Hummingbird

How it moves

Cherry, pear, apple, plum, lilac and rose hit first, the way an opening line should. The middle belongs to honey, honeysuckle, mimosa, ylang-ylang and peony. The base is whipped cream, musk, coumarin, moss, amber and sandalwood. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.

Who made it

Shelley Waddington composed it in 2015, for Zoologist in Canada. Shelley Waddington's Hummingbird evokes a nectar-sipping bird through fruits, blossoms and cream; Fragrantica named it among the decade's best indies.
