Miel & Citron (Honey & Lemon)

what a lovely, gorgeous and enchanting scent! the way that vanilla embraces the honey, the lemmon and the cinnamon is remarkable, very well balanced... the perfect amount of citrus and sweetness! One of my favourite perfumes, clearly. this is the most confortable scent I've ever had... calm, peaceful, smells like Christmas morning to me... I can ́t explain the feeling, I feel warm inside and in peace with myself. Close your eyes and you go to that secret place, to that enchanting and happy place that only exists in your mind and in your soul, the place where you can really be yourself and you really feel good about it. That's the feeling I'm getting with this fragrance I wear this perfume 'till the last drop, night and day, and even to sleep. Miel & Citron it's one of those special fragrances that can be suitable for every occasion, perfect for every season. It's sweet, warm, beautiful, special.

21. January 2011 This is my favorite scent for Christmas and new year only!!! Vanilla, honey and a tiny bit of lemon are getting me into right mood before Christmas (only if it ́s snowing! That ́s obligatory) and New Year. Try to spray it onto your fur collar or fur coat and you will feel like when you was little and expecting a miracle on a Christmas day! Very warm and comforting scent! Update: This has been indeed discontinued now. I do not understand why, cause it was very widely available until this year. I have bought my last bottle about a year ago. Too bad that this one also has an expiration date (YES; TAHT`S TRUE) that is written on the box so beware when you buy it unboxed! Mine half a bottle will expire in 04/2012, but i do not know how it will affect the quality of the fragrance.... So sad...

2020, and my bottle of this still smells amazing. It was the second bottle of fragrance I ever purchased (first was Pacifica Blood Orange from a Barnes and Noble, when BN was still a thing) and the first scent that really set me off as a perfume lover. I have a few dozen now, including five other by L'Occitane (and a half dozen by Pacifica). This beautiful warm honey and citrus has soured just a tiny bit, after ten years, since it was was originally a very bright and clear honey, but it still wears on my skin in the same way as always, very cheerful and comforting and with real depth and spice and longevity. I love this scent so much and wish L'Occitane would bring it back. This and their Neroli remain my favorite of their scents that I know.

I've been collecting fragrances for over 40 years and enjoy many different perfumes for many different occasions. Miel and Citron is very special to me. I was born in August and when I wear it I am enveloped in the warm, sweet embrace of summer as it inexorably gives way to fall/winter. The first burst of lemon and cinnamon doesn't disappoint as it promises of sweetness to come. I'm partial to sweets, so I love the odor of honey unfolding then settling into vanilla and patchouli. This fragrance works for me. Through the dog days of summer to the cool crisp months when I snuggle up with a cup of tea laced with honey.

This is one of my favorite fragrances. I don’t like the cloying sweet scents, have headache from them. But the Honey & Lemon is mild, sweet, lightly encompass as a soft, warm pullover. The citrus scent good complete the mild sweetness of vanilla and caramel. This fragrance makes me happy and balanced, so I have in my reticule a small vial from the bottle.

I still have a small amount of the Miel & Citron shimmer version. I guard it with my life!!! :) Keep in mind the shimmer version is slightly different than the original honey and lemon eau de toilette The original is a heavier, more evening-type fragrance that is more complex than the lighter shimmering version.

I miss this perfume so much. I finished up my bottle two years ago and kept it. I occasionally pick it up to smell the lingering scent. I tried to buy a dupe from an online company that reproduces discontinued perfume, but it wasn't even close. If anyone has a suggestion for something similar, please message me.

Fantastic, festive scent. Very natural and mood lifting. Beautiful honey with lemon - like a tea with both. Slightly spiced with cinnamon. So comforting and lovely to wear. Perfect for festive season. I adore it. It's perfect.

yup, it is very very similar to "L" by lolita lempicka, only it's not that strong, and instead of grapefruit it has lemon. Doesn;t smell that much like honey, it's more like... sweet vanilla.

To me this is love... A little linear on its own, lovely when layed. My favourate combo is to layer Miel & Citron over Laura Mercier Neroli, sexy and alluring with amazing depth.

I LOVE this perfume! The mixture of the sweet and sour notes are so interesting, and appealing. As someone said below, it reminds me a bit of "L" de Lolita Lempicka. Yummy!

i really want to buy another bottle of this but it's no longer available. I'm glad that i found L de Lolita Lempicka, but i love miel & citron more

This is LOVE and HEAVEN IN A BOTTLE. Wish so badly they'd bring it back. I am HOARDING my bottle and lotion but the lotion is getting sad with age.

Why was this discontinued? In the era of gourmand I have yet to find anything as beautiful and would love to find something similar

This is a high quality fragrance that happens to be on the sweet side. It's not as good as the shimmering edition though.

very similar to Lolita lempica ...... but better

Once I tested it on skin, but I would like to test it more times. I was totally enchanted by it - at least after the first phase. But later the lemon note gradually disappeared, and only the honey stayed... which started to resemble some kind of incense stick. So there's a smokey quality at the end. At least on my skin.

