    What do reviewers say about Pollination and Bee?

    The beeswax is not a footnote. On some skin, it takes the lead, resinous, animalic, almost dirty in the best possible way. If you've ever walked past a hive in July heat, that's the moment.Pollination
    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
