We are twins on cw2! Love this. I wasn’t sure about this one or the blue/pink, but it’s got a lot of great colors in it and I think it fills a hole in my scarf wardrobe.

It's from Europe but jbizzybeetle is in the US and should be getting hers this week.
Hello. I know the mountain zebra is getting a lot of coverage here, but I hope you don't mind me sharing these comparison photos of 08 (with the pink zebra), 07 (fuschia/aqua), and 01 (the "original"):
They are all so heart-breakingly beautiful, but I (shockingly) don't know if I want to keep any of them. Maybe it's the print scale and density? Maybe it's the sweetness of the design? Or maybe it's my generally inability to choose between them that is making me throw up my hands? I don't know.
Thoughts?

Great comparison pictures. They are all beautiful. To make a decision about which one to keep or none, it may be helpful to think about what you have in your wardrobe to go with each CW and whether you already have other scarves in those colors.
Absolutely agree with this as am/was having same dilemma about CW 1.
I decided to keep without regret. It goes well with my non-summer wardrobe. It is beautiful, and therefore it will present itself when the outfit is right...
Between the three, 08 looks best on you in my opinion.
I love etoupe too and, maybe you agree with me, to me it reads a warm neutral. The close up below might be more helpful if it was taken in natural light, but what I think it shows well is how the cool pale pink is offset by the warm grey. To my eye, this contrast of warm and cool is what allows the creators to produce a scarf of great depth and interest, despite the limited palette.
I have to say that before I compared these two colourways, I hadn’t realized quite how grey this scarf is. It’s not by any means dull, it’s just modest.
They are beautiful...how do you feel in one or more?
Just me: I’ve learned not every beautiful scarf works for me emotionally. If I don’t feel like a million dollars in a $415 scarf, back it goes.
Back again! Your question intrigued me so I found something to help understand the the Cosmographia grey. This scarf is a very old Musique des Dieux (my first ever H) and the grey is super warm, almost bronze. Using this comparison you can see that although the grey in the red Cosmographia might be warm, it’s definitely not a taupe.

@FugitiveRouge - While you may not have solved your dilemma, you've solved mine! I need that blue/pink MZ after all. Who knew?
But, back to you. You may not have found the color way that most resonates with you. Perhaps the Cobalt/Curry/Ciel color way (cw 08) will work best. That one, for some reason, does make me feel like $1,000,000, to use the expression of @Jbizzybeetle at tPF. Perhaps it is all of the glorious "gold" in it contrasted against the rich, deep, vibrant blues? I had not expected to fall so hard for that one. That said, return them all if you don't "love" any of them. If you will not wear them (or frame them) they serve no purpose for you.
