Miel Bébé

Got a strip-sample of this with several other fragrances from this brand, and this one... I hope it's not deceiving me because it's a paper tester, but I'm getting that lovely magazine-page scent that I so adore! None of the other scents have this note despite being on the same paper, so I'm crossing my fingers that it's all from the perfume itself. Definitely will be purchasing this, can't stop sniffing my arm lol. Desperately hoping it will smell the same from the bottle! edit: got my bottle today and I'm so relieved to love it! And so happy to have gotten the discontinued 2.5oz size, as this is a scent I no doubt want a big bottle of. This reads as a floral to me, but a very unique one. It's flowery in a syrupy, warm kind of way. The sweetness of the honey really shines through, and meshes so nicely with the praline. Meanwhile the orange keeps it smelling light and fresh, not too heavy. As far as my goal goes to smell like a perfume sample off of a magazine page, a pretty floral mixed with that lovely paper smell (if you get it, you get it) this might be my closest find so far! No way I'll be able to stop myself from wearing this year round, but I think it'll be especially beautiful in the spring. Don't wanna jump the gun, but I think this might be a new top 5-er for me :)

I absolutely LOVE this perfume, and it has become a staple in my collection - possibly my new signature scent, even! It opens with a bright, crisp note of orange dripping in honey, just sweet and sticky enough to make you think of a spoonful of honey without it becoming sickening. As it dries down on my skin it mellows out, and honestly reminds me of the smell of a newborn baby; no, not a baby doll / baby doll head, but an ACTUAL newborn baby. Subtly sweet; clean, but not soapy; fresh, but not cutting. It's soft and nostalgiac and comforting. When I wear this (which is most days now), I can't help but smile every time I catch a whiff of it. I also think this is a safe fragrance to wear around others, even those who might be a bit sensitive to fragrance, because the drydown is so delicate and inoffensive. It doesn't have tremendous projection, and I find that the longevity depends on how active I have been that day and whether or not I primed my skin with lotion first; but regardless, even if I spray it on myself first thing in the morning, I still can smell the faintest hint of it by bedtime, which just simply makes me happy.

Definitely smells like expensive shampoo, it gives luxury spa freshie, so I get the white tea comparisons but not a gourmand honey. I don’t understand the Gucci Flora comparisons at alllllllll. Been wearing it for less than an hour so I have a feeling the sweetness might flourish after another hour or two. I’m starting to pick it up more as the orange blossom evaporates. This one’s oil based so be careful with your clothing. I’d definitely spray this in my hair and around pulse points. Its a dry-smelling honey which makes it smell a bit more floral and artificial, but not cheap or juvenile. I’m supposed to be on a buying freeze but I might have to sneak a full sized bottle of this one. Its an easy everyday wear, inoffensive, and I work in healthcare so that should speak volumes about it not being too saccharine. I love a good santal frag and this one hits the mark. Even though I expected more sticky-sweet-dessert honey. I’m not mad at this floral take either.

this caught my eye at the Ulta checkout line and i decided to give it a go on my wrist. SO happy i did! :) this smells nectary, pretty like soft flower petals, and just delish. perfect for casual day time / office wear. its fresh without being overly sharp (i find a lot of "fresh" scents quite screechy and even head-ache inducing). think if Marc Jacobs Daisy + Honey had the perfect love child. <333 i used to love those 2 frags back in middle school, but re-visiting them as an adult, i sadly found a cheapy metallic element that i could not get behind. Miel Bebe makes up for that disappointment with its almost creamy composition, and reminds me that growing up is just reimagining the things you loved long ago. it doesnt last very long, but for the beautiful price point of $28, i will be picking up a bottle righttt after work next payday.*~

I found this at Marshall’s and I fell in immediate love. I couldn’t stop sniffing it as I strolled around. On me, it smells like golden honey and juicy orange. The sandalwood sometimes comes through after it’s dried down, but the sweetness curbs the pickle smell. This fragrance is heavenly and sweet but not syrupy. It’s somewhat jammy but I love that. I feels like this is great for most weather and is great for day but could be worn in the evening maybe layered with something moodier. This has a nice soft projection and lasts quite awhile on me. In my job, I get sweaty and I work with animals. I could still smell this on my scrubs after my shift with no reapplications. I may get a backup bottle if I see anymore while out.

Gorgeous scent. Clean, juicy, and effortlessly put-together. On my skin, it smells like a daytime version of Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl—lighter and easygoing. The pictures don’t do it justice though; it’s not honey-forward. There's a small touch of honey that's beautifully blended. But if you’re after a true honey scent, this isn’t it. The real star is the mandarin, giving it a sweet, fresh, nostalgic vibe—like an elevated version of baby shampoo (in the best way). It feels like a girl who just stepped out of the shower: white shirt, heels, gold jewelry. Feminine, clean, and quietly sexy. Perfect for the office with a light spray, and ideal for casual dates or daytime hangouts.

I was out at my local Marshalls hunting for Fleur de Blonde and I found this instead. Miel Bebe was on my list anyway, after that delightfully shady article was published, so I went for it. You gotta love sweet gourmands or it just won't work for you. On its own it is very creamy-sweet, touch of citrus and floral. I don't get much sandalwood. Comforting, delicate, transparent, and doesn't leave much of a trail, but I'm constantly sniffing myself when I wear it alone or layered. Lasts about 4h on skin, longer on clothing. It's not very deep, so it's really, really good for layering whenever you want to pour some sugar on a more serious scent, or add a creaminess to a floral scent.

