{"product_id":"zoologist-bee-extrait-de-parfum-60ml","title":"Zoologist Bee Extrait de Parfum (60ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBee is Zoologist's picture of a hive in full spring bloom, workers crossing a flowering meadow to serve their queen. Perfumer Cristiano Canali turns that into a waxy, honeyed floral: orange and ginger syrup open it, mimosa and orange flower fill the heart, and a soft resinous base of benzoin, vanilla and tonka closes it. It is an Extrait de Parfum at 18%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Orange, Ginger Syrup, Royal Jelly Accord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Broom, Heliotrope, Mimosa, Orange Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Benzoin, Labdanum, Musks, Sandalwood, Tonka, Vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrange and syrup\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first notes are orange and ginger syrup, so the opening is sweet and warm rather than sharp, closer to a spoonful of syrup than to a peel. A royal jelly accord sits in the same layer and gives the brand's waxy, honey-like idea its first outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA dense meadow of florals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart brings mimosa, heliotrope, orange flower and broom. Mimosa and heliotrope are soft, powdery and faintly almond-sweet, orange flower adds a clean white brightness, and broom keeps the meadow in the picture. The effect is a floral that is warm and thick, not airy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResin, vanilla, wood\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenzoin and labdanum are warm, balsamic resins, and with vanilla and tonka they build a sweet, soft-edged base. Sandalwood and musks add creaminess and smooth the finish. In an extrait with a base this resinous, the dry-down should stay close to the skin and last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBee is sweet and dense, so a few sprays on the chest or wrists are enough. It fits cool evenings and spring days with enough warmth in the air to carry it. Because the florals are rich and the base is resinous, it suits dressed-up or relaxed evenings, not a crowded, overheated room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who likes sweet, floral perfumes with a warm resinous floor, and who is curious about a honey theme that leans waxy rather than sugary. As a unisex perfume it asks for no particular style. It suits dinners, gatherings and the cooler months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Zoologist Bee\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eZoologist names every perfume after an animal and works with a different named perfumer on each; for Bee that is Cristiano Canali. The brand reports that Bee was a finalist in the Art \u0026amp; Olfaction Awards 2020, independent category. Beeswax and incense are part of its own description of the scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat concentration is Bee?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn Extrait de Parfum at 18%, the figure the brand gives for its 60 ml bottle. That is a dense concentration, so the scent stays close to the skin and is built to last. A few sprays go a long way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs Bee vegan?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Zoologist says Bee contains beeswax, harvested without harming bees, so it is not free of animal products. According to the brand, Hyrax is the only other perfume in its range with that status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow would you describe Bee in one line?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA waxy, honeyed floral: orange and ginger syrup on top, mimosa and orange flower in the middle, resins, vanilla and tonka underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoes it suit warm weather?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is sweet and resinous, so it is happiest in cool weather and in the evening. A mild spring day works well, but in real summer heat the honeyed florals can turn heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zoologist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67658298949784,"sku":"ZOO-BEE-EXT-60ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/1157\/8520\/files\/zoologist-bee-extrait-de-parfum-60ml.webp?v=1791360596","url":"https:\/\/nichegems.eu\/products\/zoologist-bee-extrait-de-parfum-60ml","provider":"NicheGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
