I pour myself with honey,… who’s now biteable, huh?
Honey. You all love honey, don’t you? The sweet, delicious gold. I bet while the guys are more in search of the holy grail (which is probably the first batch of Aventus,… hey, what freaks!), the ladies here are more in search of the legendary, promised land where milk and honey are supposed to flow,… wherever that may be…
The fascination with honey is understandable. Because aside from the fact that it tastes incredibly good, it is also probably the longest-lasting food ever. So, all those who hoard tons of honey in their basements will live quite a bit longer in the event of an apocalypse than everyone else,… just to stir up the fourth world war afterwards,… where, as we know, people throw stones and (hopefully then empty) flacons at each other…
But to stop thinking about possible end-of-the-world scenarios, I will finally get to this fragrance here, which exudes a fantastic honey note that will make all of your mouths water and flow onto the table (that’s so disgusting!) :D
After a short while, the fragrance also becomes resinous, as I perceive incense like frankincense, albeit very faintly, because it is soon replaced by oud, as it starts to smell oudy (this too is initially faint).
Over time, the sweet notes of honey mix a bit with those of amber, and light, not further definable spices are added. A little vanilla makes the fragrance more powdery, but this note is rather weak compared to many other fragrances with vanilla.
In the end, you mainly smell honey and a bit of tobacco, while all the other mentioned fragrance notes gradually fade into the background.
The longevity is, as often, good, and you can actually get through the whole day or evening with it.
Yes, yes, yes, honey then. I have now heard from some perfumes here on Parfumo that they are totally into honey. Apparently, most women like honey as mentioned at the beginning… I could kick myself for not thinking of this earlier, but if I ever see someone who totally interests me AND I should dare to approach her (which probably will never happen…. *sigh* :(((( ….), then I will completely douse myself in honey beforehand!!
The actually negative and angrily proclaimed phrase “Lick me!” would surely take on a completely new meaning! But I know my luck! I would then stand there like the last perverse fool with a bizarre fetish, because I would be walking around completely smeared in honey in the middle of the city… *sigh*
Aaaaaaargh, why do such things have to be soooo hard? Huh?? Why?
*Shriek and roar*
Ah, I’m getting hysterical. Then in a bad mood! This leads to frustrated cravings! I’m going to eat a slice of bread with honey now. Then another one with Nutella. And then one with jam (hmm… fig jam would be great right now :D). Not to mention the little midnight snack consisting of cute zoo cookies, Hungarian chips (wait, Halloween is coming soon, so rather ghost chips… um, those Monster Munch, uhhh, they are delicious…) and minty After Eight... … and if I have to throw up badly tonight, then I will just complain and curse even more here tomorrow! All because of you! *sigh*
Oh, by the way… you must definitely test the fragrance, as long as you’re into honey and don’t mind a slight tobacco note, because the tobacco, even though it’s faint, makes the fragrance unisex, so it doesn’t come off as too feminine. For me, the fragrance is an autumn and winter scent that also works well for going out. Yes, the fragrance smells quite nice. Maybe not very extraordinary and not so much that you want to have it immediately upon the first sniff, but still, it has turned out to be a lovely fragrance!

The Fragrance:
The fragrance starts with intense and sweet honey, a bit of tobacco, and a little bit of patchouli, even though this shouldn’t be listed, but it smells similar to me. After a short while, the fragrance also becomes resinous, as I perceive incense like frankincense, albeit very faintly, because it is soon replaced by oud, as it starts to smell oudy (this too is initially faint).
Over time, the sweet notes of honey mix a bit with those of amber, and light, not further definable spices are added. A little vanilla makes the fragrance more powdery, but this note is rather weak compared to many other fragrances with vanilla.
In the end, you mainly smell honey and a bit of tobacco, while all the other mentioned fragrance notes gradually fade into the background.
The Sillage and Longevity:
The sillage is okay, but I am usually used to stronger scents from Dua Fragrances, and here, especially because of the honey and oud, I expected an even stronger projection. But that’s okay, because the fragrance is not weak, so it is well noticeable on someone. The longevity is, as often, good, and you can actually get through the whole day or evening with it.
The Bottle:
The bottle is rectangular and has a tall, chrome-plated, cylindrical cap. As is typical for Dua Fragrances, the entire front consists of a label, where you can see a wooden spoon thingy (I have no idea what that’s called :D), which has, of course, been dipped into the liquid delicious gold. It’s okay, but personally, I don’t like the bottles that much. Yes, yes, yes, honey then. I have now heard from some perfumes here on Parfumo that they are totally into honey. Apparently, most women like honey as mentioned at the beginning… I could kick myself for not thinking of this earlier, but if I ever see someone who totally interests me AND I should dare to approach her (which probably will never happen…. *sigh* :(((( ….), then I will completely douse myself in honey beforehand!!
