What does Bee smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin but lasts. It gets the most votes for evening and leisure, and it also works for daytime and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine.

The top opens with rum and davana, and the heart brings cinnamon, honey and bran absolute. The base of cocoa absolute, vanilla and sandalwood settles into a creamy, resinous sweetness. Zeromolecole Geco and Initio Side Effect have a close profile.
