Reposting my review of Bee by Zoologist Perfumes here from tumblr:

Oh fragrance hyperfixation, we're really in it now!

Hmm, this is different than I expected, but I do like it!

Having smelled it now, I wouldn't call it photorealistic (osmorealistic? that should be a word) beehive, this is more of a fantasy bee themed perfume--which I guess makes sense given what Zoologist does. This is what somebody's queen bee fursona puts on before going out to pop some drones, rather than what sticking your head into an actual living bee colony smells like.

That being said, it works!

At first spray, its surprisingly powerful, and my wife easily smells it on me from a couple feet away. There's plenty of sweet honey, sure, but also LOTS of vanilla. Underneath that are an assortment of dusty dry florals and resins that give a sort of baby-powder impression to me. They say there's orange in the top notes, but it must be used sparingly to harmonize in the background instead of standing out as a distinct component. I think it gives it that sour citrussy bite that some honey can have.

As it dries down, the herbalness and powderyness fade away without the scent losing any of its sweetness. Instead the honey takes center stage, with an ensemble of beeswax and pollen harmonizing in the background.

At the end of the drydown there's a faint but persistent lingering beeswax and vanilla on your skin for a more warm sweetness.

I was looking for a more vanilla based feminine perfume, and I think this fills that role quite nicely!

I still think the one I made myself--lemongrass (bee lure/pheromone mimic), hay, beeswax, and sweetgum--smells more like a beehive tho.
