by Zoologist Perfumes
Hummingbird Zoologist Perfumes is a radiant, sweetly floral gourmand that captures the essence of a hummingbird's nectar-filled journey. It begins with a luminous burst of cherry, pear, and apple, kissed by whipped cream and a soft honeyed grace, creating an effervescent, almost edible sweetness. This quickly evolves into a lush, grounded floral heart where lilac, honeysuckle, and peony bloom like a sunlit garden, supported by a delicate, powdery musk and a subtle, earthy mossiness. The dry down reveals a soft, warm honey and sandalwood base, lending depth without heaviness, making it feel gently centered and subtle. Longevity is exceptionally strong, lasting well beyond 12 hours on the skin, and sillage is moderate to strong, especially in the initial stage, making it a notable presence without being overwhelming. While some find the nose or skin chemistry reaction, others find the sweetness, the synthetic fragrance choice, or the animalic elements disagreeable, the perfume is widely considered a masterpiece of olfactory storytelling, blending floral, fruity, and gourmand elements into a cohesive, light, and evocative narrative.
