Unusual Natural Clean Scent
Perhaps the scent has changed slightly with the different batches, because my experience is quite different from the rather poor reviews here.

I immediately think of a popular dish soap upon spraying it, I think I smell neroli even though it’s not listed, and this impression lingers for a long time. I start to categorize the scent, "Citrus", "Fresh", and "Floral" are quickly clicked, and since this seems a bit lean, I later also choose "Creamy" and "Sweet". The scent does have a somewhat sharp, almost aggressively fresh note, maybe it’s the coriander, but I like it a lot, probably because as a child I often blew soap bubbles with the dish soap. I think of Petit Matin by Francis Kurkdjian which I used to like very much; the two are certainly not scent twins, but it also reminded me of the same dish soap. After one or two hours, the impression changes a bit, the sharp note recedes, I smell more vetiver and the overall impression becomes a bit softer and rounder.

Anyone looking for a clean scent that not everyone smells like should try Hindu Honeysuckle, especially in the natural perfume sector, this type of scent is hardly found otherwise. Perhaps someone can then explain to me what is supposed to be "Hindu" about the composition, because I can't make sense of it no matter how hard I try.

Dried Jasmine
"Hindu Honeysuckle" caters to every prejudice one might generally have, or at least I used to have, against eco-fragrances. It starts briefly with an acetone-sharp note and immediately transitions into a scent reminiscent of jasmine that has been dried for a long time, now smelling musty, rancid, and old. However, "Hindu Honeysuckle" does have a strong sillage.
Is honeysuckle supposed to be in there? I don't smell any for a long time. At best, after the initial acetone note, one might faintly sense it. But perhaps I just wished for it and imagined the scent of honeysuckle from memory. The reality of the rather penetrating smell only reminded me of honeysuckle when I called up the fragrance here and compared what I smelled with the pyramid.
Although the unpleasant smell of old sharp jasmine diminishes somewhat as the sillage fades, I sense vetiver, ambrette (to some extent).
So when "Hindu Honeysuckle" has calmed down, it becomes a bit greener, less oppressive, and releases a certain sweetness that one might almost identify as honeysuckle.
I just wonder, what occasion would one wear this fragrance for? I wouldn't even want to use it as a room scent or in an oil burner.
So there is still room for development here.

Jasmine, not too strong, overall a subtle scent, honeysuckle is said to smell similar, and that's probably where the complexity comes from.

The scent seems confusing: Personally, I mainly smell the honeysuckle here, while jasmine adds a slightly funky note. Harsh!

Bergamot, vetiver, and coriander bring a herbal freshness at the start, so the jasmine doesn't become musty. Honeysuckle and rose get overshadowed.

Starts with acetone, then just oddly dried jasmine, really eco-friendly, less animalistic and just slightly gross. What’s the point of wearing this?

The herbal jasmine note dominates most of the time, with a bit of spice at the start. Offers hardly any facets + variety. Towards the end, it gets a bit stinky.

Coriander-heavy vetiver, with a light carrot undertone, especially at the start. Masculine, slightly clean, herb-spicy with exceptional elegance.

The scratchiness of the coriander overshadows the honeysuckle, and the vetiver finishes it off. Bergamot doesn't soften the dish. Waste.

First a lot of honey-like, sour-green honeysuckle, then the jasmine kicks in, intense but only moderately meaty. I don’t smell much else here.

Coriander jasmine with a hint of raspberry. It could be nice, but somehow it isn't. Too much coriander and not enough of the rest.
