Pure Honey KKW Fragrance / Kim Kardashian 2013
1
Cool, bitter, synthetic (plus better "wildflower honey" alternatives)
Based on reviews, I expected this to be warm, sweet honey with realistic wildflower floral notes - but this instead came across to me like very synthetic "cool"/cold white florals (entering "white floral hairspray" territory), with barely any honey/warmth/sweetness coming through.
I love honeycomb, honey, freesia, rose, honeysuckle, coconut, vanilla... but I didn't really get much of any of those notes. It was just overwhelmingly two parts for me:
90% synthetic white floral "hairspray"
10% faint honey
The honey was too much of a background player - and the white florals were just so sharp and synthetic (almost to the point of becoming bitter), that I personally couldn't enjoy it.
It was similar to the white floral blend used in Opal Energy , in case you've tried that one and like/dislike it.
Alternative wildflower honey fragrances that I feel are much more beautiful, realistic, sweet, and "nectar-like":
Honey
Miele
Note: my bottle came in an all-gold box (no image of Kim Kardashian), so it appears this might be a newer formulation - or different from previous versions that others reviewed before. (Thanks to Oriane for pointing that out!)
