What do reviewers say about Gardenia Royal and Bee?
Strong white florals can pull in different directions, heady and tropical, or green and grounded. Gardenia Royal chooses both. The vanilla in the base doesn't sweeten it. It warms it.Gardenia Royal
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
