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.

This is beautiful, tested it whilst on a city break in Rome. For some reason I expected it to smell of honey and I hate honey so I was expecting to hate it. It is sweet fresh and citrusy and juicy- it is a beautiful scent. I am definitely going to purchase this, although hard to come by in the UK. One of the best from DKNY. It has several notes I haven't detected before such as mirabele and beeswax. Also someone please tell me what on earth are solar notes? I am desperate to know!! This fragrance is definitely different in scent to a lot out there, but it is not too different it is still sweet fruity juicy and hence safe. But it has that kick about it. It is such a pleasant scent, it just made me happy and lifted my spirits. Definitely give this one a go. Very underrated fragrance from DKNY. I detect orange flower and lilly in this also which are 2 of my favourite notes. Honestly, this fragrance was a very pleasant suprise for me. Not how I expected it to smell at all.

This really gets better as it ages, so don't judge it by a freshly opened bottle. After a while the honey/beeswax rounds out and it becomes more complex and a little longer lasting. It is sweet, bright, and a bit shower gel-y (freshy synthetic nectarine and freesia are there) but in a more unique way thanks to the beeswax base, and even though it's not listed, I swear I get a chamomile tea top note that l love. This chamomile smell is more noticeable in the spray than the rollerball. Overall, it's lovely and interesting if you aren't turned off by sweet smells. One thing to note: although the bottle is fruit-shaped, this is not technically a Be Delicious flanker and it does not smell too much like Be Delicious. That said, if I tried hard, I could probably imagine I smell golden delicious apple in there as well.

I love everything about this one. It starts off honey sweet and orange blossom without the heaviness that honey can often bring. But what's really interesting is that as it changes through the day, the honey fades and the aldehydic accord comes out, so I end up with the neroli soap clean smell later in the day, when I need it the most. It is a bit weak, so spray generously right before you dress, and don't expect projection. It reminds you it's there if you get warm or have an errant splash of water hit it or something, otherwise you'll have to tuck your nose into your shirt to smell it. So it really is kind of like an "I washed with a nice soap" smell on the heels of a light honey perfume. I just wish another perfume house would make a similar scent, turned up a bit. Please tell me if you find one like this.

This is hands down my favorite perfume of all time. The primary note is honey. Straight up honey. It smells like honey with a hint of vanilla. Those are really all you smell, in my opinion. My SO, brother, and daughter all love this on me. My SO is very sensitive to perfume, and there are few he likes. This scent is strong enough to smell but you are not going to leave a scent behind at all. I only wish it was a tad stronger and lasted much longer. This is a scent you will need to reapply. If you do not like sweet scents you will not like this. If you like sweet scents that are fairly sweet and you enjoy the smell of vanilla and honey then you will absolutely love this.

Because of the cutesy bottle, this fragrance seems to get overlooked and underrated. There are not many beeswax prominent scents out there at this price. When this scent came out a few years ago, I received a sample rollerball and immediately fell in love and bought a giant bottle. It is definitely heavy on the beeswax and honey, but with the mirabelle and vanilla, it cools down to a lukewarm, super comforting beeswax. Not cloying and not overly sweet. It lingers around you all day. I find this the perfect scent to transition between seasons, especially late summer to fall. Love it!

Finally got my hands on this. 🤌🏼😩😌 Definitely a honey/beeswax scent on my skin. It comes through very strongly. I can also smells the be delicious DNA in here, which makes this a bit less sweet. I enjoy sweet fragrances and gourmands but I also like greens and florals etc. so I’m in love so far. Will update on how long it lasts on skin/clothes. Sadly this one doesn’t last on my skin or clothes. After about an hour it’s completely vanished. I still like it, and continue to use it. I’d say you can wear this perfume all year around but would work best around spring/summer.

I was just gifted a bottle of this perfume, and woah, I'm in love! Like another user said, I definitely detect chamomile in this-- the scent itself just reminds me of a sunny morning sipping chamomile and honey tea. Just a warm, happy fragrance. What really threw me, though, is that this fragrance reminds me so, so much of one I wore back during my Freshman year of high school (17 years ago, wow.), and I've been trying to find it for years. Now that I have this, I can delve deep into the notes and see if I can find that mystery perfume!

This could easily be a sister to Viva la Golden Couture. The sister that is willing to stick around! Starts off very strongly of fresh honey comb and pollen. Such a warm smell that immediately makes me long for spring, which makes this fragrance ideal for winter. As it dries down you get a little more of the vanilla, fruitiness and a hint of jasmine. Perfect for the office yet perfect for a date. Not gonna lie.... when I wear this I smell so good I want to make out with myself.

Very unique and dare I say... niche? This smells like you are walking through woods in spring, but x100 better than that actually smells in real life. Lush green foliage. Freshly bloomed flowers. Tangy cedar wood... and a honey bomb. This isn’t just a fragrance—this is a whole experience. The notes are all very vividly realistic and do not smell synthetic whatsoever. The bottle is cute. I’ve never smelled anything else like this. If you’ve tried it, you get it.

Love at the first sniff! Let me hold on to summer 2018 for awhile, please! Nectar Love is as sweet, warm and beautiful as the summer that just finished. This is fruity in a subtle, soft way, thanks to the honey notes. It has also a fresh element in it. Solar notes?! How do they create them? Sounds interesting. Cute bottle and a wonderful, happy scent. My want list just got a new member!

I purchased a rollerball of this a few years ago. It has only gotten better and better. I am a honey lover. Montale’s Honey Aoud is one of my absolute favorite scents. Nectar Love is gloriously honey - but a sweeter, softer, more feminine take on honey. For my preferences, I won’t wear honey Aoud in the humid summers... but I do wear Nectar Love and it really fills that gap!

This is a lovely sweet, fruity fragrance in the opening and with time it starts to smell like honey which is really nice. Unfortunately for some people, it smells slightly soapy in the drydown but that's more likely the quality of the ingredients as I've noticed in affordable body mists aswell. I would personally buy this scent if it came in a body wash but not a perfume

I love this scent. I find it very unique, you are either going to love it or you're going to hate it. At first I wasn't a fan but after a few more wears it was intoxicating to me. It was sweet and warm and had a beautiful citrus honey white flower scent. I really really enjoy wearing it! The price is reasonable and such a cool fragrance to add to any collection

I almost didn't buy this perfume because of the mixed reviews. But I'm glad I went with my gut instinct and brought it. It smells lovely, it's a scent that one can wear all year round. I smell lots of honey,vanilla, Lilly of the Valley, Jasmine, a bit of gardinia and a hint of nectar. Somewhat long lasting on my skin....So I'm also happy with that.

I bought different DKNY perfumes at my chemist near my house so I've got a few of different ones I have stories my ny necter love and this one I'm talking about is necter love and I really love necter love honestly I love it so much it smells so beautiful it smells so sweet and so honey and fruity I sprayed it on myself and I love it
