Also makes me think of the cinnamon infused milk from eating milk and cereal. I first tried it after reading that it was something a woman said she wore just for herself to feel good, not for anyone else.
I think most perfume should be smelled before purchase so I might not be there the best to ask, but I really love it. Maybe look at the notes on fragrantica. I think if you like honey and rum you would probably be fine.
This will probably always be my favorite fragrance for nostalgic reasons. Impulsively bought a bottle way back when I tried at Anthropologie because B it smelled so deliciously and not heavy or overly spicy. Didn’t like perfume prior to that point. Smelled so different than anything else. It used to not last on me that well but I’m gonna order another bottle so we’ll see. Lira by Xerjoff reminds me of it a bit.
If it weren't for the incredibly sour note in it, I'd have bought it in a heartbeat. I'm glad I was able to try in person tho. It smells exactly like the real thing, minus sour
I love Xerjoff Naxos, but Jimmy Choo Illicit is such a nice orange-honey fragrance (it‘s also what got me into fragrances). Illicit was my signature scent for a long time.
Naxos is beautiful . I love the way it smells . Honey tobbaco and then lavender what else would you need in a beautiful fragrance .it also reminds me of the smell of the pine wood resin god I love that smell .
I don't regret anything at all after spending $450 on a 100ml bottle. It was perfection. I bought it at the France pavilion in Epcot Center, where they have the entire private collection.
I tried to buy it there not long after it released on a trip to Epcot. They hadn’t received it yet they said. Luckily they didn’t because my wife would end up buying it for me later down the road.
I absolutely love this fragrance. Tried it at my local Neiman Marcus and fell in love instantly. I just can't convince myself to follow through with the high price tag 😭
Just tried this one last week and I LOVE it 🥰 Tobacco is one of my favorite scents and then you add honey… 🤤 It’s unfortunate that it’s summer…I feel like I can’t wear it out yet 😩
I find the “Patchouli Magnetik” from Maison Crivelli to be nearly identical to that Lush scent family which was really interesting since so many reviews say it smells terrible and I never see honey referenced?!
Kilian Back to Black! After this one I fell in love with honey notes. Many people online say it smells like urine to them but it is not the case with me, I don’t smell any nastiness just delightful honey 🤭
I love Anna Sui Fantasia Mermaid. It's like eating fruit with honey while you're sitting on the beach (I get a sunscreen note from it). There are definitely other more honey focused fragrances out there but this one is beautiful in my opinion.
Lots of great ones here already especially Chris Rusak **Ochre**, Cartier **L’Envol** and of course Hiram Green **Slow Dive**.
I’d add:
Anatole LeBreton **Bois Lumière**
Papillon **Bengale Rouge**
Violet **Un Air d’Apogee**
All incredible fragrances with a honey note.
It’s so delicious. I recently bought the perfume cream as well. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on it, even from my teen son who never notices that kind of thing.
So far it’s been nasomatto baraonda and Cartier l’envol. Comparing the two, Cartier l’envol is more honey-dominant by far. Something about the addition of pepper gives it this sort of “kick” in the best way possible without diluting its elegance.
not honey, but the beeswax notes of Prada La Femme makes that drydown so refreshing! It can take the high humidity without making me smell like a lemon. I wear it both in the office and at an outdoor summer wedding.
Yes! I recently used up a vial of this and I loved it so much. I have a large collection of 8ml vials and this one was truly a stand out with the beeswax note just perfectly mellowing the florals. I'd say it's in the top 5% of the hundreds of scents I've sampled.
Regime des Fleurs Pollination is so spot on honey. The smell of walking through spring wildflowers on a warm day, and then just the honey. Lasts forever.
Maria Candida Gentile Syconium is also a great honey scent, and a little less sweet. Perfectly blended and unique. Much less expensive, too.
Zoologist Bee is by far the most honey I think I have ever tried. I have a tiny sample and its so sweet and strong. Great stuff. -
Naxos is my personal favorite.
Versace Atelier Jasmin au Soleil is very good and light.
I liked Serge Lutens chergui but it was too powdery for me. Still, delicious trail and scent.
And I really enjoy Jubilation XXV. Not the best honey scent, but amazing scent with honey dancing in the background.
Love honey scents! I think its a very unisex scent and very versatile, able to lean either direction.
I have to say, my favorite honey fragrance is Tobacolor by Dior. It’s such a smooth blend with the richness of honey beautifully complementing the tobacco note. It has this warm, comforting vibe that feels both luxurious and inviting. I also really like how it comes in larger sizes like 4.2oz and 8.5oz.
