* Hive in the Wild

19⁹⁵

The scent of the Appalachian woods in late April.
Budding maple trees beside a swift stream, snowdrops nodding over vernal pools, and dewy dogwoods offer a trove of nectar to fill a fledgeling hive.
Wear this verdant blend for a fresh start, to work your own alchemy and begin anew.

5 ml bottle or 1 ml sample vial - Classic carrier oil

This is an Archive scent. We are not planning any more reblends this year, just selling out remaining poured bottles/vials.

Hive in the Wild

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!

My favorite

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...
