    Real talk

    Beeswax opens full and warm. The goldenrod gives it an edge, a slight bitter-green brightness that cuts through the sweetness. The angelica grounds it.Ex Votos
    Bee is not a polite fragrance. The beeswax opens like a candle you've just blown out, and the ginger adds real kick. It became Zoologist's breakout because it smells like something alive and working.Bee
