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.

OMG I love this perfume, it smells great, I got a good bottle!!!! It starts out with a powerful punch of the punch scent which calms down fairly quick and blends nicely with the pear and orange scent. Giving it a sweet & fruity beginning that works toward the lovely orange blossom with a tang of Honeysuckle. I can smell all these notes, I must have gotten a really good bottle according to alot of the reviews I have read. Lastly the honey works in with the vanilla and a lite woody scent. It has a very good sillage with awesome long lasting scent, over 8 hours for me. If you like fruity, white floral, scent's with a touch of honey buy this for it is beautiful and fun to wear. It works great in this cold weather!!!. I wear this day or night, wearing jeans or going out. Oh yes it is the cutest bottle I have ever seen!!! The more I look around I want to thank TJMaxx for I brought this a few a days ago for $31.99 a 3.4 oz bottle, lookin like a steal for me....

I really don't understand why this perfume has so many negative reviews :( . I really, really like it. This fragrance is summer in a bottle and is really nice to use when the sun comes out. I agree with reviewers that it's not a strong honey scent, but i don't think i would like to smell of honey during summer anyway lol. Nonetheless, it's amazing and i believe Marc did this perfume just right. I'm a big lover of slightly floral, fresh scents, with just a dash of sweetness and this perfume has all of that. It's light, fresh, slightly sweet, and citrusy. I enjoy the honeysuckle & orange blossom that lingers throughout too. Regardless of this perfume being light it lasts. After my shower I could still smell it on me! I love the bottle. One of the cutest bottles out there probably and would definitely recommend based on my usage. However, I do know a lot of others don't like it so definitely test it out first. XO

I've been wearing Honey for two years and I'm only just now realizing that I never wrote anything about it. I got it as a Christmas gift in 2014, where I fell head over heels for the cute little bottle. I was 19 at the time, and had never really given a second thought to it whenever I saw it in the store. Turns out, it works so well with my skin and smells so soft and powdery. It's mostly a little mix of fruit, honeysuckle and orange blossom, and I find it so charming and pleasant. Oddly enough, I don't see it as a summer scent. Perhaps it's because I got it at Christmas and wore it every single day for months after that, but to me, it's a winter scent that reminds me of that first year I spent in college, far away from my hometown, trekking through four feet of snow to get to my favourite little restaurant in Chinatown.

I truly don't know why this has so many dislikes. I love the bottle. It's a little piece of art you can keep on your vanity. I enjoy sweet, fruity scents. To me, this smells like oranges, honeysuckle, orange blossoms, and honey. The florals in this scent are light and playful. It's a perfect balance of sweet and floral, in my opinion. It reminds me when spring begins and everything feels new and fresh again. It's definitely a young scent. I can't really imagine someone older than their twenties wearing this scent. The sillage is strong at first. When I apply this, right away, I receive compliments. Slowly, it fades to nothing in about 5 hours. I'm sure this is a reason for so many negative reviews, but then again, I got mine clearanced at TJ Max for $20. I didn't pay the retail price of $96, so I can't complain at all.

I don't understand the poor reviews - this perfume makes me feel like a beautiful blonde fairy who lives in a honeysuckle flower. Perhaps it lacks uber complexity, like other perfumes of a similar price point - but it's addicting. The honeysuckle and vanilla dry down makes my whimsy little mind full of fairies very happy. I've found a new favourite scent combination. The bottle is an art piece all on its own. It's very kitsch - the top note of punch is so fun and original. Personally, I wish the bottle was just the glass piece with a bee on the lid, but that's just me. It makes my dresser look a little cluttered and busy. It's a fantastic design, I just don't want a light bulb-looking thing next to my more traditional perfumes bottles.

A pretty, well tempered white floral mixed with a lovely fruit punch, reminds me of a candied floral breeze. Marc Jacobs "Honey" also has a good bit of oily residue for good longevity. It dries down to a comforting warm amber and vanilla bean - so fuzzy and reassuring. Elegant without being one of those 'nice innocuous' perfumes that goes either take or leave on a woman. This if fruity-floral done right, its elegant and not run of the mill. I just wish MC "Honey" had some spice, its needed in the dry down. And of course that little dotted bottle is a keeper! I really appreciate those statement pieces, its like the perfumes jewelry. It does not smell like honey, but its a sweet fruit candy concoction. Good perfume.

