unsmelled is a gamble, and a decant takes the gamble out of it. It is our own decant from the original bottle, labelled by us. This is not an official brand sample and the house is not involved.

Frequently asked
Is this the same perfume as the full bottle?
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Zoologist Northern Cardinal and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Zoologist Northern Cardinal, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Will Northern Cardinal be the same on me as on someone else?
Probably not exactly. Skin, weather and the amount you apply all change how a perfume comes across, which is the reason to wear Zoologist Northern Cardinal yourself before deciding.
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.
