Honey Fragrances

A honey accord smells golden, sweet, floral, and syrupy, but it can also have waxy, animalic, herbal, or hay-like facets that keep it from feeling like simple sugar. It may suggest fresh honey, honeycomb, nectar, mead, or warm pollen depending on the blend. In fragrance, honey often enriches white florals, rose, orange blossom, tobacco, amber, leather, immortelle, vanilla, and gourmand notes. Used lightly, it gives a soft glow and natural sweetness; used more boldly, it can feel dense, sticky, sensual, or vintage. The accord adds warmth, depth, and lingering plushness to many styles.
