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.

I absolutely love this and i am so sad its discontinued. I love the floral notes and it smells like beautiful clover honey. I get many compliments on this one.

this is the best honey perfume i have ever smelled i have like 5 sprays max left in my bottle and i cant find it anywhere so sad its discontinued

Lovely, lovely scent. Pure, gold, delicious honey. Is very relaxing too and could lift your spirits. A negative: not long lasting.

it's addictive. i keep on smelling my skin (where i spritzed some on). honey and sugary with a strong smell of wild flower.

Pure honey, naturally and softly with light sillage in my skin. Good stuff for everydays.

Floral and beeswax - SO good. Infinitely better than Kim Kardashian's Pure Honey.

A gorgeous scent, unfortunately too weak. :(

what a lovely scent.. for those who love honey..be ware bees will be following you everywhere..! i bought it impulsively at the body shop for under 15 us $ for a 30 ml bottle .. its a shocking fragrance.. so opulent.. bright.. crisp ..rich.. sensuale..seductive.. alive..sunshine in a bottle..very honey.. waxy ..sweet.. floraly..truly mesmerising.. over the top ..initially it smells so strong.. but it settels down fast.. i wish it stayed strong all the way ..but i guess everyone around you will pass out ..or want to pollinate u ! smells like kim kardasian pure honey..if u dont want to spend that much its a perfect alternative..it has a bit from madonna truth and dare also thierry mugler Alien Essence Absolue..i guess the indolic jasmine the orange flower ..the dry subtle humid sweetness..the whole theme of honey seductiveness paired with floral waxy stickiness.. its a perfume that screams see me.. smell me.. i am here and here to stay.. and mesmerise all of you ..if i dont kill all the bees out there... a beautiful.. full perfume ..fit for any ocasion ..but more fun outgoing.. not so much for office use..a wintery ..fall.. fragrance ..full of life ..honey.. and bliss..to my nose i sense that after smell of very faint trails of pesticide ..don't get me wrong this happens with every white floral indolic jasmine ..after effect.. such as in jadoe dior.. so its not because its from the body shop.. which i respect their oils and natural ways.. at least prior to 2000 of making affordable perfumes ..perfect for blending and layering... honemania is the perfect name for this fragrance.. for its very hyped ..its very bright.. very loud.. but it does settle to warmer ..cosier.. realms ..so if u want to keep it loud.. you have to keep reapplying..but all in al its a beautiful well made perfume that will mesmerise both humans and bees alike..i couldn't stand such intensity in perfumes a couple of years back but now i can pull them of occasionally..

Lately, I’ve been craving for honey! Thank god the body shop decided to release this lovely scent. Honeymania is an easy-breezy scent that is oh so wearable. It opens with a chemical blast of slightly metallic ‘wildflowers’. However, honey note soon emerges to work its magic and mellow things out. Honeymania transforms into a pretty light honey scent that brings to mind a field of flowers with bees buzzing happily all around. In short, it’s a happy happy scent. I don’t consider Honeymania to be a perfume in the strictest sense of that word-it’s far too simple to be considered a ‘true perfume’. It’s more of an impression of a scent if that makes sense. The longevity of this is actually pretty good and I was able to detect it on my shirt at the end of the day. The sillage is moderate so you don’t have to worry about knocking people out the moment you step into the room. That said, I really enjoyed wearing Honeymania and I think it’s great for those hot humid days when you just want a light scented mist surrounding you. It'll definitely bring a smile to your face (unless you absolutely loathe honey scents and bees). I’ll be looking out for THE perfect honey fix but Honeymania definitely satisfied my honey cravings. For now that is...

First off, I think many of us were disappointed that it wasn't straight up honey. However I'm not disappointed with the scent itself, although I would have called it something else, wildflower meadow would have been closer to the mark. This may possibly be a much cheaper alternative for me than Bond No. 9's High Line, although this is sweeter. It reminds me also of Philosophy's Field of Flowers but once again, Honeymania is sweeter. Not artificial saccharine sweetness thankfully but a light, white honey sweetness. Sillage and longevity for Honeymania aren't too impressive but at this price and in such a travel friendly small bottle, it won't be difficult to just buy a few back ups.

I've been hunting for a good honey fragrance for awhile now. This is discontinued unfortunately so it might be a bit more difficult to find. I think this is a very pretty, sweet and floral scent,that is pretty "safe" I would say. On me the floral does dominate, but the honey keeps it from stealing the spotlight. It is a nice balance. I feel like this is softer, lighter and more floral, while Marc Jacobs' "Honey" is stronger and has some orange notes in it and Kim Kardashian's "Pure Honey" is likely the most comparable to real honey (though obviously stronger). Happy to have received this in a swap :)

Strangely intriguing, not like anything I've used so far but definitely fits into my personal style. The fragrance is sweet and warm but not too heavy - think walk through an autumn park in gentle sunshine rather than bold spiciness of winter. Definitely not overwhelmingly strong, which seems to be a pattern in Body Shop fragrances - this is not necessarily a bad thing, the end result is more of a 'I used a perfumed body butter all over my body' than 'I used a strong perfume this morning and you will all pass out now because I accidentally used a bit too much'.

