Queen Bee

I thought I would love this because I love peony as a note more than anything and I like amber too. But with this I'm It not sold. It vaguely reminds me of viva la juicy which I don't care for its synthetic berry notes. Over all as the inital spray mellows and more of the Amber comes out I like it a little bit. While this rides the line between a body spray and a perfume for me, as the initial synthetic berry notes fade and the amber comes out more it leans more sophisticated smelling than it started. It has an interesting green note that comes out as well. It has a brightness as well that I like. Overall its just a like for me but I could see how some women would love this. Edit: Alright its 3 years later and I have fully come around on this one. So rare to find an amber based aquatic scent. Its fun, its sexy and I kept trying it and just got addicted. Also you will get compliments with this. Something I've noticed as someone who owns more than a 100 perfumes is that after gourmands, people will compliment you the most on aquatic fragrances I swear. And that if you keep giving perfumes a chance you can fully change your mind in a different mood and suddenly its magic. Definitely try a perfume at least 3 different times before you judge it. Most my favorites like Lovely and Myth and this one, I only just liked at first then fell in love with. Also besides the notes listed, to my nose Id like to add Honey, lotus, cassius, bellini, peach and belladonna. If they added a patchouli note this could be a $150 designer perfume

Decided to buy this after hearing so many good things, and I am so happy I did. Queen Bee is such a beautiful sweet floral, with an amber citrus base. It feels like the perfect signature scent, and I feel like I will be wearing it quite frequently. The moment I sprayed it on my arm, it became an instant love. I've noticed a few reviews comparing Queen Bee to Elizabeth Arden's Sunflowers, and I have to say - I can understand why. In saying that, I actually don't feel they are similar in scent. For me, they both evoke the feeling of joy - both are just sunshine in a bottle honestly. I can't wait to layer this with the EOS Whipped Shea and Sugar lotion!

I’ve been looking for a good paraben-free spring/summer fragrance. I wasn’t sure I’d find one being as picky as I am, but Queen Bee made the cut. When I first sprayed this one, it was like a blast of Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers. I suddenly had Jr High flashbacks. Then the black currant crept in, which was weird for a second, but it went right back to a modern version of Sunflowers. I’m looking forward to seeing how this responds to warmer temperatures this summer....hopefully the silliage will be better for me. I will report back. Long live the Queen...for now. ;)

I really have grown to enjoy this scent quite a bit. It’s clean and floral on the dry down and becomes quite soft, but on the initial spray, it’s sour and sweet. Definitely where that black current comes through. I was first introduced to the scent through a good chemistry sample set, and i really didn’t think i’d enjoy it out of the mix, but overall i think it’s become my favorite. I’m generally someone that loves a soft sweet fruity gourmand, so the fact I liked this says a lot. I’m definitely excited to try more from this brand :)

This fragrance is like being infatuated and experiencing exhilarating young love. Playfully sexy and full of youthful vitality, This is a fragrance I reach for often. I can never go wrong with this one, it wears so well and I never find myself feeling sick of it or just not in the mood to be smelling it anymore despite how long it wears. I believe it is true to the notes listed; the sour berry scent stands out the most and warms the back of the throat. Such a stand-out fragrance especially for the value.
