Translucent honey theme
In Letters to a Fellow Perfumer, a series of open letters, Mandy Aftel and Andy Tauer discussed their experiences and thoughts on how to approach common challenges and solve creative problems in the process of crafting works form the same starting point. They centered their ‘creative joint venture’ around linden blossom CO2 and each one came up with a unique take on the subject. As for Mandy Aftel, it was Honey Blossom, a pristine liaison of buoyant linden blossom, mimosa and orange blossom, all swirling around a translucent yet distinct honey theme – nomen est omen.
The airy sweetness of linden nectar is lined with mimosa and orange blossom, which adds warmth. This beaming and light-hearted ménage à trois is bedded on a balsamic whiff of benzoin and paired with ambergris' radiance. It is a well-balanced blend with a feelgood factor. Overall Honey Blossom is never sugary but always delightful, and comes across like early summer in a bottle. Alas, as it is not bolstered up with synthetics, diffusion and volume are not enough for my liking.
