Bee
Zoologist Bee is one of the best honey fragrances we've ever smelled — an immersive, high-performing dive into floral honey and rich beeswax that lasts on skin for days and wafts a heavenly sillage.
From Zoologist
The spring day seems still and peaceful. Yet beneath the wildly splattered canvas of a blossom-strewn meadow, thousands engage in a desperate race for survival. Worker bees toil at a frantic pace, ferrying a precious cargo of nectar and pollen to deposit it within cramped honeycomb cells, where it will nurture drones and larvae under the eye of a regal queen. In the claustrophobic hive, a deafening buzz offers evidence of the bees' devotion to duty, not a single worker pausing to question its role in perpetual grind of life in the queendom.
Like the frantic hustle of the bee through a maze of multi-faceted scents, Zoologist Bee delivers a surreal experience. The rich aroma of honey captivates, while alluring flowers, royal jelly, animalic beeswax and regal incense unite to create a buzz, offering excitement, and the sweet rewards of life.

Absolutely amazing scent. It’s not a honey fragrance, it’s beeswax because there’s this thickness about the scent
This smells like a big pot of ginger honey candy! Don’t be scared of the overly sweet smell on paper, try it on the skin and the scent melts to a beautiful sweet and candied ginger floral that spices and warms you up!
Really good scent and the hue was true to the original. Personally I am not sure how I feel about it on me, the vanilla sticks out a lot on my skin. But it smells really good and sweet on other people, would recommend if you’re a fan of sweet/honey/gourmand scents.
Bee somehow manages to evoke the gooey, thick, syrupy honey and the crystallized crust of a honey comb. It’s warm, decadent, enveloping and cavity inducing sweet in the best way while never tipping over into nauseating. While Bee is unmistakably HONEY it also has depth that comes out as it warms in the skin; orange blossom, heliotrope and mimosa start peeking out evoking a field teeming with honey bees, the heliotrope brings you the hive from that dusty, powdery quality and the tonal and sandalwood base is the tree that the hive and flowers are all based around. Worn alone or layered (with leather and tobacco personally) it’s attention grabbing and announces you into room. I am constantly impressed by Zoologist and transportive and evocative their fragrances are and Bee may be my favorite of theirs.
Bee is as described but more beautiful, ethereal and robust all at once. Bee told it's story all day, this morning the faintest memory of that beautiful story lingers on my wrist. Bee is a gorgeous and evocative scent.
