Bee

A sunlit hive, dripping gold and humming with life. Zoologist Bee is a unisex extrait that turns the honey-and-flower world of a bee colony into scent: a glossy orange and ginger syrup opening, a heart of broom, heliotrope and mimosa, and a resinous base of benzoin, labdanum, sandalwood and vanilla. It was composed by perfumer Cristiano Canali for Zoologist Perfumes. The Story On the surface, a spring day seems still and peaceful. Beneath a blossom-strewn meadow, thousands of bees race for survival, workers ferrying nectar and pollen to the cramped honeycomb cells where drones and larvae are nurtured under a regal queen. In the claustrophobic hive a deafening buzz bears witness to their devotion, not one worker pausing to question its place in the perpetual grind of the queendom. Like the bee's frantic hustle through a maze of multifaceted scents, Zoologist Bee delivers a surreal experience: the rich aroma of honey captivates, while alluring florals, royal jelly, animalic beeswax and regal incense unite to create a buzz, offering excitement and the sweet rewards of life. Launched in 2019, it was an Art and Olfaction Awards 2020 Independent Category finalist. How It Smells Opening Bright orange meets a thick ginger syrup and a royal jelly accord, sweet, waxy and glistening. Heart Broom, heliotrope, mimosa and orange flower open into a honeyed, pollen-soft floral meadow. Dry Down Benzoin and labdanum bring a warm, resinous amber, cushioned by sandalwood, tonka and vanilla over soft musks.
