Honey in perfume, feat. Bee (Zoologist, 2019)

(Picture from the Zoologist website, obviously, and not my magical cottagecore abode)

I am a big fan of (wearing very small amounts of) sweet gourmand fragrances, including sugar and honey notes. “Notes,” of course—nowadays, it’s not the real thing. While I have seen at least one or two indie companies touting actual honey in their honey perfumes, for the most part, it's an aromachemical: phenylacetic acid, derived from beeswax and generally combined with other notes to create an accord. This Fragrantica article tells you everything you could ever want to know about the chemistry of honey perfumes, including:

"Honey absolute" is generally beeswax absolute (technically not even an absolute), which has "a relatively mild scent, reminiscent of hay and tonka beans with waxy and honey undertones."

"Phenylacetic acid itself, in high concentrations, has a sickeningly sweet smell, really reminiscent of honey, with sour, powdery and floral nuances. In its composition, the nuances of tobacco and chocolate are clearly distinguishable – one, without imagination, can also describe them as a strong animalistic urinal smell, vaguely reminiscent of civet."

If you saw barrels with a bee symbol in Breaking Bad: that's the stuff. It is, in fact, used to make meth.

Other notes/aromachemicals used in various honey bases (abridged): vanillin, heliotropin, coumarin (often tonka bean), violet (ionones), hyacinth (phenylacetaldehyde), rose and wax (geranyl acetate), and a note only found in citrus blossom honey: methyl anthranilate.

In the "mellis" base: "benzyl salicylate (balsamic, herbaceous) and eugenol (cloves), [...] patchouli, hydroxycitronellal (lily of the valley), woody notes, spices, and coumarin." This is a foundation used in many of the classic older fragrances like Youth Dew (which my grandmother used to wear), Opium, and L'Air du Temps.

If you're interested in the chemistry, take a look at the article—the parts I'm quoting are only to get across the palette of scent possible in a honey fragrance. Guerlain creative director Sylvaine Delacourte also reels off an exhaustive list of honey notes in perfumery. I'll quote four of them:

Miel de Provence (Firmenich base): "tobacco, aniseed, honey, curry, immortelle, coumarin, hay"

Beeswax Absolute: "quite buttery, very honey-like, broom-like"

Phenyl acetic acid: "honeyed, fruity, dirty, a little blackcurrant"

Tabac Turc Absolut: "honey, animal, leather"

Dance break for further reading:

Fragrantica: Beeswax in Perfumes

Perfume Society: "We love what the nose Christine Nagel has to say about this ingredient: 'Honey has two facets – half devil, half angel. In Ambrée structures, it has a sweet, comforting effect, taking you back to childhood. But a small touch in a feminine structure can be extremely sexy…'"

Bois de Jasmin: Sweet Honey Water: Perfume Recipe from the 17th Century

Also at Fragrantica: Best in Show: Honey Fragrances (2020). Now, if I had a money tree, I would probably go straight for samples of Back to Black (Kilian), Scandal (Jean Paul Gaultier), Poison (Dior), Chergui and Miel de Bois (Serge Lutens), L'Instant de Guerlain, and Honey and the Moon (TokyoMilk). The sample I actually ordered was what I felt must be The Honey Scent of All Time:

Bee (Zoologist, 2019)

I had actually never tried a Zoologist fragrance before this; they're famous for animal-themed scents that range from the imaginative to the, uh, challenging. (And the infamous.) Here's the official description:

Like the frantic hustle of the bee through a maze of multi-faceted scents, Zoologist Bee delivers a surreal experience. The rich aroma of honey captivates, while alluring florals, royal jelly, animalic beeswax and regal incense unite to create a buzz, offering excitement, and the sweet rewards of life.

Perfumer: Cristiano Canali Top Notes: Orange, Ginger Syrup, Royal Jelly Accord Heart Notes: Broom, Heliotrope, Mimosa, Orange Flower Base Notes: Benzoin, Labdanum, Musks [synthetic], Sandalwood, Tonka, Vanilla

Now, glance back up at all the background business we just went through: heliotropin, coumarin (tonka), citrus that could include methyl anthranilate. Sylvaine Delacourte invokes mimosa and broom in her full list of notes—

But then: royal jelly apparently has a cheesy, condensed milk scent; she also mentions that beeswax absolute can read as "buttery." For that matter, her mention of a "butyric" honey aromachemical is a bit alarming: it's the "rancid butter, parmesan cheese, and vomit" note that makes Hershey's chocolate so objectionable to people who didn't grow up with it. Like, it's all here if you google know what you're looking at. It's all fun and games until the bee cheese comes out.

And then, labdanum, as you might remember, is the key ingredient in amber accords, where it's often blended with benzoin and vanilla, so we're going to get a warm, resinous, highly projective effect as well. I love amber, but I have to apply it exceptionally sparingly: it's LOUD.

What I'm getting at is, once you look more closely at the notes and the chemistry: I am not surprised that some wearers report a claustrophobic feeling like their head is stuck in a beehive. If your skin chemistry emphasizes the floral notes, it's said that you'll feel like you're right there soaring with the bees among the wildflowers; if you amp the cheesy, waxy, or A M B E R notes, well. There's nothing I can do to save you now. Remember Tabac Turc Absolut ("honey, animal, leather") up there? Or that phenylacetic resemblance to civet? Zoologist is famous for (surprise!) their intensely animalic fragrances. We don’t know exactly what Cristiano Canali used, but we sure do know what’s possible. You are IN that hive with the bees. Hope you brought some pollen as a hostess gift.

