What does Beekeeper smell like?
It opens with papyrus and styrax, then softens at the heart into everlasting flower, myrrh and honey. Vetiver, cistus and beeswax absolute form the base. The gourmand sweetness sits beside a spicy, smoky woodiness, and the honey leans resinous rather than sugary.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so treat that with some caution. Its sweet, resinous build suits cooler days, and it reads equally well on men and women. Imaginary Authors Memoirs of a Trespasser and Scents of Wood Vanilla in Bourbon have a close profile.
