Scent

At Artemis' side

If, like me, you've been researching honey fragrances recently, you quickly come across Bee by Zoologist and, if you read the reviews and statements, you get the impression that this fragrance is the king of honey fragrances. Honey for hardcore fans of liquid gold who are not put off by concentrated bee power. Eat or die!
Of course, this aroused my curiosity and after a few attempts to get hold of the bee's dream (damn, you're expensive T_T ), I finally held a sample in my hands yesterday and sprayed it on immediately.

Immediately the honey drips thick and viscous into my brain, embeds itself there on the shaggy aromatic broom, which is the usual chaos in my head and because my nerves are already singing "Ode to Joy", they sprinkle a few more petals over it, dancing merrily. Outside in the real world, there is a campfire made of freshly felled wood still covered in resin, but my stupidly blissfully smiling self only notices this in passing.

Bee doesn't have a great progression, because all the notes are there in one form or another from the beginning and remain until the end. It is a total work of art, an ode to honey, but not one that has been finely cultivated by the beekeeper, but one that is far more primal. I can't explain it exactly, but there is something wild about the scent. Nothing strongly animalistic or dirty, but also nothing that belongs inside four walls or fences and certainly not on bread.
I rather imagine that this is what ambrosia, the food of the Greek gods, of which Homer and Virgil write that it also served as a fragrance essence, smells like and in my mind nymphs smear themselves with it and then chase through the forest together with Artemis. Elegant and irrepressible at the same time.

What more can I say, I love him, I also want a bit of untamedness in everyday life and that is now a serious problem. Someone with more sense than me once said she doesn't test anything she can't afford. I say yes, more sense than me, because here I have the salad, or rather the honey...
