Honey Suite

Such a sleeper hit! Great honey fragrance! I was not expecting to like this as much as I do. Honey scents are so tricky. I totally wrote it off at first, but grabbed it from Ulta at 30% off for Black Friday because it would be easy to return if I hated it. This one is super sweet and woody with a powdery texture, but still super smooth, and also aromatic with a bit of lavender. Does not smell medicinal or syrupy like Ellis Brooklyn Bee, which definitely goes into Ricola cough drop territory for me. Honey Suite actually smells like honey and the woodiness and lavender go black tea-like for me. It makes me feel like I'm sticking my face in a bag of fancy loose leaf lavender black tea with an entire vat of super sweet farmers market honey right next to me. It almost reminds me of a Kilian style DNA, in that there is something that reminds of Smoking Hot and maybe a bit of Angels Share (though in no way a dupe). Maybe it's a little boozy? I love the way the woodiness is done. It definitely smells more expensive than it is, except for how sweet it is. I don't really get any incense, which I am happy about. I was also a little worried about the saffron too, but it's nothing resembling BR540. I'm not getting anything resinous, which I tend to be super sensitive to. For context, I am a fan of Snif as a brand and this one would be in my top 3. I also love Soda Snob, Crumb Couture, Coco Shimmy, Citrus Circus and Vanilla Vice. Wasn't as big of a fan of Rose Era or Sweet Ash. I do like Tart Deco and Heal the Way, but am not big on Cherry or Palo Santo, so just not for me, though I've been tempted many times to buy both when they go on sale. Slice Society is fun too, but less "wearable". Naughty Nona is also on its way to me. This definitely makes me want to try Vow Factor!

I've been eyeing this scent for so long and finally snatched 10 ml on Black Friday sale and OMG. I wasn't expecting to love it this much. It's the most subtle and comforting honey perfume I've smelled so far. I've always been intrigued by this note and wanted to find that warm gentle honey scent that is easy to wear and this is exactly that. It was a love at first sniff. The opening is pretty saffron and honey forward, and then the scent settles into more of a steamed milk with honey and a touch of frankincense and vanilla. It almost starts to smell like a beeswax candle in a cathedral. It's so delicate and creamy yet a little spicy and warm. I don't really get lavender which usually tends to be a little harsh on my skin, so it's super well blended. The only downside is longevity as it seems to be holding to my skin for maybe about 4 hours but I still love it and would just reapply it. I think it would be a solid full bottle purchase once I'm done with my travel size because I seem to use it up very fast!

I'm really enjoying this. But it's not what I expected. It is not your typical honey scent. I don't think it smells like either of the Bee's (Zoologist or Ellis Brooklyn). This is an incense perfume through and through. I'm hard pressed to find any honey at all actually. But I like it! It's dark, it's mysterious. Lots of incense so if you're not a fan of that note, this probably won't work for you. It would be nice if I could get a little bit of sweetness from the honey but it's just not there. Maybe as it matures, that hidden honey note will become noticeable to me. All of that being said, I like incense-y types of perfumes so this is a win for me. I also wasn't sure how I'd get along with the saffron note as it's not a note I normally vibe with (although lately, I seen to be more tolerant of) but it's in the background and it's not leathery like saffron can be. Oh and performance is EXTREMELY good with potent longevity and projection. Can't beat it for the price. 😁

this scent had to grow on me a little because it's different in my collection, but it went from a like to a love. honey suite is a beautiful scent. the opening is the most astringent-- i can smell the honey the entirety of the fragrance but the sweetness is the most balanced upon first spray. shortly after, i start to pick up on the florals and aromatics as the honey also gets sweeter. by the dry down, i get a very warm, wildflower honey with a touch of woody vanilla. when i first received it, i restricted it to a bedtime scent because i find it to be incredibly sweet, comforting, and often associate lavender, vanilla, honey notes with sleep. but as it gets colder, i find myself wanting to reach for it during the day. i wouldn't dare wear this in the heat because i would certainly either choke or be chased by bees. i have only worn this to bed so i can't speak to longevity on skin, but i do still smell it on my clothes when i wake up.

Crystallized Honey, Broom Absolute, Incense, Havanawood, Lavender Flower, and Vanilla Bourbon...? It's a beautifully unexpected scent. Woody, yet syrupy and somewhat powdery. It's perfect as an Autumnal fragrance for its earthy, witchy qualities and vintage feel (vintage in that it smells like old things, not nessisarily a vintage perfume). This is how honey is meant to be. The sillage and longevity are great! Lasts an entire 9 hrs before it starts to fade a bit, but it lasts forever on clothes. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but it but I've worn it almost every day since it came in the mail. I didn't really catch on to the "honeymoon" theme of the bottle/promotion (even tho it was pretty obvious lol), so if the bottle turns you off or doesn't feel like it fits the notes, you're not the only one! It's well worth the try!
