Miel Extase

I am normally hesitant of perfumes with honey or beeswax concerned about their interaction with my skin. However, loving Karina, I decided to dive in and ordered this gorgeousness!!! These days after having tried so many perfumes , I’m not expecting to be surprised. However this blew my mind. This is simply gorgeous, intoxicating and for sure different from any other perfume I have. The rum and honey combo has resulted in a boozy, smoldering concoction! This is sultry and delicious and for me this leans feminine. I find myself constantly sniffing my arm and I feel like I’m actually savoring a honeyed liquor..... ahhhh amazing!!! I was not expecting to fall instantly in love with this perfume as I understand these extracts need time to macerate to reach their potential. But seeing how delicious this fragrance already is, I am giddy with excitement imagining its development and thinking about the special moments when I will wear this and become inebriated with its aroma! Cheers!!!

Love it! I will say Navitus fragrances need time to oxidize before you can really appreciate them. I have had this since October 2023 and I got a very strong rum and chocolate covered apricot scent when I first received it. Fast forward to July 2024 and this is the most beautiful sweet honeyed fruit scent. It starts off sticky and sweet like fresh honey drizzled on top of dried fruit but as it dries down you start getting wafts of chocolate and then vanilla and caramel. The honey stays present throughout the entire wear but the dried fruit starts to lighten up to allow the vanilla and caramel to take over. I typically wear 10 sprays and I get a good 8 hours of wear time with moderate projection.

Honey 🍯 Chocolate. I bought this when it launched. WAY too HOT to wear. This feels good now. Definitely a Fall scent for me. 2nd impression: I still get a lot of honey, dried apricot, but also a LOT of chocolate. These are the stand out notes to me. The heart of the fragrance is cozy, vanilla, caramel, tonka and it is very cool weather appropriate. I really like, much more so in this cooler weather/fall season. Huge compliment getter too! Had multiple people ask what smells so nice or what perfume/scent I am wearing. This scent only works in cool/cold weather for me. The dry down is what is really good.

This one is captivating and unique. Even for those who normally don’t like honey in perfumes, it is a banger. My man loves it on himself and on me as well. It’s not the typical animalic- on your face- kind of honey. I’m wearing it even in warm summer days and it’s totally addictive and powerful. Long lasting. Projects well. You name it. It checks all of my boxes. On my skin I detect the ginger - a fresh one- plus apricot, wild light honey, rum, even a sweet saffron, a bit of davana and chocolate. One word: impressive. Truly one of the best Navitus I’ve ever tested. Well done!

The dry down of this fragrance reminds me of Dulce Diablo, but in a much smoother, more refined way. I had an issue with the way the apricot was blended in Dulce Diablo, but in Miel Exstase it is perfection. This is an elevated gourmand for those who want some sweetness without it being too much. This is lovely and the projection is quite nice. It's unisex right down the middle and can be worn by anyone. This will be better suited for the cooler months, but rules are always meant to be broken.
