Hummingbird
Regular price $ 200.00
Complex and irresistible, Zoologist Hummingbird is long-wearing and layered, with baskets of spring florals and tree fruits, topped off with a delicate whipped cream accord. A nectar no hummingbird nor human could resist.
From Zoologist
From the ethereal perspective of the exquisitely adorned hummingbird, the world is an endless kaleidoscope of colorful, fragrant blooms offering up their tempting delights. An insatiable desire for sweetness propels the hummingbird as it floats from flower to flower, sampling the nectar with a gentle touch of its delicate tongue. Retreating to its lichen and moss-lined nest, it settles into the cozy cocoon and dreams of sweet ambrosia.
Zoologist Hummingbird mingles light floral tones with delectable fruity nectars to create a harmonious balance. This diaphanous scent alights upon you in a pastel bouquet of honeysuckle, mimosa, lilac and peonies, with just the lightest dusting of natural sugars found in pear, cherry and honey. A finishing dollop of velvety whipped cream melds the tantalizing notes, completing this irresistible and opulent perfume.

Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchasing full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
This perfume feels like you’re walking into the most beautiful floral garden on the first day of spring. The lilac and honeysuckle is combined with a sweet honey and grounded by woody notes and musk. It is truly one of the most beautiful transporting perfumes I have ever smelled. It was love at first sniff!
This scent alone sold me on Zoologist. Arguably one of their most wearable fragrances, Hummingbird is an art, and evokes the distinct sensory experience of shoving your face in a variety of pleasingly odorous flowers. There’s a multiplicity in it, even as they hit you all at once. The fruit, I think, does a good job taking a back seat while holding down the fort. It doesn’t smell fruity, per se—just dimensional from flower to flower, even when you can’t quite put your finger on them. It’s been accused of being an overwhelming scent but I think that’s par for the course with the creative notes on the fragrance; for me it’s gorgeously intoxicating and it was the first sample from Ministry I used up entirely. A full bottle, here I come.
Spring in a bottle!
Atomized didn't even work, it just leaked out the sides
I was very excited to get a sample of this perfume based off of the notes. Damn this is the most overwhelming, suffocating scent I've ever put on my skin. And it would not come off, even after it gave me a raging headache. Thank god for samples.
