  Quite realistic honey accented with floral and fruity notes. It’s decent, and the performance isn’t bad, though not particularly impressive either. $125 for 60 ml… well, it’s the usual madness.

  For me, the main note is honey; I thought it would be more floral, but the honey drowns out the rest. This happens to me whenever a note is given too much prominence. I was tempted to buy it blind based on the scent notes, but I held back because of the honey, and I don’t regret it: it’s a good perfume, but it smells too much like honey for my taste. Performance is good, and while I consider it unisex, I think it leans more feminine, so I recommend men try it before buying. Scent: 8, Longevity: 8, Projection: 6, Value: 5, Versatility: 7, Originality: 8, Overall: 8.

  I had huge expectations, but maybe my nose isn’t refined enough for this type of aroma. It contains many notes I love, but together they were a disaster for me. I confirm that Zoologist isn’t a house for me. DO NOT BUY BLIND.

  Like others from this house, I perceive Hummingbird very differently depending on the temperature. In moderate seasons, it opens with an intense honey note, followed by the astringency of lilacs, honeysuckle, and the fruity sweetness of apple and cherry, all over a woody base. As it dries, the fruits disappear, leaving woody, honey, and honeysuckle accords with a soapy rather than green touch, and in the late dry-down, oak stands out. It can last over 12 hours, projecting for the first 2 or 3. In summer, the sweet notes intensify while the woody ones fade. The opening is similar, but the red notes of cherry and apple flood everything and become cloying. Fortunately, it settles within an hour close to the skin into a nice, feminine fruity-floral scent of boozy cherries and juicy red apples, with soapy honeysuckle, astringent lilacs, and a hint of honey. The woody dry-down never arrives in the heat, lasting no more than 4 hours. It’s not my style, but I recognize it’s well-executed. It has an innocent touch, like a girl playing at being a woman. It reminds me of Nina Ricci’s Manzanitas. I see it as feminine, coquettish, and daytime, ideal for informal occasions in good weather, perfect for spring. I wouldn’t buy it, but I’ll happily finish the sample after trying it. Note: in autumn, it lasts much longer, and after 4 hours, the base emerges—a woody, creamy moss, like whipped moss cream, extremely original and charming, though very close to the skin.

  Like with others from this house, I perceive the Hummingbird very differently depending on the temperature. In mild seasons, it opens with an incredibly potent honey, followed by the astringency of lilacs, honeysuckle, and the fruity sweetness of apple and cherry, all over a woody base. As it dries, the fruits disappear, leaving woody, honey, and honeysuckle accords with a soapy rather than vegetal touch, and in the late dry down, oak stands out. It can last over 12 hours, projecting for the first 2 or 3. In summer, the sweet notes intensify while the woody ones fade. The opening is similar, but the red notes of cherry and apple flood everything and become cloying. Fortunately, it settles on the skin in under an hour into a nice, feminine fruity-floral scent of boozy cherries and juicy red apples with soapy honeysuckle, astringent lilacs, and a hint of honey. The woody dry down never arrives in the heat, as it doesn’t last past 4 hours. It’s not my style, but I recognize it’s well-executed. It has an innocent vibe, like a girl playing at being a woman.

  A floral fragrance with a notable, soft ylang and white flower scent, with a light citrus touch. Like the ‘Dragonfly’, it’s a well-blended floral without a clear protagonist, but this one smells much stronger. It has a long, enchanting trail. Over time, it becomes fresher and slightly woody, perhaps due to the oak moss. It’s elegant, composed, classy, delicate, yet not shy. A real hummingbird. Even though I’m not a huge fan of white flowers, this is so well-made that it wins me over. It’s simply enchanting to smell on other people.

  It’s a perfume that instantly transports me to hummingbirds, something I’ve never experienced before. At first, it smells like dew, pollen, nectar, and tropical flowers, but mostly honey. As it develops, that honey dominates the opening, followed by lilacs, valley lilies, apple, mimosa, and honeysuckle in the dry-down. Later, on my skin, woody, mossy nuances and a soapy touch emerge. I don’t perceive the individual notes separately, but the overall effect is very feminine and spring-like. It might be too intense for those who aren’t fans of florals or honey, as its sweetness is lush and natural. It has moderate sillage and lasts over 12 hours on my skin. I find it gorgeous and love the brand’s concept: evoking the ecology of real or extinct species using ingredients from their habitats, which makes their creations so interesting. Scent 8/10 Longevity 10/10 Sillage 7.5/10 Value 7/10 Versatility 8/10 Packaging 8/10 Would I buy again? I didn’t purchase it.

  This perfume immediately evokes hummingbirds and their lifestyle; it’s nothing like other fragrances I’ve tried. Blind tested, it smells of dew, pollen, nectar, flowers, and tropical greenery, but mostly honey. The opening is dominated by that potent honey, while the dry down reveals lilacs, valley lilies, apple, mimosa, and honeysuckle. Later, on my skin, woody and mossy hints emerge along with a soapy breath. I didn’t detect the rest of the many listed notes. It feels more feminine and spring-like; it might overwhelm those who aren’t fans of florals or honey. It has moderate sillage and lasts over 12 hours. I find it lovely and charming. I agree with the brand’s concept of evoking animal species and their habitats, which is very interesting. Scent 8/10, Longevity 10/10, Sillage 7.5/10, Value 7/10, Versatility 8/10, Packaging 8/10. Would I buy again? No, I didn’t.

  Just a thick, heavy honey scent with a soapy note that adds zero originality. It smells identical from the first minute all the way to 8 or 10 hours on the skin, with barely any projection for the first 2 or 3 hours. Once it dries down, vanilla, incense, and white flowers take over, but that’s where it stops. Far from a masterpiece, and it’s not worth the price tag.
