From the ethereal perspective of the exquisitely adorned hummingbird, the world is an endless kaleidoscope of colourful, fragrant blooms offering up their tempting delights. An insatiable desire for sweetness propels the hummingbird as it floats from flower to flower, sampling the nectar with a gentle touch of its delicate tongue. Retreating to its lichen and moss-lined nest, it settles into the cozy cocoon and dreams of sweet ambrosia.

Hummingbird mingles light floral tones with delectable fruity nectars to create a harmonious balance. This diaphanous scent alights upon you in a pastel bouquet of honeysuckle, mimosa, lilac and peonies, with just the lightest dusting of natural sugars found in pear, cherry and honey. A finishing dollop of velvety whipped cream melds the tantalizing notes, completing this irresistible and opulent perfume.

Perfumer: Shelley Waddington

The Sniff on Hummingbird:

"[it] settles beautifully and as it warms more floral notes develop. There was a strong lilac and something that reminds me of Viburnum – a sweet, almost jasmine-like smell."

About Hummingbird by Zoologist Perfumes

How does Hummingbird differ from other floral fruity gourmand perfumes?
Hummingbird uniquely blends a range of fruit and floral notes like cherry, pear, lilac, and lily-of-the-valley with gourmand elements such as honey and caramel. Its woody base of sandalwood, amber, and cedarwood adds warmth and sensuality, setting it apart from lighter or more singularly focused floral fruity gourmands.
Are these fragrances suitable for both day and evening wear?
Many fragrances listed here can transition between day and evening depending on personal preference and season. Lighter, fresher options like Hanamizake and Îles d’Or are typically more daytime-friendly, while richer, warmer scents like Indecent Cherry or Mathilde might suit evening occasions better.
What should I look for if I want a fragrance close to Hummingbird’s sweet floral character?
Focus on fragrances sharing key notes such as cherry, honeysuckle, lilac, and ylang-ylang combined with gourmand hints like honey or caramel. This combination provides the balance of sweetness and florals characteristic of Hummingbird.
