What do reviewers say about Bee and Dirty Honey?
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
Sweet enough to draw someone in. Warm enough to keep them there. That's the move, honey walked through earth, came back golden, learned a few things on the way.Dirty Honey