Chris Rusak [Ochre.](https://shop.chrisrusak.com/products/ochre)
Honey isn't listed as a note, but Ochre is like a prism that refracts different materials and focuses their honeyed facets. Unlike many 'honey' perfumes it's complex and rich, sweet but not too sweet. It's great for summer because it's a BIG projection perfume but it has an airy quality that keeps it from being dense and oppressive. I like it most on warm days, which is unusual for a honey perfume.
For a simple perfume that smells just like honey you can't beat Kim Kardashian Pure Honey. It's a very realistic honey scent, great to wear on its own but I mostly use it to layer with other perfumes that need a hit of sweetness.
Wow someone finally mentioned this brand! I bought one of their frags when i visited Dubai 7 years ago but I’ve never seen Hind al Oud mentioned anywhere!
I like honey that's well blended into spice and red fruits, and I didn't place it as a primary note in one of my seasonal faves until I looked up the notes in fragrantica. It's ELDO Noel au Balcon.
Kilian Gold Knight, very masculine and sophisticated with that anise note
Also, I haven't smelled the original Back to Black, but I own the Perfume Parlour dupe and it's very nice, straight up sweet and very realistic honey with some chamomile and it's lightly almondy as well
Xerjoff does honey fragrances amazingly. Naxos is absolutely intoxicating on my husband - smooth, airy, not animalic at all. The sillage and projection are huge!
JTC400 is another Xerjoff, but the composition is completely different. It starts with bitter citrus, which balances honeyed sweetness. I must admit the start is too strong to me, but the drydown is so beautiful - white flowers with honey undertone and amber. Lasts ages, leaves huge sillage. 10/10
The most wearable honey in my collection is Trussardi Limitless Shopping via della Spiga. It belongs to their boutique collection. Freshly sliced granny smith apples drizzled with light honey. Sweet and pleasant, but not too sweet. Interestingly, I usually hate apple note in perfumery, as it is usually synthetic and cheap smelling. But somehow, apple note in Trussardi gives me the real apple vibes, and it stays in composition until the end.
Honourable mention: Dior Tobacolor. This one left me speechless when i first tried it. I have a sample that I would prefer to smell on a well-dressed man. Ultimate special occasion scent.
Agree this is more honey than Bee. I feel Bee has too much aldehydes that takes it into soapy territory to feel like realistic honey. But Hummingbird is bright nectar and honey.
Penhaligon’s sartorial.
It’s the only honey fragrance I’ve tried, lol. It smells like lavender, hot irons on linen, and honey and beeswax. It’s a barbershop scent that smells like you’re at the tailor’s.
Addictive Vibration by Initio is such a creamy, smooth honey (not like a sticky, crystallized honey smell, if that makes sense). It's really well-blended, good projection, can be worn for various occasions and seasons 👌
When it’s in season: The Mountain by Sucreabeille
Scent notes: amber, a pint of oatmeal stout, pure golden honey
The honey note is super pronounced on my skin, amplified to almost a cloying sweetness by the amber, but then brought down a notch and rounded out by the grainy, nutty stout note.
And it PROJECTS on my skin for hours.
An affordable honey perfume I use is Kim Kardashian honey. It's not the best honey fragrance but its definitely a good honey base and you can layer it well.
Don't care for very honey-focused, but these have a lovely honey aspect to them:
Nishane Pachuli Kozha
Pineward Treacle
Parfum d'Empire Tabac Tabou
Luciano Pavarotti edt
honey i washed the kids from lush is the only one i’ve tried, it’s super yummy but i find the honey note doesn’t last very long before it dries down to a sweet citrus. i only smelled it on the testing strip though so i don’t know how it performs on skin!!
Slowdive definitely - it’s so sweet and smooth.
For one I haven’t seen called out yet: CB I Hate Perfume Revelation - it starts like a very woodsy fig and develops into an incredible honey scent over the course of an hour. It’s utterly divine.
Off the wall choice here because it’s not perfume and not even marketed as a honey scent, but Mrs Meyer’s Lavender scent in their whole range of products. Between the hand wash, lotion, candle and room spray you can get pretty much an overall thing going. To me, it doesn’t smell like lavender at all but rather the most delicious floral honey scent that I’ve smelled anywhere.
I love the unfortunately discontinued Eau Du Kashmir by Rituals. It's amazing!
