Baccarat Rouge 540’s honeyed apprentice
I really didn’t know what to expect going into sniffing Honey Suite, and against my better judgment, I was expecting a sweet gourmand scent. However, after reviewing the notes, I was even more confused as to how it was going to smell. Needless to say, this was an excellent blind buy for me!
As soon as I sprayed it, I was instantly reminded of another scent. The characteristic saffron, the dry woods, the smoothness, all made me think, Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum! Honey Suite exists on another axis than BR540. I wouldn’t go as far to relate them on familial terms. They’re not sisters, brothers, or even cousins. They hold a different relationship, in which one is a master teaching its apprentice, learning how to become its own master. With the addition of honey and lavender, HS is noticeably sweeter and earthier than BR540. The performance also doesn’t even come close to what BR540 offers, but it does have fairly good longevity for an EDT.
While HS will never be on the same level as its master, it’s a wonderful alternative to the popular scent and scent profile, for a much affordable / accessible price. Snif did an excellent job with this and I’m happy to have finally added it to my collection.
