Wonderful reviews for Zoologist Perfume's Hummingbird just keep coming! Here are some of the reviews from different fragrance sites and Youtube channels.

“Each transition from top note to heart to base becomes lyrics and melodies that create something incredibly artistic… simply put, It’s just fun, wonderfully wearable – ripe, juicy fun in a bottle.” – Pam Barr, Senior Contributor,
Brooklyn Fragrance Lover Fragrant Reviews
“It is airy and innocent, and for lack of a better word, pretty.”
Scents Memory
“It takes a really well made Fruity floral gourmand to win me over as I am normally not a fan of the genre. Most are too sweet, to immature, too common in this age of sugar water passing as perfume. Yes, most hummingbirds will fall for sugar water feeders in a garden over real flowers because it is so easy. Yet there is always one or two birds with refined taste who seek out the true nectar of nature. Hummingbird by Zoologist is made of real flowers, and ripe fruit without the candy and sugar that I detest. This Hummingbird has won my heart. ”
Fragrantica.com
“Being a vibrant cornucopia floral, it has plenty of pizazz to start with: it's choc-a-bloc with flowers, some of which have to be art essences and / or accords – because these blossoms stubbornly refuse to yield up their secrets, regardless of method. The fruit notes follow suit in that they, too, possess a tendency toward the honeyed. Then, there's honey as well. And cream. And amber.
Just when you are basking in floral abundance and sweet endearments, the base begins to make its presence felt: haylike coumarin, a delicate wink of moss, subtle hints of sandalwood and musk, a whisper of woods.
The eventual drydown is so discreet and gentle, so very tender – it bears reminding that Hummingbird's opening was the flourish of floral trumpet fanfare.

"This is probably one of the prettiest lilac scents I've ever smelled."

Perfumes The Guide 2018
"★★★★ While the official list of notes led me to believe it was going to be something like the old Azzaro Pour Homme, a traditional aromatic fougère, Rhinoceros instead showcases how to update an old genre with a niche sensibility. The top note has the busy, early-morning, urban freshness of an outside train platform at dawn—a smell made of equal parts correction fluid and herbal tea, refreshing and eerie. The rest is like the inside of an emptied cigar box, a vegetal, slimmed-down rethink of the tobacco-leather masculine genre. For the gentleman who meditates."
Pierre De Nishapur
“Rhinoceros is so stylish, overt, dandy and artistic, or better to say fashionable. It's a modern vintage leathery woody floral fragrance, urban and informal. Yet not realistic and plain, it a complex minimal abstraction of what rum/leather should be.”
PerfumeNiche.com
“The heart is a complex woody/leather/tobacco/oud accord that plays off opposites: rugged/refined, animalic/dignified and so peaceful powerful it will steal your soul.”
Fragrance Daily
“I am visiting a very old house in New Orleans on a very hot day, as a thunderstorm impends. There is petrichor in the air. Inside, the cypress floorboards creak as I open a cedar-lined armoire containing old linens layered with bundles of vetiver roots."
Fragrantica User Review
“This fragrance doesn't tip-toe. Neither does it hint or suggest. It's bold like the animal it was aptly named after, and heaven for those who love dry, animalic, smokey musk, leather, and tobacco, with a dash of booze. Incredibly well crafted, long lasting, distinct, and memorable, this fragrance delivers what it promises. Fall/Winter fragrance perhaps, but you'll probably catch me wearing it throughout the year whenever I just want to feel good and need my smokey leather fix!”

Rhinoceros by Zoologist
Now Smell This Perfume
Rhinoceros goes on as a musky/smoky leather scent (with a brief shot of rum and dense citrus). Next up are herbal notes (sage, immortelle and geranium) that are joined by resinous aromas —sweet "turpentine," fresh-cut pine. The perfume ends with the scents of leather, caramelized amber, oud and smoked nougat.

“A palate-cleanser that cuts through all of the excess perfume noise in my closet. It's a 'reset' scent, one that is detectable but restrained and takes me back to a beautifully composed center. It's highly original…”

I can't say enough great things about Panda, it's a true work of art, beautiful in every sense of the word, 5/5 Stars

“[Panda] sends you on a journey into the Chinese countryside in search of a Panda but along the way you are instead captured by the natural beauty surrounding you.”

Zoologist Perfume EDP Perfume Review

Cafleurebon.com
"Finally an animalic I can wear! Castoreum and linden blossom make for an odd, but delightful and approachable combination. This is the scent that convinced me to wear "skanky" perfumes -although it is relatively subdued, smelling of clean wet fur and fresh air. An absolute joy…"
This Blog Really Stinks (A Perfume Blog)
"Beaver is like a remade classic scent. A modern vintage. It has the lovely, earthy skank of an older perfume (that castoreum is really an accord and not a little dose of the real deal?!), with a modern and light hand shaping the notes around it."

Zoologist Perfumes Part Five: Panda, Beaver & Rhinoceros
Death/Scent
Created by Chris Bartlet, Zoologist’s Beaver is a fun and playful musk that is really well balanced. There is a lovely freshness, like a bracing breeze that blows in with the top notes and is dominated by Linden before it rustles through a dark wood and settles down into its den with all the warm furriness you would expect from a scent called Beaver.