I have a big collection and this one is an easy reach for me! The citrus is bright and fresh, the honey is sweet (but not overly sweet) and the creamy sandalwood marries the components creating an addictive quality. To me — it’s a cozy, comforting scent that’s very wearable and an easy compliment-getter. This one scratched an itch as I’ve been eyeing Gucci Flora Gardenia for sometime...While not a perfect match, they smell extremely similar and are equal in performance, but Miel Bebe (like all LMG’s is a fraction of the price!) I’m thrilled to have the large bottle and have made a substantial dent!

I forgot I had this in my collection. When I revisited this page and saw that people are saying it smells like Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia, I ran to my perfumes to see for myself. I loooooove Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia! They both smell identical. If someone blind folded me and told me to identify the 2, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. If you don’t want to spend the $150 price tag, this is a good dupe! I think I’ll be wearing this one if I want that soapy floral scent. I remember longevity doesn’t last long for me but hopefully it’s a different story since it’s been sitting for a while!

I absolutely love this scent. I blind bought it at Marshall's....and now it's a favorite. For a cheap perfume, it does so well on my skin. It is more of a skin scent as it doesn't project well, but I smell it on myself all day and it makes me happy. I'm not a heavy sweet type of scent person, and I prefer clean, green or citrusy scents. The way the honey, orange and praline blend in this scent works for me and smells beautiful on my skin. It is a clean kind of sweet- yes like baby shampoo, maybe, but done well. My husband is picky and he loves it as on me as well.

This singlehandedly had everyone in the Marshalls perfume aisle I was shopping at go "something smells good" and I had about two people ask me for the name of what I sprayed. I tried this at Ulta one day and I think the other smells from all the other samples made it so I couldn't smell it fully. This is gorgeous. It's sophisticated, but not with traditional honey---which is cool, because it's different. I usually don't enjoy citrus notes, but they blend really well with the other notes here!

I’m pleasantly surprised with this one! Initially when I sprayed on paper I didn’t really think it smelt all that great, I just felt like it smelt like alcohol? But once I gave it a spray on my skin, it smelt so lovely. I’m definitely picking up on a lot of the honey but also a lot of the woody scent. Personally I feel this leans more unisex? While it’s sweet, that woody note gives it a more unisex scent. Overall I really actually really love this, I would purchase this again if I run out.

this is honestly one of the most gorgeous scents to me. i pull a lot of the orange/honey/praline notes, but in the most refined way. i usually don’t like honey notes as a lot of the time they feel very cloying to me, but the honey in this fragrance is light and sophisticated. everyone else has already said this but this is DEF giving rich woman energy. my only problem is that it lasts maybe an hour tops, and that’s with me spraying down boots. at least it only cost me $18!

Smells of honey and soap. Very elegant, clean and effortless. This is an all season, any time of day scent as well. I love it! An excellent surprise while browsing Urban Outfitters with my daughter. I will get a lot of use out if this. ETA: I bought this 3 days ago and keep wanting to wear it EVERY DAY! I had to force myself to choose something else from my collection yesterday. It really is that good. Could become my signature. What an incredible find.

I had to come back and redo my impression. I did not appreciate this fragrance in the winter, but it came alive in the spring and I just ordered my second bottle... I layer it with the oil and I have to tell you it is so incredibly pleasant. It’s not a crazy head turner, keeps small scent bubble; have to get pretty close to smell it but it’s very similar to lake & skye’s 11:11, in that it is extremely pleasant on the skin and a cozy, beautiful scent.

i never thought of this scent as sweet until reading about it. i'm having a hard time picking up any notes of honey, i feel like it's subtly sweet and overall gives a sophisticated vibe. it's honestly perfect for any occasion and doesn't feel overpowering at all, while still being bold enough. i usually pair it with at least one other perfume and multiple times people around me have said i smell good when wearing it! just wish it lasted longer 3

Just found this at Marshall’s and it was the only one left. I have wanted to try these perfumes for ages but don’t know what took me so long. Like @laurelcherise, I couldn’t stop smelling it. I would have bought every scent they had. It was only $20 and the bottle is huge at 2.5 fl oz. I get as sense of Sarah Jessica Parker lovely in this but this is lighter and fresher. Can’t wait to try it again!

Oh this is good! Not what I was expecting at all, because I’ve tried several honey scents, including one from Ellis Brooklyn and I can’t get on board with that level of sweetness or that pollen note. But this is gorgeous. Sweet, but gently woody from the sandalwood. Slightly floral with a hint of mandarin zest. Clean and fresh, the sweetness is perfectly balanced. On my favorite list

Been wearing this for about three months -- the most surprising part is that the drydown lasts forever on me as a skin scent, but it turns into a delicious warmth on my skin, the sandalwood and praline mix really well together. My skin does very well with gourmand-floral-white musk combos, so I would recommend this to anyone with similar skin chemistry compatibility.

This is gorgeous imo. I love citrus fragrances as long as they don't smell like cleaning products. This is a sweet, juicy one and I adore how the sandalwood blends with the orange and praline. The accords are well blended. I detect the honey note and it's not sticky/sappy and this makes it enjoyable for me b/c I do not like sappy sticky fragrances.
