Honey Amber

I blind bought Honey Amber. I figured with a name like that, I was going to love it no matter what. I tested it blind, before I read the notes. I think my eyes rolled into the back of my head, and I knew I was in trouble. When I got engaged, after I'd chosen my wedding perfume for a wedding in New Orleans (Malle Une Rose), I started daydreaming about a honeymoon perfume for our honeymoon in either Tahiti or Thailand. I wanted something that conveyed the feeling of a new life together, the warmth and coziness of settling into forever with my love, against a backdrop of those tropical flowers along a sunny coastline. This would have been my choice. The honeyed tropical ylang-ylang/rose over the warm smooth sandalwood base is what tropical dreams are made of. It's the kind of perfume that makes you want to nuzzle someone's neck as you walk hand-in-hand at dusk along the beach. Gorgeous.

A honeyed clean 48 hour tattoo of meditative sandalwood that reminds me of Sacred Ground. Loaded with meaty ylang, benzoin and soft vanilla with a mighty rose wandering hidden in the background. Dries to a warm, edible amber drydown. Concrete and straight in evolution without delay. Female.