Honeymania opens with sweet honey. However, it soon dissipates into a soapy so-called wildflower scent. On me it tends to be a little unpleasantly synthetic and I can hardly detect honey any more once those wildflowers kick in. The longevity is around 5 hours on me. The sillage is moderate and comparing to some of the one-note offerings from TBS, is actually quite good. I find the wildflower part does give out a bright and carefree feeling. However, it's really a Flowermania IMO. This is not where you should looking for a sticky sugary honey treat.

This is a quite sweet but not too overbearing fragrance, ideal for layering with a lotion of some kind. This morning I took my Coconut Crushed Pearl body butter by Pacifica (which is a light, toasty coconut scent) and sprayed on some Honeymania and the mix was lovely. On its own this EDT actually reminded me, although briefly, of Perscriptives Calyx without the initial intense bite of grapefruit and after mellowing out. A nice addition to TBS's lineup...one can only hope this stays around.

Honeymania is a balanced blend of floral notes and honey. I do not get an overly synthetic vibe and its effortless nature makes it suitable for many occasions. During the past few weeks, I wore almost exclusively this fragrance and while I initially really loved it, I had to change my rating to a like because the linearity of Honeymania unfortunately added to the fact that it lost some of its appeal to me.

Pleasant flora and fruity scent with honey hints just as described. I've owned this one for years, bought it when it was still in the stores, somehow this fragrance has kept well. It still smells as good as when I bought it. It's a pleasant floral perfume for summer's day, a date or casual meetings. I think it smells too sweet for the office, but it will keep you in a good mood and that's what matters. :)

I expected real, overly sweet something. I wanted so much..but I got something else. NO honey, just an awful floral liquid, not sweet enough, but nauseating in a wrong way with some little powderness and wax(?). I was disappointed and didnt buy this frag. I checked the soaps as well(I thought maybe the perfumistas were wrong)but I cant stand the whole honeymania stuffs. Honeymania..no..Waxmania maybe.

This is AMAZING. Sweet, smells of real honey and flowers. I love it, it's a happy fume, deffo lifts the mood. Will wear it at work, but could wear it with my sweetheart too. I like sweet perfumes, but didn't expect such a surprise from this TBS little gem. Well done! Truly impressed and I'm fussy... :-) Go on ladies, feel girly, young and smile! X

Definitely more floral than pure honey scent but it is beautiful scent, that actually lasts pretty long but stays very close to skin. It would be a great work fragrance because the sillage is soft. I am very happy with this fragrance, I you enjoy this you might also enjoy Moringa by the Body Shop. :) I am wearing Honeymania today and loving it!

Not very complicated, flowers and honey blended together. Rather sweet and lighter than what I expected from a honey scent. The opening of this is overpoweringly floral, but more honey seeps through as time passes. The honey in this is not like honey in a jar, but smells more like the honey taken fresh from the hive.

I love the honeymania line and own several products like the body butter, shower gel, body scrub and this EDT. To me it doesn't smell like pure honey, but I like it anyway. When you spray this it immeditaly boosts your mood. I know it's an EDT but it has zero lasting power for that reason I wont repurchase

I have the body butter and scrub but unfortunately The Body Shop in Australia don't seem to have the perfume spray. It's a shame because I love this scent! I can imagine a field of wildflowers waving in the breeze on a sunshiny day. What more could a busy bee (like me) want? Heavenly!

The thing I love the most about this scent is that it isn't too sweet, also if its name conveys the idea of heavy sweetness. It is also light, and that is a perk of this scent. It smells like honey, wildflowers and something like litchi or Japanese grape candy c: very very nice!

I really wonder how did they created this perfume. It smells exactly like wildflowers in a meadow during end of spring or early summer - with fresh honey. It's not sickly sweet at all, it's actually quite comfortable and green. Simple. Nice. Sound of music kind of day.

Happy, airy, fresh floral with a slight sweetness to it! Almost like flowers with nectar. I wouldn't consider this a gourmand. Sunshine in a bottle! Very wearable and uplifting. Moderate sillage and longevity. I will buy this again, but never full price.

This is a nice floral fragrance with honey notes. I smell a lot of honeysuckle, mostly that with a little honey blending nicely into it. Not a favorite, or repurchase-worthy, but a solid like and I will enjoy it until my little bottle runs out. 4/10

I picked this EDT from tj max. It's pleasant but to me it's smells like pure roses. I don't get any honey. It's also smells better on a shirt than on the skin.

A beautiful sweet and spicy little fragrance, however not really enough on its own. Perfect for layering: to sweeten and add depth it really works!

Great as a room spray. Overwhelmingly floral. The yellowest, sunshiniest scent I have. Very strong. I love it, but way too much for me.

It's not the thick and deep honey scent (that I normally prefer). It is light and happy and delicate. Fresh without being too green, sweet without being sickly. A little spicy too. It gives the feeling of passing through a wild garden in spring time. All the wild flowers are attracting the bees to collect their sweet nectar. So this perfume is not the honey but it's the process of making it. Nothing I expected from a perfume called Honeymania but still a good one for occasional days. I wish it could have been more longlasting.