I always apply, like, three entire molecules of perfume when I first try something, so I was fine. On me, Bee has a creamy-yet-powdery "texture"—not dairy, not "old lady" powder; something almost tactile. The honey itself is primarily what I smell, and it’s "high" in my nose; I think I would have preferred a deeper note, like the dark clover honey I use in my tea, but it's nice. I don't specifically smell any ginger or florals—maybe a little citrus. Nothing cheesy or objectionable, barely waxy, just a general sense of hive. But Bee does seem—alive. It seems to move in the air around my wrist.

And it persists for hours, despite how little I wore (three different occasions), especially since my skin does amplify amber notes. If you find yourself in trouble, it is not going to wash off. DO NOT SPRAY BEE ALL OVER YOURSELF. DO NOT. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR CHOICES. I really enjoy honey fragrances and this one in particular, but—you have been warned.

Addendum: It was extra fun to edit this out on the deck under a cherry laurel with about 7-8 bumblebees circling overhead. They were chill.

THE ART & CONTROVERSY OF THE CORSET

Looking through archival Vivienne Westwood capsule collections I was so engrossed with the beautifully crafted corsets that were designed. From the different prints to the structure of the corsets I realized just how much these pieces are not just pieces of clothing but art. The corsets themselves are beautifully crafted from cotton twill and structured with baleen and steel bones to keep its structure. It's clear that Vivienne Westwood’s corsets are eighteenth century inspired with an association with sexuality and deviancy. It is very common to see corsets be worn as a fashion statement instead of an undergarment. Historically, corsets were worn as a symbol of patriarchal oppression. However, in the present day it is a symbol of femininity and sexuality. Conspicuously the corset has become a fashionable article of clothing that can not only make your outfit more elevated but a form of empowerment. It can be seen as an art piece like the Vivienne Westwood corset, it has become a form of art that is showcased in museums around the world for all to see. However, with art comes controversy and the corset is far from it.

The history of corsetry illuminates controversy within many aspects. A perfect example of this is the 19th century controversial topic, “tightlacing”. Tightlacing was the practice of lacing someone into a tightly laced corset that significantly altered the shape of their body. There were many complications and health consequences due to tight lacing such as damaged or rearranged internal organs, breathing restrictions which oftentimes lead to faintness, fertility problems, and poor digestion. Horrifically, tightlacing did not only extend to women, it also extended to young girls. Historically, before the 16th century young girls were subjected to wear tightly laced corsets from their childhood up to womanhood. These young girls were “corset trained” for their future and subsequently subjected to achieve a certain beauty srand that enforced malicious notions of a woman's body that still linger in present day. The manipulation of women’s bodies to achieve a certain beauty standard is horrifically fetishazed and all a bit stereotypical for how a woman’s body should look based on obscure body standards. If we follow the festishisation of the “hourglass figure” then the ideal waist size would be little to none existent. It is undoubtedly clear that for many decades women have been subjected to beauty standards and fitting into the quote on quote standard. However, in recent years with the resurgence of corsets fashion lovers are beginning to treat this piece as a wardrobe staple piece.

One of my most favorite corsets is the infamous Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra corset dress that was presented in his Fall/Winter 1984-1985 show titled “Barbes”. The cone bra corset dress is a signature design that is continuously used in reference for the designer. Gaultier added many intricate attributes to the dress that makes it what it is, iconic. From the lacing on the back, to the sensual detailings of the fit of the dress when put onto the body, to the velvet textile used in a ruching effect to give the dress texture. This iconic piece by Jean Paul Gaultier speaks to the tantalizing nature of women and women's sexuality. This corseted dress gave a sense of fantasy where the woman wearing it could feel strong as the garment forces you to stand tall and feel empowered. The cone bra corset dress is taken out of the sphere of immorality and instead a sphere of self empowerment.

Similarly, Vivienne Westwood took the corset which signified patriarchal oppression and subverted it to luxury outerwear that is seen by many as a work of art. A particular Vivienne Westwood corset that I hold dearly to my fashion loved heart is the portrait corset which debuted in the Spring/Summer 1990 show “Portrait Collection”. In this collection there was a range of corsets that were printed with 18th century painting. Famously the 1743 painting Daphnis and Chloe, Shepherd Watching a Sleeping Shepherdess by the French Rococo artist Francois Boucher. This particular corset reinterprets the past of fashion and subvertly brings both the past and present together into the current era. Vivienne Westwood alternatively showed this corset on the runway as outerwear instead of underwear which in turn reclaimed its symbol of female liberation and empowerment. This corset has famously been worn by the likes of Bella Hadid and FKA Twigs. And has been interpretted in many different ways from the on coming fashion trends.

Both Jean Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood have invoked upon the ideals of what it means to be a woman and how women are subjected to standards that are out of the norm. Instead both designers shifted the ideas around femininity and sexuality to more liberated, empowering, genderfluid approaches that allow women to no longer feel constricted but instead make a statement and I believe that is what makes it art.

In the present day it is apparent that the representation of femininity and gender fluidity, the exploration of corsetry is no longer subverted to oppression but acceptability and the celebration of the contour of the body. It is clear that there is still space for corsets, however not in the traditional sense. There is a new wave of sensual somatic that seeks to uplift the contour of the body and burgeon for liberation and empowerment.
