An eco luxe, botanical solid natural perfume tribute to the little winged alchemist, the honey bee. This fragrance is emblematic of the warm, musky scent of the bee hive. As a holistic bee keeper I've come to love this particular aroma and thought it would be the perfect theme for a perfume devoted to the bee. Since not everyone is a lover of this most distinct "hive smell" I used the theme as a launch point for the perfume.The scent of the hive is a combination of warm, sweet, musky notes with threads of beeswax, honey and with an earthy, vegetal undetone.

There is approximately 5 grams by weight of this luxurious unguent within the natural tub measuring almost 1 inch high x almost 1 inch wide. A golden color coded honey bee wax seal indicates the fragrance within the container. The perfume is placed in a bag ready to give a a gift to yourself or someone special. Also included is an 8.5 x 11 printed information paper which is folded and sealed with the signature bee wax seal. An altar to your essential nature.

This is the perfect gift for those allergic to traditional perfume. The fragrance is also available in as a liquid perfume. A spray addition will make an appearance soon. Consider purchasing a sample before investing in this honey pot: http://www.etsy.com/listing/61554747/solid-natural-perfume-sample-diva-trio

The name "To Bee" is a reference to who the perfume was made in reverence to as well as the Shakespeare quote from Hamlet ""To be of not to be, that is the question?" After all, if we continue to destroy our natural environment true botanical perfume will no longer be possible, the honey bee will become extinct and life as we know it will cease to exist.

Both top and bottom of these natural tubs are polypropylene which does not contain BPA they are # 5 on the recycling chart.
