Zoologist Bee ~ fragrance review
Bees. One of life’s essentials. I’m thankful my garden in Seattle has swarms of bees in summer, gorging on flowers and filling the air with their hypnotizing buzzes. My mailman is not so happy with their sounds or numbers along the path to my front door, and he often employs the “drop (packages) and run” maneuver in high summer (used most often with snarling dogs, but in my case, with bees).
One of my favorite perfumes of all time was a honey fragrance: eccentric, bold, with a “I have no more f**ks to give!” character.

As I sniffed my fingers over the next 15 minutes, I was upset to smell that most of these perfumes quickly devolved to basic Iso E Super, Cashmeran and white musk. Worst: most of them cost around $200 for 50 ml bottles! What a rip-off…and what a disappointment. The last couple of years I’m finding more interesting things for sale by mainstream/designer fragrance companies than the proliferating so-called niche brands.
On the day I did this test, only two perfumes didn’t conk out after their interesting head notes faded…
