The holy grail of honeys!
My search for the perfect honey scent is over - THIS is it!
This is not the synthetic honey note often found in perfumes. This is not honey from the honey bear bottles. This is pure, hyper-realistic wildflower honey: raw, resinous honey (the type that crystallizes in a glass jar), with very light/indistinct florals mixed in (think honeysuckle + jasmine). The florals are faint, but definitely there - and they prevent the honey note from being too sickly sweet. It's such a beautiful, well-balanced blend.
To me, it actually has a hint of the super sweet orange blossoms I used to smell growing up (NOT neroli, just the orange blossom: no greenery of any kind, nothing relating to the tree or leaves... just the pure, sweet, simple floral nectar of the blossom itself.
The best part: all notes STAY when wearing this fragrance! So many times an opening note is beautiful but fleeting - but in this perfume, they're not going anywhere. I keep checking my arm and even after a couple of hours, all the notes are still there!
10/10, true-to-life, perfect for spring, great for pairing, full-bottle-worthy!