I like this one a lot -- I'm into gourmands. My kids (preschool-age) love it, if that tells you anything. I'm glad I have a big bottle of it, given that it's discontinued. I'd get Miel & Vanille if it weren't also discontinued. Oh well.

A very sweet scent. Starts out a bit spicy, but not cinnamon spice, more of a ginger. But that goes away and you are left with a warm, milky sweet. The lasting power is good, at least 4 hours.

I find no similarities between this and Lolita lempicka Wich I adore, but I do fint it exactly the same as B&B works sensual amber a copy cat... anyone agrees?

I tried it once in store, and indeed it reminds me of my beloved L de Lolita Lempicka. However I still prefer Lolita, which I think is more rounded.

This version of the perfume is AWFUL compared to the shimmering addition of this fragrance. The shimmering one smells much more natural and not as sugary synthetic sweet. The shimmering version also smells true to its name and the only note I can easily detect in this perfume is a migrane inducing vanilla. so unfortunate that the shimmering one is limited addition. So guys if you are looking for a honey perfume this one in my opinion isnt a very good one! the now limited addition shimmering version is fantastic so try it while you can! I emailed this to Locctaine and they told me in the UK and in the U.S the shimmering version should be around about another 3 months. I suspect it may come back, I have a feeling the shimmering version is more natural and it could have something to do with why it is now limited addition. but I am not sure.

At the time I purchased it, I *thought* I liked it...but then again, it was in the L'Occitane store and competing with dozens of other smells. It was my first indication that "gourmand" fragrances were not for me. The patchouli, honey and caramel give off a 'rotten' accord that just makes me queasy. (I have the same reaction to Casmir, which I used to own and sadly cannot stomach.) I do not get 'fresh' at all from this--sorry, lovers.

This is not my favorite one, I prefer the shimmering version from 2009. I feel this one is not balanced nor does it match the body products of the same line. However, everything that this one doesn't do for me the Shimmering version does, so I can't and won't complain. If you smelled it and, like me, was wondering, try the other version and maybe it will work for you.

This fragrance behaves like a wave ... or a see-saw. First sniff - I get honey only. After a few minutes - only lemon. After a quarter - honey again. And so on and so on ... I don't get any other notes. Cleverly composed :) And it lasts FOREVER! although not my cup of tea.

Had to fight to get a bottle on ebay, mostly because I already own and love L and wanted to see whether this is indeed a better version of L. Well to my nose it is not (thank God, otherwise this would prove a very expensive preference!) They smelled almost the same to me,maybe Miel & Citron has lemon instead of bitter orange? Cannot really find any other differences. L lasts and projects much better, too. Let alone it can be found for really cheap online at the moment! If Miel & Citron wasn't discontinued I would perhaps wear it for spring, keeping L for winter. But discontinued and hard to find as it is I won't really bother buying it again! All in all, a lovely perfume 99% identical to L de Lolita Lempicka, but much more overrated nowadays due to its 'rare' status. Do not worry if you cannot spend the $$$ to buy it in order to compare it to L, because they are almost the same and definitely equally good!

It is raining outside. It does so most of the time where I live. And the sun goes down unexpectedly fast. And it's cold. It is only October, but I needed to dig out my hat and warm gloves hidden on the bottom of the drawer, not to mention the huge black scarf, lying forgotten somewhere in the wardrobe for the last couple of months. And when I come back home, all I dream of is a cup of tea with lemon and honey. Warm, sweet, but still refreshing senses after a long day. Or a glass of homemade mulled wine (which by the way I think Im gonna make for myself today). I know this description might not seem to concern the fragrance itself, but... it just seems like a perfect companion on those cold, dark evenings. It is sweet and cozy, yet it does not make me drowsy. Lemon makes the sweet components a bit sharper, the caramel blends wonderfully with vanilla. It makes me feel really good, relaxed, at home.

Miel et Citron is my second purchase from L'Occitane and I tried it because of my wonderful experience with their Green tea and Mint scent this summer. I had been looking for a honey based scent without too much luck in my price range so I gave it a try. Great success. There is plenty of honey in this one but the abundance of lemon keeps it from becoming heavy and cumbersome. The notes list carmel and cinnamon but these additions are understated and only complement the honey lemon combo. The patchouli is also understated but present in the base, fortunately it is very mild as a too earthy patchouli would take this in a very different and green direction that would spoil the subtle gourmand here. I also like the handcream version of this scent, not only for its fine fragrance but for its long lasting moisture.

I had the opportunity to smell this on vacation. It has the possibility of being a warm, comforting scent...it's just not MY type of comfort. It smells like warm golden honey with just a bit of lemon zest sprinkled in. It actually reminds me of the of the lemon, tea, and honey that I drink when I'm ill. Overall, it's a pleasant scent, but nothing special in my opinion. I "think" I would have appreciated more patchouli or SOMETHING, just to add a bit more character. BUT, if you like the smell of pure honey with a slight zing...then this one's for you! BTW, It didn't last too long on me either.

