Honey

It's been a long time that I have honey in my wishlist but I couldn't find it's tester or sample.finally I decided to blindbuy it I love collecting Marc Jacobs bottles but I'm not a fan of it's perfumes.Daisy and Daisy so fresh are nice but not my thing.Oh Lola is pretty but very faint and not memorable.Lola is more intresting but I don't enjoy it's tones of pink pepper.Decadence was the only one I find price-worthy as it is complex,unique and strong but now I can also name Honey as a Marc Jacobs which I like I imagined honey to be simple,linear,childish and faint.I was wrong because it's not faint by any means.it's not a heavy perfume still projects well My first try was a huge disappointment.I bought it because I love honey,honey suckle,orange flower,pear and vanilla but it was very lemony on my skin.the only thing I could smell was lemon hard candy or yellow lollipop. I don't know what exactly fruit punch is but I know that I can mostly detect citrusy fruits not pear or peach(or it's a very fresh kind of peach not a ripe and sweet one) but what made me start to like it was that after a while I can detect less lemon candy and more florals and florals are so lovely here.I adore honeysuckle and it's here hand in hand with a light orange flower while some not so sweet lemon candy sparkle makes it youthful and playful.it's honey isn't more pronounced than Mariah Carey Honey but thanks god it's not as tart fruity as Mariah Carey's Honey which is loaded with sourish pineapple and lemon Honey is fresh but has a little sweetness.it's delicate but isn't faint.it's playful but is not juvenile.it's clean but not soapy.it's truely feminine,bright and summery,refreshing and easy to like. I wish that I could pickup more honeysuckle,more honey and more sweetness but I can't say that it isn't lovely as it is.it may grow on me after a while and become more floral and sweeter.who knows For now I LOVE it's cute bottle and I like it's scent still I believe that 100$ that they ask for a 100mil bottle of it in my country is too much for it

WHIPPED HONEYSUCKLE. The original formulation, signed by perfurmers Ann Gottlieb (5th Avenue Elizabeth Arden), and Annie Buzantian (Pleasures Estee Lauder), opens with a burst of sparkling fruity florals featuring pear, that deepen into a honeysuckle heart with fruity, whipped & powdery touches, all resting on a honey & vanilla woods base. Overall this is a beautiful fresh & floral honey-magnolia perfume with a 'clean' honey scent. I bought this perfume when it was first released, after smelling the scent trail on someone at work. To my nose the honey in this perfume does not smell sticky or crystalline, but rather a fresh and floral honey. Smelling it you could imagine seeing the entire life arc of the magnolia blossom until it finds its way into a magnolia & clover honey at a farmer's market. Average or slightly above average performance, and re-released bottles benefit from dark storage for a few weeks after first sprays. Contrast to Dot Marc Jacobs: These are different, but there are some similarities with honeysuckle and they share a similar DNA. Dot leans more to red fruit and has the bread-like quality. Honey is a little sweeter. Roughly equivalent performance, or maybe slightly better performance with Honey. Contrast to Joyful Escada: These are different, but there is a similar scent profile. Joyful is a stronger performer and lean slightly more perfume-y, while Honey is more honey forward. Overall: Average or slightly above average performance, with a beautiful scent profile, this is one of the best honeysuckle perfumes imo. It's a longtime love for me. Enjoy! Update 08/04/24: sprayed this on my hand this morning. My half empty 2014 bottle has turned quite sweet with the honey more forward, but not cloying. The fruit-punch note reads like melon-peony to my nose, and I smell this more up close on the skin, while in the air is a beautiful floral honey & honeysuckle vibe. Still a love.

This is such a cute, happy fragrance. With a name like "honey" I figured it would be heavy and sticky, more fit for fall and winter than the warmer months, but that's not it at all. It's light, it's sweet, it's youthful, it's joyful. It isn't the most complex fragrance ever and can come off as a little linear but that's okay. I mostly get fruit punch with maybe a splash of sparkling wine, orange blossom, honeysuckle, and a light glaze of honey out of this. It isn't an aggressively honey fragrance but it's definitely there. I feel like I miss the pear in the opening and the vanilla and woods in the base. As for longevity, it's on the weaker side of moderate, lasting around 3-4 hours on me. I wish it lasted longer and projected better, but it's still so happy I want to wear it all the time. I found this for $40 for a 3.4 oz bottle at Ross, so I'd say it's worth it. Edit: I'd say longevity is poorer than I originally stated. It only lasts about 2 hours on me, I suppose to be expected from an EDT. I tried overspraying it and when I did, I picked up this weird bug spray/urine vibe. I love this fragrance so much when I use about 3 sprays, I wish the performance weren't so terrible.

I can't even count the amount of compliments I've received on this fragrance ! It is sumptuous, young and sweet ! Its perfect for a valley girl,someone who is preppy, teens into young adulthood. I wore this to college daily and literally had men and women constantly complimenting me on how good I smell.Deep honey with a sweet caramel and slight vanilla undertone light florals as well. This scent is a must have ! Perfect blind buy you will not be disappointed. It isn't a seductive scent, you'll smell kind,fun and bubbly. I'm sorry if that sounds weird but that's the human characteristics I think of when I smell this. Edit: I have a bone to pick with Marc Jacobs ! Why would you change the beautiful bottle I got a new one and it only has one bumblee on the cap and a generic marc jacobs pasted on the bottle its so plain now. I really miss the old bottle and wished I had save my old one. The fragrance is just as good but the bottle has lost all WOW value. Also Im confused why this is deemed as " discontinued " when they are actively producing more and making new bottles. My new ones production date is of 2022.

This is pretty linear on me, but I love it! The beginning starts off slightly more fruity (a hint of the orange) and the dry down has some warmth (from the honey) but what shines through most on me is the honeysuckle - photorealistic, as someone else said below. I had been looking for a good honeysuckle perfume, some of them can be too cloying or synthetic, but this is PERFECT. It feels sunny, sweet, and airy. It's not overpowering (as long as you don't overspray) and smells bright and comforting. The scent is also slightly nostalgic to me, likely from living in the country and smelling honeysuckle growing up. It really captures that innocent summer day feeling. This could be headache inducing if oversprayed. I only do one spray at a time, and I find the longevity to be pretty good, though I typically refresh a perfume throughout the day, anyway. The bottle is really cute (mine has the extra flower on the side) - fantastic design that feels true to the perfume.
