Everlasting

Spoiler alert: this is an Everlasting scent not an everlasting scent. This beautiful honey scent is an abstract composition of Everlasting (Immortelle/Italian Everlasting - sweet honey hay) despite the absence of immortelle in the notes. Similar to the way that Escape CK for women is an abstract composition of cherry blossom without having cherry blossom in the notes.. This is a nice honey scent for those who like sweeter scents, which doesn't last forever despite the name, although the sillage/longevity are average to above average.. In the air I get something similar to Honey Marc Jacobs (fresh & floral honey) and the occasional whiff of hay. On the skin I pick up the beeswax and musk more. Great value. I will store this for a few weeks and see what happens. Update 03/23/24: This has aged nicely - the honey has gotten sweeter, and a grape-leaning jasmine is coming more forward with some near fruity tones. The animalic notes of the beeswax remind me of osmanthus and/or suede, and are blended in nicely. This is heavier, sweeter & fruitier than Honey Marc Jacobs. Fans of honey scents might like this. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

One of the best blind buys I've ever made. It's unfortunate that so many have had issues with this, but with my body chemistry this is the perfect sweet, honey, amber scent with a bit of rose. It blends together beautifully and on myself has 3 - 6 hour staying power. Everytime I wear this my partner tells me I smell delicious.

A bright, fruity sweetness that I can't get enough of. Wish it lasted a little longer, but it's so good to smell I don't mind just reapplying.

This is a sweet and floral scent. Most of the sweetness seems to comes from the jasmine, with only a little coming from the honey. It's not a heady honey/beeswax scent like Bee. It's not a sickeningly syrupy honey like Scandal. (I looove both those scents, btw!) The rose kind of reins in the sweetness level, although I could definitely see this perfume being too sweet for a lot of people. The most prominent note I smell, after about 10 minutes of wear, is musk. I would say it's more along the lines of a musk Prada would use than one from Narciso, and I find it borderline headache-y. (I wouldn't be surprised to discover there was a hefty dose of something like ambroxin in it; it's kinda got that underlying sense to it.) On me the sillage is quite big. Two sprays is too much scent cloud for my taste. Longevity is about 61⁄2 hours. Overall, great dumb-reach scent for people who don't mind sweeter scents, especially if you find it on the $20 shelf at Shoppers! :)

I bought this blind based on the notes and no regrets. Honey, woody and amber, I get all those. The rose is noticeable and beautiful. This is not going to be a typical scent you already have smelled before. That honey sweetness it opens with is dense and seems like it would be syrupy and thick, I thought like JPG Scandal, but it lightens as it dries down and it takes on an airy quality. Though it's not in the notes listed, I get a nuttiness as well. It's got sillage but it's not overwhelming. Summer and workplaces should be fine. Very nicely done, unique fragrance!
