Honey Milk

I was passively looking for a honey fragrance and happened upon this at target. Usually honey scents are overwhelmed by florals, but not her. This is HONEY. Yes, you can smell the alcohol in it at first but I promise it fades quickly. Mix Bar tends to open a little alcoholic. This is a delightful honey and great for layering! Definitely recommend if you're looking for creamy, amber honey rather than a honeysuckle scent. Opens with a warm, ambery honey and lactonic undertones, slightly spiced with the star anise. The almond notes grow stronger throughout the day. This is a great summer and fall scent, it's giving sunflower on a warm day. As it fades the warmth of the amber and star anise take the forefront and the milky scent fades. But she is honey all day, truly. Very affordable at $20 and it lasts about 4-5 hours. Great value for the quality and longevity. Most truly honey scents I've seen can be quite pricey, so if you're searching give it a shot! I've been layering this with Lattafa's Rave Now, which is my ride or die. Rave now is a lactonic red berry and cream scent with floral undertones. Adding Honey Milk to that in the spring and summer is like drizzling on some sunshine. I get a lot of compliments on them alone and together.

Sweet, fluffy, softly floral, uncomplicated vanilla gourmand heaven! I imagine this is how Winnie the Pooh would smell in the best possible way. Haha! Honey Milk is in a league of its own compared to everything else in Mix:Bar's line IMO. Don't get me wrong as I love Cloud Musk, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE this fragrance. It doesn't turn sour from the oat milk note, nor is it overly floral or sweet from the honey note. The vanilla absolute is the star of the show, and the other notes are just there to enhance it. I have a hard time picturing any fellow vanilla/gourmand lover regretting buying this one, and it's a steal for $20. It's not a projection beast which is expected at this price point, but I still gets steady whiffs of it hours after application. Honey Milk is also a lot of fun to layer! It's perfect on it's own, but it's very complimentary paired with other fragrances featuring stone fruit, amber, marshmallow or nutty notes. It's delicious with R.E.M. Cherry Eclipse, Nemat's Amber EDP, Sand + Fog's Innocence perfume oil (dupe for Dulce/Eclaire) or Tree Hut's Tropic Glow body cream (similar to SDJ 62). I hope other Fragrantica users join me in sharing some of their favorite Honey Milk layering combos too!

PHOTOREALISTIC honey and milk. Definitely the best Mix:Bar has ever done. Sweet, lactonic, warm, and comforting. Lasts forever on the skin also. The price point is unbeatable for this. 10/10. I really wish they would come out with 100ml bottles, just so I could have a big one of this. Very versatile, layers well with a lot of scents. Pair it with SDJ 62 for a baklava combo, Choco Musk for honey hot cocoa, Cloud 2.0 for gourmand heaven, etc. Anything, Honey Milk goes with anything. It's insanely good. She deserves all the praise. If you're a gourmand lover, just spend the $20 and get it. Edit: layering combo to add! If you like this honey, you need to go buy The Bees are Flying by Sorce. Use that one as your main perfume then layer Honey Milk with it. I’ve been using Honey Milk as a secondary with that one. So The Bees on wrists, behind ears, inner elbows, and chest. Then Honey Milk behind knees, by ankles, on top of head, and a spray on my shirts. They mix together beautifully! The Bees is lighter and more airy, but Honey Milk is richer and more lactonic. Paired together, this is a dream honey combo. I feel like a fairy.

I absolutely love a photorealistic honey fragrance. Maybe even more than realistic vanilla creams. This is a perfect everyday scent for me: linear, clean (as clean as gourmands get) layerable. I wish it performed a little better, it has a very small scent bubble, arms distance or less. Sillage is a little better. I made a pot of coffee this morning and my partner could smell both in our bedroom after I left. Someone mentioned layering this with Chocolate Musk which sounds divine but I must be one of the people who got a bad bottle of CM bc although it smells nice, its the lightest and weakest fragrance I own so whenever I smell honey milk first, I can’t smell Choco Musk at all. My nose goes completely anosmic. I may come back later with my layering combos. Until then enjoy this absolutely perfect cheapie and lmk if theres an extrait anywhere that smells exactly like this.

This perfume is a good, smooth honey fragrance that I enjoy smelling, although I do not smell the coffee note (which is not a big deal to me). The fragrance is more of a personal scent than a scent everyone around you will smell. If someone is really close by or hugs you, then they will smell it. However, if you spray on clothing fabric, you can still smell faintly after two days (or possibly more). If you’re looking for a more straightforward honey fragrance to layer on top of one of your favorite lotions or perfumes, I would suggest giving this a try. It does seem like it is hard to smell this in warmer temperatures, so will use mainly in cooler temperatures such as at my work.
