DKNY Nectar Love

The opening of this is gorgeous and relaxing. Like a realistic quite natural chamomile tea with honey. I wish the opening lasted longer but the scent changes after about an hour of wear. After this the drydown on my skin becomes a bit more deep and muted with the cedar, musk and vanilla coming through and the chamomile disappearing (a little of the honey remains). The drydown on my clothing is a bit different and becomes a lot more of a white floral soapy/fabric conditioner. Strangely enough the sillage remains quite honey forward even when the fragrance has dried down. The let down of Nectar Love is unfortunately the longevity. If I spray this on in the morning, it only barely makes it to lunch break. Though for the price point, around 4 hours isn't too bad and I would just re-apply in the middle of the day. I will say that throughout those 4 hours it does have a reasonable sillage and it only fully becomes a skin scent at the 3/4 hour mark. I love honey and beeswax notes. And for a nice honey I would usually go for JPG Scandal, but Scandal is on the heavier side and more suitable for evenings or cold weather. Nectar Love is a more bright and light honey that can be office friendly and more suitable for sunnier/warmer weather. In short: The opening is wonderful, but the drydown is a bit more generic. Longevity and sillage are mediocre. All in all I'm thinking of purchasing a full bottle mostly for the opening and the honey sillage and to have a lighter honey fragrance in my collection, it's pretty reasonably priced anyway. EDIT: I have gotten a full bottle since writing this review and am very surprised. The longevity and sillage is so much better than the sample I had! The wonderful notes I loved in the opening stay around a lot more. Adore this fragrance! Creates a gorgeous honey floral cloud around me for at least 5/6 hours when sprayed liberally on clothes as well.

Beautiful, just beautiful. This was gifted to me by my aunt last year. I was tentative at first because the amount of citrus notes frightened me. I don't do well with citrus-forward scents. They catch in my throat and make me cough violently. But Nectar Love is just gorgeous. It smells divine. Like the food of the gods on Mt. Olympus. It is a very honey-forward scent, but its not sweet in the way that is cloying or rotting. On first spray, its a burst of nectarine and yellow freesia. The mandarin orange and grapefruit keep the opening from hitting you in the face like a blast of sugar. Instead, its more like walking in a orchard during spring. But as the scent progresses, the vanilla seeps through very gently, adding a cosy quality to Nectar Love that makes it wearable all year round imo. I usually don't like vanilla because I find it very cloying, but it never overpowers the other notes, and instead complements them beautifully. This is a very bright, floral honey scent. Nothing like more medicinal flavours of honey. The jasmine and lily of the valley work beautifully to create this elegant, clean, sweetness. 10/10 recommend. Its beautiful. Has great longevity. Decent projection. And the price is so good. Plus, it doesn't really smell like what anyone else is wearing in a sea of Ariana Grande's Cloud and MFK Baccarat Rouge 540.

This is such a pretty intoxicating fragrance! Honestly in the sea of sweet floral fragrances this has a different edge that I really love. The start has a very mild honey scent that doesn't last too long but it gives the fragrance a nice sweet warm sent all the way through. I can definitely sense a note all the way through especially from the mid notes to the basenotes that feels like it would be the solar notes. It's like a warm skin scent from the sun if that makes any sense. It really is just lovely and it lasts really well I'm surprised I actually like it because I only really enjoy Cashmere mist from Donna Karan. It was on special at Priceline and I thought I would just give it a smell not expecting to like it much. Well it definitely surprised me in a very good way and I took home with me the 100 ml bottle! Glad I gave this a chance not only is the Scent just beautiful the bottle is absolutely gorgeous and just glamorous. This to me definitely feels like a sweet floral and I do enjoy a good floral fragrance that isn't too overly sweet but this is just a nice combination. Lovely mix of notes wonderful performance and just an overall lovely well presented fragrance that I will definitely be keeping in my collection well done Donna Karan

DKNY Nectar Love Eau de Parfum is a fragrance I really liked, but i'm slowly starting to fall in love with. Inspired by honey and bees, Nectar Love is a radiant elixir that exudes charm and light. Nectar Love is sweet, but it is a soft sweet. Never overpowering, this concoction is a very dreamy fragrance. Upon initial spray it is bright and hypnotising (fruity notes), but it settles into a very smooth vanilla woodsy skin scent. I have really grown to this scent and the bottle is too cute on your vanity! One of the best non-headache inducing florientals I have smelt in a while. I blind bought this on a whim, based off the notes. Perfect to wear alone or for layering. I tend to layer this most with Guerlain's Nettare Di Sole. Nettare Di Sole and Nectar Love are both sweet, soft scents. Mixed together the beeswax and cedar in Nectar Love really stand out, and the watery notes and honey in Nettare Di Sole come out. On my skin both dance beautifully and I smell both fragrance notes at different times during its wear. I had been looking for a replacement for Marc Jacobs "Honey" which is one of my favourites, but sadly discontinued. I am slowly becoming content with the trail I get when I mix these two. In complete bliss ❥❥

Gosh, I love this perfume so much. The initial burst is pretty polleny. Like smelling the center of a flower. You almost wonder if it is going to draw a sneeze. I walked away from it that first time. I just thought dandelion or something. But it settled down after a couple minutes to an incredible honey-vanilla, soft white flower scent that I revisited again and again. I literally could not stop smelling my wrist. It is that fabulous. While sillage is not great unless you really douse yourself in it, the longevity is pretty fantastic. The store gave me a teeny sample, but I knew that would only last me a minute and the big bottle was in my immediate future. I noticed it said solar notes and this truly is sunshine in a bottle. Thirteen notes seems like a lot (way more than any perfume really should have) but they marry so well it is not overwhelming or muddy. Just the perfect perfume. And such beautiful packaging. Could be a cloying scent in very hot weather, but has been great between freezing and seventy-ish. Oh, and it will linger on your sweater or jacket forever.
