Sweet, boozy and warm
For some reason this takes me to a decent small town bar, maybe with a Country Western theme. The smell of pink pepper infused rum drenched in sweet, sticky, warm honey. Around me are folks in sexy rose and patchouli perfumes and other folks in rich Tonka and vanilla with warm benzoin. People chatting, laughing, and you know certain people are going to be going home with certain other people, that is, after they do some line dancing.

Definitely going on the wishlist.

Bold rose-honey cross with spices and resins
Sampling Borntostandout Mad Honey, a mix of honey, rose, rum, pink pepper, and a blended base of vanilla, patchouli, tonka, benzoin, and ambergris, mainly adding an earthy, sweet, creamy aspect to the dry down. Mostly, the scent is defined by the rose-and-honey-led sweet and spicy opening that remains prominent into the dry down, and the rose especially lingers quite a bit to my nose, really being the standout note more so than the eponymous honey, even, so this is really a scent for rose lovers, I’d argue, though it’s well supported by creamy, sweet, spicy, resinous elements that give it complexity, depth, and perhaps a slightly broader appeal. It’s quite intense, though, something I’d opt to wear in cooler weather or when looking to stand out a bit. Fortunately, it’s not too heady but there’s definitely a slghtly sharp, powdery corner of the experience of smelling it that I get wafts of periodically when re-smelling on skin.

Like the rest of the line, Mad Honey is EDP, sold at a handful of US boutiques like Ministry of Scent, and priced at $290/210/85 for 100/50/15ml. It’s likely the best-performing scent I’ve tried from the house so far, with a pretty strong scent cloud resulting from just a couple of sprays via the sample obtained as part of the Dark & Drunk discovery set.

Overall, it’s an interesting and compelling blend that I would regard as a love rather than a like, in the scheme of things, probably my second favorite of the line after Drunk Maple.

Mad Honey
This scent opens with an intense blend of honey, rose and a subtle booziness from the rum. It's not your typical sweet and comforting honey - it lives up to its name mad honey with a bold, intoxicating presence. The honey and rose combination creates an addictive and slightly provocative character. As it develops, soft hints of vanilla emerge, and the orcanox gives the honey a dirty, animalic edge. This fragrance is unique, daring, and dangerously addictive.

When the honey goes crazy in the pan, is it a dog?
Yes, a Damask.
The dots are made of rum balls and pepper. Crazy!

Dark rum pearls on rose petals
Maja intoxicated with love in a honey high
But Willi tumbles down dazed
Probably too much synthetic for the little one

A lukewarm synthetic-sweet breeze without radiance or depth...unfortunately like all the fragrances from this brand.

A pretty crazy scent! Honey in your face and something sultry, dark in character. For special moments and not just for everyday use.

Mad Honey? More like mad rubber! Unpleasantly synthetic and dark honey scent.

The scent is above all one thing: too much.
A honeycomb pushed into cheap rum with an inappropriate support of the other notes.

Very sweet rum-soaked honey.
Clearly recognizable rose + tonka
Yet somehow dark and mysterious
It's something!

BornToStandOut, but in a good way? - The comparison to OSM is noticeable, but there's a synthetic sweetness added here.

It really has minimal Oud Satin Mood vibes, with the honey, this dark floral honey, the rose swims with rum in the glass.
