Bee
Regular price $ 240.00Zoologist 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.

Honey, herbal, and slightly animal. This fragrance is great for masc and femme alike. As with any fragrance, but especially Zoologist, I recommend trying a decant first. My first try I did not like it, then second and third I became obsessed and had to get a full size.
Gorgeous scent
The opening of this fragrance was, frankly, shocking in its unexpectedly piercing intensity. As it evolved, the heady, waxy florals began to blend harmoniously together, culminating in the dry down to the most fragrant, succulent and sexy honey scent I’ve ever encountered! It was almost as if the perfume followed the bee’s journey, from the humming and buzzing hive, to alighting on each richly scented flower and finally developing into the most sensually alluring smooth sweet honey. This perfume is a love.
This is such a beautiful fragrance that reminds me of my childhood, honey drizzled on fresh baked biscuits. The orange and ginger notes are beautiful. So glad I have a bottle.
My shopping experience from beginning to end was the epitome of excellence in service. My questions on email were responded to promptly and so personalized. My full size of Bee arrived beautiful and also samples work with clear labels. MoS team is killing it this season! A+++
