Reserve Australia

Every time I wear this, I think "more people should know about this fragrance..." though maybe not, because I'm not sure if it can be easily found any longer, or whether it's still in production. But for honey lovers this is GORGEOUS. Beautifully blended, warm and ambery, deep and sensual, one of my favorite honey scents in my collection. I am hoarding my little rollerball. *edited to add* this is still SO GOOD. I think it's in my top ten, for sure. I'm fairly sure this is no longer being made and I wish I knew of a dupe for it because I'm afraid of running out. Hmm.

Picked this up during a clearance sale so I am very pleased. Very refreshing and true citrus honey scent, all for $10 around Christmas. Longevity isn't the best on skin but awesome when sprayed on clothing. I often layer it with heavier scents that need a light top note to lift them. Perfect example, I have Ormond Jayne's Tolu and it can be a bit cloying. I like it in the bottle, but on my skin the balsamic notes transform into this weighted aura that can be a bit much even when lightly applied. I have to say Tolu was one of the first times that I wanted to scrub my skin of a perfume. I'd already dressed for the day and didn't want to hop back in the shower, so I attempted to rescue my senses with a layering scent. Plus, Tolu is not cheap stuff, so by golly I am going to find some way to make this thing work, lol! I chose a couple of spritz of Danny Seo Australia and it WORKED! Tolu suddenly became this light faintly soapy scent with a rich undertone of honey and tolu balsam. I will admit that the whole affair was slightly on the shampoo side, but good shampoo--the kind sold only in salons ;-)

What a lovely surprise! Found this at TJX for $5 and couldn't be happier with my bargain. I get the honey note for sure, but it's still far from the real thing. It is not as natural of a honey, or as warm, as Tokyo Milk's "Honey and the Moon". But pleasant nonetheless! It smells more like the honeycomb candy. However, don't let that steer you away from Australia! This fragrance stops just shy of being too much and pulls back to a more ambery, sandalwood finish. On me, I also smell some of the plum, a small amount of musk, and a bit of the florals as well. An hour or two in, and it settles to a soft sweetness. If you love honey scents, this might be a nice one to check out. It's not sickly nor cloying, and the bottle design is nice!

Perfect honey fragrance. Not overwhelming,artificial or too sweet. Just golden, aromatic, fresh liquid.

I keep wearing this trying to come to terms with the synthetic sandalwood. I just can't make myself like it, no matter how much I try and how much I use.
