About
Bee by Zoologist Perfumes is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. Bee was launched in 2019. The nose behind this fragrance is Cristiano Canali. Top notes are Beeswax, Ginger and Orange; middle notes are Mimosa, Broom, Heliotrope and Orange Blossom; base notes are Vanilla, Benzoin, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Labdanum and Musk. "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 florals, royal jelly, animalic beeswax and regal incense unite to create a buzz, offering excitement, and the sweet rewards of life." - a note from the brand.TOP NOTES Orange, Ginger Syrup, Royal Jelly Accord HEART NOTES Broom, Heliotrope, Mimosa, Orange Flower BASE NOTES Benzoin, Labdanum, Musks, Sandalwood, Tonka, VanillaWe will update soon when the fragrance will be available at the market.
