Dipped in Honey....
I have been searching for a honey scent for so long, but with many other perfumes, I either don't perceive the honey or it is just too spicy for me... Ideally, I would love a sweet acacia honey perfume... A gentle honey, then, that is not too spicy and strong.
L' Instant de Guerlain unfortunately does not quite manage to meet this, but it comes very close.
Now, here is an excerpt of my feelings about this scent:
It does not really start off to my taste. I find it quite overpowering in the first 10 minutes, and it was almost too spicy for me. Unfortunately, this spiciness is not balanced out by the bergamot or mandarin for me, but is simply present and hits quite hard.
After about half an hour, the scent becomes very one-dimensional for me... I smell mild vanilla pudding with a hint of honey. But unfortunately, it is really only a touch of honey, with the vanilla dominating. I had simply hoped for more.
But I will not give up and will continue to search for my ultimate honey scent.
That’s what Parfumo is for, after all.
This one unfortunately did not make it into my collection!

To me, Boudoir by Vivienne Westwood still unmistakably smells like honey :)
