There is an aquatic sense I get from this when first applied, but it is very gentle and not "in your face AQUA VELVA". There is a slight tinge of maple syrup when still wet, but as it dries, it melds into a gorgeous woody note. The snowdrops are there lending their pretty white floral note to the mix, and there's a bit of sweetness to the fragrance. This one stays very fresh and is very outdoorsy - I love the way the woods mix with the water notes, it's very invigorating!

This has been my favorite from the 2022 bee samples. It smells like summer to me. It's very sweet and something about it does scream summer in the mountains to me. For the record I live in western North Carolina mountains so that's what it brought to mind instantly...
