Souk Honey

TikTok made me do it! As a honey lover who usually avoids vanilla-forward scents, I was intrigued by promises of a gourmand that doesn’t make you smell like a Christmas cookie. This was not something I was initially over the moon about. The opening is very white floral, and much stronger than I expected and it completely overshadows the honey and gourmand notes I was looking forward to. It doesn’t come across as old or stuffy, but it definitely isn’t what I had in mind based on the name. Sillage is great though! Just one spray filled my entire bathroom, and it lingers far longer than I anticipated. That said, the dry down is lovely, and my husband can’t get enough of it by the end of the day he literally buries his nose in my neck! I still can’t decide whether I love or hate this perfume. I do enjoy the dry down, and I’ve been experimenting with layering it with other fragrances to bring out the honey notes I was hoping for. Edit: I have been wearing this consistently and concluded that it is a win and I love it! I have gotten over my shock at the strength of the neroli in the opening notes and love the heart and base of this perfume. It's also great when layering with a contrasting smell: Oui the People has recently released "Sunday Lime" which smells like eating a vanilla ice cream cone on a wet breezy beach as the tide goes out. Wearing the two together has been fantastic!

I am totally taken by surprise when it came to this fragrance. I ordered it as a duo with island milk cause I figured it would be cheaper to get the combo and was influenced by all the reviews on TikTok. I’ve never been so happy to be influenced! The honey is light; not syrupy and strong. The scent doesn’t come off as cloying while also packing a punch. The longer you wear it, the more it transforms and you’ll be able to smell every note it contains. It’s also a great way to make other scents smell fresh and new via layering.

This is stunning. Every time I smell her, my eyes roll back in my head. She is deep yet light at the same time. Perfect for fall-spring. White florals play well with honey. Sandalwood hides just in the background giving her a solid base. The opening is extremely floral while the dry down all the scents intermingle in the most perfect way. She is for a woman not a girl. She instills confidence and calm. ❤️

Souk Honey makes me think of hummingbirds. It’s rare to find a honey scent that smells natural, floral, and non-powdery — I imagine all the pollinators will flock to whoever wears this.

Was definitely expecting more of a honey forward scent but I'm not necessarily mad at it! There's a bit of spice underneath the earthiness which I really like. It's definitely not gourmand but the honey is present. I personally wouldn't be layering this under (or over) anything too pronounced. Maybe something woody and warm, like an angels' share type. Souk's dry down is soo comforting I can just imagine the warm fuzzies you'd get layering the two. Regardless, I really like it! great blend and great first impression of OUI.
