The Bees are Flying — Sorce fragrance of 2025
The Bees are Flying is an extrait de parfum by Sorce, released in 2025.
This unisex fragrance from the United States was created for those who enjoy expressive compositions with a distinct character and an unusual combination of natural, floral, and gourmand nuances.
The name The Bees are Flying evokes a vivid, almost tangible world: warm air, flowering plants, sweet nectar, and earth after the rain.
Its impression is built not around a single note, but around the contrast between softness and depth, airy florality and a dense, enveloping presence.
Character and development
The Bees are Flying belongs to the floral and gourmand fragrance families.
Its style intertwines sweet, woody, balsamic, mineral, and white-floral nuances, making the composition feel layered and cinematic.
On the skin, the fragrance can smell both delicate and rich: creamy softness tempers the honeyed sweetness, floral accords add light and volume, while the woody-balsamic base supports the composition and gives it greater definition.
A mineral petrichor nuance brings a cool, damp facet reminiscent of earth after a summer rain.
Cedar deserves special attention: it creates a dry woody foundation and keeps the sweet accents from becoming excessively syrupy.
As a result, The Bees are Flying is more than just a gourmand perfume: it is a complex olfactory portrait where comfort meets mystery.
Longevity, sillage, and wearability
The Bees are Flying is available as perfume, or Extrait de Parfum. Its sillage is described as very strong, so the fragrance is noticeable in the air and calls for careful application.
The brand has not provided precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing; given its intensity, it is sensible to start with one spray and add another if needed.
The fragrance will appeal to women and men who prefer expressive compositions with honeyed, floral, and woody nuances.
Thanks to its density and pronounced sillage, it is especially suitable for cool weather, evenings, dates, formal occasions, and situations where you want to make a memorable impression.
The Bees are Flying can also be intriguing in warm weather, but it is best to reduce the dosage: higher temperatures intensify the sweet and creamy nuances.
On the skin, the fragrance will unfold more softly and naturally, while on fabric its sillage may last longer and feel more intense.
The perfumer and the brand’s style
The composition was created by Caitlin Hayes.
Her work with contrasting accords highlights Sorce’s modern approach: the fragrance is not confined to a traditional floral or sweet structure, but combines familiar perfume associations with a more unexpected mineral and natural character.
For the American brand Sorce, this release feels like a notable statement about the freedom of fragrance perception.
The Bees are Flying does not seek to divide its audience strictly into men and women: its mood changes depending on the skin, weather, and dosage, allowing everyone to discover their own side of the composition — comforting, floral, honeyed, or mysteriously balsamic.
Similar fragrances
If you are drawn to rich floral compositions with a distinctive character, Cerruti 1881 Pour Femme may serve as a useful reference.
Lancôme Magie Noire and Amouage Journey Woman may also be worth exploring, although The Bees are Flying stands apart through its distinctive combination of honey, creaminess, pollen, and a damp mineral accent.
No other concentrations of this fragrance are listed in the available data.
If you are looking for an unusual unisex perfume with very strong sillage, a complex floral-gourmand atmosphere, and a distinctive personality, The Bees are Flying is best tested on the skin, observing its development over several hours.