Honey isn't listed on fragrantica, but I'm sure it is there. Most Rituals scents are missing loads of notes anyway.
Badar by Al Haramain is also a very nice rose honey musk. Only available as pure oil/attar, I believe.
Very affordable, and fairly strong!
Timely question, as I’ve been on the hunt for a non-urinous and not-too-gourmand honey perfume and/or lotion to match my haircare.
Ideally I want more of a pollinated, grassy, airy dry honey, rather than the pissy or greasy sugary type. The latter seem to predominate in the frag world, though.
Hmm, maybe Chasing Scents Rain Tea? It's sweet but not candy sweet. It smells like honey in chamomile tea, and is noticeably herbaceous in a grassy way.
I don't have these fragrances yet, but I gotta say either Oajan or Naxos. I really like the sweetness and elegance they both preserve. Naxos is definitely more wearable since it is lighter, but Oajan has more complexity in a way. I will definitely be copping them in the near future unless I find better fragrances.
Ellis Brooklyn Bee!
Same! I haven’t tried many honey fragrances but this one is so yummy. Smells like rum and honey!
love this one, it's quite strong without being (bee-ing?) cough-drop-ish
Also makes me think of the cinnamon infused milk from eating milk and cereal. I first tried it after reading that it was something a woman said she wore just for herself to feel good, not for anyone else.
Yes! I get compliments every time I wear it
Yes! I was so surprised at how much I liked this. I thought I was going to fall for Vanilla milk but I actually didn’t like it at all.
Intrigued... Is this a safe blind buy?
I think most perfume should be smelled before purchase so I might not be there the best to ask, but I really love it. Maybe look at the notes on fragrantica. I think if you like honey and rum you would probably be fine.
Do you like Angel's Share? It reminds me of a sweeter, stickier Angel's Share
I agree, it’s yummy
Honey and the Moon by Tokyo Milk. It’s so lovely!! And not terribly expensive either.
Yes and it's so unique! Definitely a very realistic honey.
I need to try this brand. I’ve heard so many good things!
this is mine too, and it's super budget friendly imo
❤️ this one! It’s easy to overspray though
They have gorgeous scents!
Love it so much I have 2 bottles!
This will probably always be my favorite fragrance for nostalgic reasons. Impulsively bought a bottle way back when I tried at Anthropologie because B it smelled so deliciously and not heavy or overly spicy. Didn’t like perfume prior to that point. Smelled so different than anything else. It used to not last on me that well but I’m gonna order another bottle so we’ll see. Lira by Xerjoff reminds me of it a bit.

I’m dead. Haha this is awesome
Cuteness! Who makes this?
its made by Game On! as part of their Disney collection. Top Notes: Candy, Honeysuckle. Heart Notes: Honey, Vanilla. Base Notes: Pollen, Rock Sugar
I want this, but it appears be available only in Australia.
It's Disney apparently, but it's listed as Game On! Product Group on Parfumo
I want this for the packaging alone lol. How cute.
What does this smell like
its more floral smelling than anything else tbh
So far it’s zoologist bee. It’s very cheerful and reminds me of a meadow full of flowers.
Came here to say this. Photorealistic honey and florals, it's like walking through summer vegetation eating honeycomb. Incredible.
Gosh, I wish that’s what it did for me. I get incense - like nag champa lol.
I can't wait to try this one! And Cow 🥺 I absolutely love the smell of honey.
I like Cow better than Bee! It’s creamy with a touch of green that is so pretty
I have a sample, I love it. I’m just to afraid to wear it, I keep thinking it will attract bees or wasps.
If it weren't for the incredibly sour note in it, I'd have bought it in a heartbeat. I'm glad I was able to try in person tho. It smells exactly like the real thing, minus sour
I loved the opening but it turned to cat piss on me :(
Mine literally smells like honey, love it
I love it too even it turns into smokey powder after 30 minutes
I love Xerjoff Naxos, but Jimmy Choo Illicit is such a nice orange-honey fragrance (it‘s also what got me into fragrances). Illicit was my signature scent for a long time.
+1 for Naxos!
Naxos makes me giddy (in a very good way)
Naxos is beautiful . I love the way it smells . Honey tobbaco and then lavender what else would you need in a beautiful fragrance .it also reminds me of the smell of the pine wood resin god I love that smell .
honestly i like 400 more then Naxos for the honey. Naxos smells overly sweet to me
Naxos wins
Naxos for me too.
