What does Bee smell like?

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen least. It leans towards evening, leisure and nights out. On character, feminine and masculine votes run close, so it sits somewhere between the two.

The scent is sweet, floral and gourmand. Honey, royal jelly and beeswax form the core, while vanilla, tonka bean and ginger syrup sweeten it further. Heliotrope, mimosa and orange blossom add a creamy floral side, and benzoin, labdanum and frankincense bring a resinous warmth. Maison Matine Avant l'Orage and Sultan Pasha Attars Rêve Narcotique have a close profile.
