Honeymania

If pressed to describe it, I would say waxy honey like a beeswax candle, wildflower honey and warm yellow flowers blowing in a gentle cool breeze of very blue skies. It is naive and sunny, slightly warm but not hot. It reminds me of a place or mood and seems blended to smell like many smells at once instead of singular notes. It wafts nicely, with sillage just about arm's length. It lasts a few hours but not extremely long. It stays close to the skin after maybe 2-3 hours. I reapply after 5 hours. But that's not the real reason I love it so... This is an EXACT replica of Vincent Van Gogh's Grand Fleuri. I bought that perfume for my mother in Paris Summer 1990 during its launch. Starting the next year, I bought it at a nearby Cosmetics Center before it went out of business. I would spritz it while changning at work, and a co-worker bought it after smelling it in the dressing room. It suited me in high school, and I still like the scent. It's like reuniting with a long-lost friend you still have something in common with. I already bought 4 bottles of Honeymania!

Cheap and cheerful, just like the rest of this line from The Body Shop! Honeymania reminds me of my favourite honey, which I buy from a Middle-Eastern grocery: grade A, golden, wildflower-scented. I'm a huge fan of honey -- I eat it right out of the jar, much like Winnie the Pooh -- and I have quite the collection of products that are supposed to smell like it. Honeymania brings a new angle to the smell of honey in that it captures more of the source rather than the product. I like that. The fragrance is floral and sweet, but not sugary, sticky, or even dulce de leche-y like some of my other products. Rather, it's fresh without being overwhelming, like something you might spray in your hair as a leave-in conditioner. Perfect for any season.

I love this scent. I've bought multiple bottles. It's fresh, a bit floral (that isn't old lady floral) and a scent that is like warm dripping honey and honeycomb. I find that some of the Body Shop fragrances are a nice addition to other fragrances at the same time. I would mix this one with a BBW body spray that was called Vanilla Noel. I worked in a medical office and I would always wear something light, and the mix of the Honeymania and the Vanilla Noël was very nice. It was vanilla, and marshmallow, with a bit of nuttiness, and then this beautiful honey scent with a bit of fresh too it. So, Body Shop perfumes can go with lots of other scents to compliment I find. This on it's own is very nice though. It's a happy scent.

I sampled/ sniffed at least 10 different perfumes in the perfume shop today. Hypnotic Poison, Nero Assoluto, Candy l'eau, The One etc. Nothing wowed me, they all were more or less boring. Meh, left the shop and decided to drop in at TBS to try this. I've read reviews so knew not to expect much honey. Maybe because I wasn't expecting a lot, I was very pleasantly surprised. Very fresh, great balance between the flowers and honey. Too much honey can make a fragrance too "thick" and too sweet, it can also smell a bit like pee. In Honeymania the honey gives the fresh flowers a nice sweetness, without getting to be too much. This is a very pretty fragrance.

I usually have not so great experiences with honey fragrances. It's either a too heavy and dominant note or it's completely missing. But I liked the idea of wild flowers note so I tested this (twice) and I'm so glad I did! To me, honey is done just right in honeymania: it's light and soft and has a natural sweetness, and the addition of wildflowers, pure and light, is so fitting, it perfectly embodies my idea of freedom in nature, it transports me to a mountain clearing full of virginal green grass, colorful wildflowers and buzzing bees.

Gorgeous honey floral- as Cassandra stated, blossoms dripping in nectar- but the honey is coming through warm and clear on me, too- I smelled the body butter several months ago, before sampling the fragrance, and it was nowhere near as pleasant- it was warm and ambery, far less floral- I am very impressed with the potency and longevity- I applied the tiniest amount, probably a fifth of a ml. about 4-5 hours ago, and there is still a warm little cloud of fragrance emanating from my skin- Thanks S., for the sample! Highly recommended!

The best EDT that The Bodyshop has released. So bad it's discontinued. It's fresh, floral, honeyed and sweet. I love wearing it, and in any season, because it puts me in a good mood. And, although honeyed, it's not sickening: the honey is well dosed and offset by the wild flowers. I know of other honeyed perfumes that will make you nauseous because it's so over-concentrated, a real Scandal ;) ! 8.5/10

I do love this. Got it for a song yet amidst my wonderful collection of fragrances this does something special for me. It's sweet in a beautiful natural sort of way. Gives me a distinct sensation of being surrounded by golden light. It evokes the same sensation of peace that a walk through a sunlit meadow under hazy sunshine would bring. Very pretty. Very feminine.

As a little girl my mom used to wash my hair with a Winnie the Pooh shampoo and conditioner, and this smells so similar! I love it! I know a lot of people complain that this is too floral, and not enough honey, but I think it actually smells better that way. If you want the fragrance to last a long time, use the body butter and soap along with it.

I adore this lotion, honeyed goodness! I smell honey, vanilla (which isn't listed), mimosa flowers. It reminds me a lot of Poeme by Lancôme but is way gentler on the nose (and I love Poeme) and I think I'll try layering the Honeymania lotion with a spray of Poeme tomorrow to see how they mix together. Very ladylike, sweet and feminine, yum!

The honey in this perfume is light, sweet and natural. It's not the dark, sticky kind. It's the golden, clear kind. The wild flowers compliment the honey perfectly. They're the kind that grow in dry summer grass. This scent is so pure and gentle. It makes me want to walk barefoot trough the meadows in a white cotton dress.

I get lots of compliments when i wear this. Smells like very realistic manuka honey with the slight hint of floral. This scent is not sickly sweet either and smells expensive for a body shop fragrance. Edit: so sad to hear this is discontinued! Why does body shop always do this?.. Savor the bottles you have while you can.

This smells like gorgeous wild honey, sweet but not saccharine, and really mellow, warm fragrance. People on here are saying that the floral notes dominate the honey but to me this smells exactly what honey would smell like if it were collected from the wild as wild honey tends to have a lot of floral notes in it.

I'm in love with this perfume. Sweet and fresh, and u can smell the honey. I'm planning to buy another bottle while there's 10% discount for 2 honey mania items in Body Shop Indonesia. too bad, the longevity only for an hour or two. I really wish it can stay longer than that in my skin.

I love it ! It's addictive : I purchased all the body care collection ! It smells sweet honey and fresh flowers. Simple but lovely. The lasting power is not very good. Tip : use the shower gel and the moisture and it lasts all day long. Delicious !

The gentler version of Kim Kardashian's 'Pure Honey'. Whenever I sniff this I feel elated yet calm at the same time. Sipping honeyed tea outside a holiday caravan somewhere in Europe in the summer. Soft with just the right amount of sweetness.

Smells not like honey itself but a bouquet of yellow very dripping nectarous wild flowers dipped in raw honey. In short it's sweet flowers sitting in sweet nectar. I really love this, so sweet and comforting like a young free spirit.

Something warm and autumnal about this scent. I love it, I have had the shower gel too. Today I am wearing it with the Mango body butter on my skin and it works very well together...

I found this fragrance at a Marshalls in 2016 and fell in love with the powdery honey scent. It's an obsession, I remember the feelings joy while spraying it on. Innocence and love!

A beautiful, light, sunny, warm scent. Honeyish but spicy too, so it isn't sweet or sickly. Also love the body lotion and the other products made in this scent.