Cannot believe they discontinued this...along with the Gentle Honey Water without alcohol. These were the best and my favorite honey scents. Not sickly, not overpowering, just creamy but zesty and comforting. To me the cinnamon was very present from the go but you totally lose it during the dry down where you get caramel, patchouli and the most inoffensive honey youve ever sniffed. I always got compliments on this, i felt motherly, warm, comforting and it made me happy wearing it. Another one bites the dust :(

Take a Halls honey-filled lemon cough drop, remove the menthol, drown it in warm honey and voila! That's my description of Miel and Citron by L'Occitane. I'm a male and despite it being more on the heavily sweet and syrupy side, I believe men can pull this off quite well considering there's no floral notes in it. This would be good worn alone or layered with certain Jo Malone fragrances. This actually would be a nice addition to the Jo Malone line... agree? A very warm, inviting fragrance... Very nice!

Bought a bottle of it on ebay since it's discontinued. I got it July 1st, 2020 but it's basically brand new. I assumed I would love it since I love honey and lemon, but the cinnamon in this is just so overwhelming it actually makes me wanna gag. I'm so upset and disappointed (it wasn't cheap). But now I guess I know I don't like fragrances with cinnamon. I will hold on to this though and try it again in the fall or winter, and hopefully it will be a different experience.

I still have my bottle that I bought in 2008-2009 when I lived in Versailles. It's half-full now, and I only use it when I want to go back in time. It still smells almost exactly the same as it did when it was new. The lemon-honey combo is among the most beautiful things I have ever smelled. Sparkling, shimmering, lovely. I don't really get a lot of cinnamon or patch, and the vanilla is really just a background thing. I had the shower-gel, too. It was even better!

A light, sweet, refreshing gourmand, for fall or winter daytime wear. Uncomplicated, but not boring. It smells exactly like a lemon cookie. This would be the kind of fragrance I would wear when I would want something subtle and non-offensive. I think people who don't usually tend towards gourmand scents would like this, as it's not cloying. Also good for people who have to be in close proximity to others because of their work. It's also very soothing.

I agree with Vuelo about the vanilla. I have been wearing Vanile Noir de Mexique and noted the vanilla connection between the two. L'Occitane however starts out with a light and sweet lemon burst with the smooth honey drifting in after a few minutes. It's the warm vanilla scent that stays with me and is divine. It is a beautiful comforting fragrance which is why I choose it most often when I hold student counselling sessions. Lovely.

I haven't tried L'Occitane en Provence scents, as I'm still struggling to find them, but I think one of their main assets is their natural ingridients, and control of quality in this sort of scense; thats what distinguishes them from the rest and perhaps where the higher price comes from.. But I'm still about to try them this is the note: I found their prices to be very reasonable..in fact..very reasonable

ood luck finding this one because I was recently in the L' Occitane store and the sales lady told me they discontinued selling the perfumes with honey because Peta was down their throats because they claim to be an "all natural" product store and were wondering why they weren't concerned about the declining Bee population. They do not carry this anymore.

Ooh, this scent is delish. I usually detest scents that are so sweet they're cloying (I find ANGEL to be heinous.) But this is just scrumptious. I don't really get any honey or lemon...more like caramel and a very mild patchouli. I suspect the citrus is there, and that's why it balances the sweetness. I think this might be my new go-to winter perfume.

Very nice. Very sweet smell. Vanilla notes are more dominating here rather than Lemon & Honey. Light but with a long lasting power, good for individuals who don't like to be overpowered by perfume. Reminds me of Yves Rocher Vanilla EDT from the Les Plaisirs Nature line. Very similar scent and Yver Rocher products are much cheaper than L'Occitane.

I love this fragrance and it is one of my all time, year-round favorites. It is the only fragrance I've found that realistically captures the intoxicating fragrance of a real beehive. When I open up the lid of one of my hives and listen to the gentle hum of activity, the smell that rises up and surrounds me is warm, sensual and sweet.

this is extremely light and ON THE DRYDOWN, it has a lemon birthday cake vibe, very very close to the drydown of Franck Boclet Vanille & Xerjoff Lira, but with substantially less substance. Overall it's for what it is, an EDC concentration of a citrusy birthday cake IF U CAN FIND IT FOR A REASONABLE PRICE.

I don't know what's wrong with both this and Eau de Miel. They are both nice scents, but I can't wear them or even stand too close to someone wearing them, because they give me instant nausea, headache and make me want to puke. Unbearable. That's a shame since they both smell good.

They still sell this in some department stores in Italy (i've seen it in "COIN") .. Nothing special to me, too much citrus and pachuli and not enough honey. I was expecting something more balanced. I'd buy only if it was cheaper.

Great one. Spices have their stamp here. It is multi-layered, but not overly cluttered fragrance. Refreshing and intriguing at the same time. It reminded me L de Lempicka as well, but I would go for Miel & Citron.

This is NOT discontinued in my country, they still sell it in the store, or perhaps it's their last bottles??? I love this, I have the candle and it smells like childhood and christmas. :)

This is very nice fragrance. Nice mixture of citrus and honey. It is lighter then "Eau de miel"

My favourite, it's the most delicious fragrance I've ever worn, so sweet, fresh and sexy.

Nice, but to my nose almost exactly the same as L de Lolita Lempicka. Strange!

don't know why it gives me a headache and makes me eyes water. Cannot hear it.
