Zoologist Portuguese Man O' War Sample
Portuguese Man O' War by Zoologist, as a decant
Zoologist Portuguese Man O' War is a perfume from the Zoologist line-up. A note pyramid is not on file here, so this page makes no claims about how it should come across. A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.

How it unfolds

Without a pyramid
For Zoologist Portuguese Man O' War 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. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.

Status: on request
The status of Portuguese Man O' War 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. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
-
What you receive
We fill Portuguese Man O' War from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and label it ourselves. The sizes are 2, 5 or 10 ml. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.

Frequently asked
Is this the same perfume as the full bottle?
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Zoologist Portuguese Man O' War 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 Portuguese Man O' War, 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 Portuguese Man O' War; 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.