Honey by Marc Jacobs opens with fruit punch and honeysuckle that mellows to a gently powdery pear, some orange flower, and a touch of honey. This is definitely a “young and fun” scent. I generally avoid scents that have pear in them and was not too impressed with Dot (I got that as a gift), but received a free sample of honey and was surprised with how much I liked this! I like that Honey has a fresh floral fruitiness to it rather than some syrupy-sugar bomb that I’ve come to expect from most fruity perfumes. I get a lot of compliments and have people asking me to write down the name of it all the time. The bottle is darling too!

this is such a pretty girl scent. i get a warm, sweet chamomile tea with squeezed lemon and honey mixed in. i’m guessing that tea smell i’m getting is from the honeysuckle or the pear. the honey in this is super light and thin, not thick and syrupy sweet. i do have the older 3.4 oz bottle with the two bees so maybe it smells different from the one with newer packaging. sadly this isn’t the strongest or longest lasting on me but i am in love with the bottle and how it smells so i don’t mind! definitely smells like sunshine in a bottle like lots of people mention. this would pair so well with sunflowers from elizabeth arden!

When I was a little girl I use to play with the flower known as jungle geranium, Ixora Coccinea; I took the small flower, pulled the stigma out and at the bottom it has a small doplet of nectar... I used to taste the nectar and every time, my nose got filled with a fresh sweet aroma... This perfume reminds me of that aroma and it brings back so great memories from my childhood... Love this perfume!!! Edit; I have to confess that I have this perfume just to smell it, if I wear it it gives me headaches, but if I smell it in a handkerchief I get the delicious aroma without the headcache. WELL I ended giving it away!!

This is probably my all time favorite scent! It’s sweet, warm, girly, and simple. It’s a perfume that I love wearing year round as it’s super versatile, inoffensive, and simple in the best way. It's a very honeysuckle and white floral heavy scent in my opinion! However, the florals are softened and rounded out by the sweet honey and fruit notes. When I spray it initially, the floral and fruity notes are more forward, but as it dries, the warm honey and vanilla notes come through to create the most delicious and bright scent ever :) I love this perfume.

Oh my, this fragrance.. This is by far the best Marc Jacobs perfume I have smelled thus far. Its absolutely beautiful.. Its fresh, sweet, delicious, and so delicate.. I can definitely smell the honeysuckle... But, most people say they don't notice much of the honey. Its a very subtle note. But it's perfect, because it wasnt meant to be straight up honey. It was supposed to capture the scent of a bumble bee. The flowers, the honey, the sunshine.... Mmm... I love it. This is a scent even a bumblebee would love :)

Wow, I completely forgot about this! Oldie but such a goodie. I think this was the only perfume I repurchased multiple times back in the day. It’s sweet honey, fresh fruit, giddy warmth and happy days. Not a candy/gourmand/plasticky sweet at all, and just perfectly balanced. I would never be able to tell someone was specifically wearing this. It’s simple, inoffensive, and GOOD. Sad to read that the formulation on this has changed significantly over the years and that it doesn’t smell the same as it once did.

This was a blind-buy for me, as have most of mine been, and, as usual, it was a very lucky one!! I've been so fortunate in my blind-buys! This is one excellent perfume! Honey! Delicious! All-over a really yummy experience. Everything smells delicious and nothing is too sweet, or over-bearing. It has really good sillage, and lasted well into the next day for me! Beautiful, and everyone complimented me on it, especially my husband, who loves it too! And what can you say about the bottle! Fantastic! So cute!

Honey is a sweet fragrance that reminds me of early summer mornings. I don't understand the bad reviews. It's light, delicate, and floral smelling. I wear it to work because of how simple and crowd-pleasing it is. There is absolutely nothing offensive about this fragrance. I do agree that it's changed some over the years, but it still retains all the same loveable qualities of the old formula. This is one of my safe perfumes that can be worn anywhere and will be replaced every time I run out.

Ooh this is beautiful! Divine! So fresh, sweet, fruity and florally - mainly honeyed- orangey scents. Absolutely beautiful. Definitely one of my favourites. Gorgeous bottle (it's the first Marc Jacobs I've tried. I was reluctant to try it, thinking it would be too young for me - I'm 65 - but it's fantastic!). It's totally uplifting, dreamy, sparkling. I could wear it all the time; it's such an 'I love life - the joy of living' feeling, a feeling of being in love! Gorgeous.