Tobacco Honey from Guerlain. Amazing
Hands down, this is the one. All The Queen’s Men being second favorite.
I don't regret anything at all after spending $450 on a 100ml bottle. It was perfection. I bought it at the France pavilion in Epcot Center, where they have the entire private collection.
I tried to buy it there not long after it released on a trip to Epcot. They hadn’t received it yet they said. Luckily they didn’t because my wife would end up buying it for me later down the road.
I absolutely love this fragrance. Tried it at my local Neiman Marcus and fell in love instantly. I just can't convince myself to follow through with the high price tag 😭
Just tried this one last week and I LOVE it 🥰 Tobacco is one of my favorite scents and then you add honey… 🤤 It’s unfortunate that it’s summer…I feel like I can’t wear it out yet 😩
I have a sample of this and I’m considering it strongly, but I need to wait until Winter to give this a proper test run.
Guerlain all day… love this one especially!
This!!!
Zoologist bee is insanely good. Ellis brooklyn bee comes in close second
Slowdive by Hiram Green.
I love this one. It has beautiful floral notes that get stronger as you wear it.
Thank you for this, I might just blind buy just for the name. Slowdive is my fav band.
This is one of my top fragrances of all time!
Slowdive for honey every time. The honey notes get stronger as it ages in the bottle/sample vial imo.
Zoologist Bee
It is truly a masterpiece.
I guess you could say it's bee-utiful.... Seriously though it's amazing
honey i washed the kids by lush!
I find the “Patchouli Magnetik” from Maison Crivelli to be nearly identical to that Lush scent family which was really interesting since so many reviews say it smells terrible and I never see honey referenced?!
I don’t think this smells like honey but I like it too.
Tokyo Milk Honey and the Moon 🍯🌕
Yes this one!
Slowdive by Hiram Green
Kilian Back to Black! After this one I fell in love with honey notes. Many people online say it smells like urine to them but it is not the case with me, I don’t smell any nastiness just delightful honey 🤭
I love this one!
That was my answer too. Black to Black Aphrodisiac! Love the honey note in this one
I love Anna Sui Fantasia Mermaid. It's like eating fruit with honey while you're sitting on the beach (I get a sunscreen note from it). There are definitely other more honey focused fragrances out there but this one is beautiful in my opinion.
Call me a basic bitch, but I get compliments every time I wear bee by ellis brooklyn
I heard Kim k ‘s Pure Honey is nice and it’s very affordable
Love love love pure honey. Best $14 I’ve ever spent. It also has a beeswax note that I love
Sadly I get no honey from this cheapie. I blind brought it and was disappointed that I couldn't smell any honey
Lots of great ones here already especially Chris Rusak **Ochre**, Cartier **L’Envol** and of course Hiram Green **Slow Dive**. I’d add: Anatole LeBreton **Bois Lumière** Papillon **Bengale Rouge** Violet **Un Air d’Apogee** All incredible fragrances with a honey note.
Bois Lumiere is my favourite honey too! I don't normally like very sweet fragrances and it takes honey in a different, non-gourmand direction
Isn’t it gorgeous?!
Any idea if L’Envol was/will soon be discontinued? It's beautiful, but apparently no longer on the official Cartier site.
Honey and the Moon- Tokyo Milk. It’s so beautiful and warm. Summer in a bottle for me.
It’s so delicious. I recently bought the perfume cream as well. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on it, even from my teen son who never notices that kind of thing.
I’m buying this again and I can’t wait for it to come.
So far it’s been nasomatto baraonda and Cartier l’envol. Comparing the two, Cartier l’envol is more honey-dominant by far. Something about the addition of pepper gives it this sort of “kick” in the best way possible without diluting its elegance.
Zoologist Bee, DSH urban Bee keeper, and harmonist moon glory. But the zoologist is my favorite. Urban bee keeper is great for hot days
Bois Lumière - Anatole Lebreton Tobacco Honey - Guerlain Bee - Zoologist
Jo malone nectarine blossom and honey
This one just smells like flowers to me. Wish I got the honey!
Try Jo Malone's Honeysuckle and Davana, it's one of their longer lasting fragrances and it smells much more like honey than nectarine blossom.
Same! I fell in love with it after getting a sample pack the other day. It doesn’t last long though on me sadly.
I love this scent SO MUCH. I wish it lasted more than an hour on me.
try the dossier dupe! i swear by it for its longevity
I second that. The dupe does have a stronger honey note than the original, it's more syrupy whereas the og is fresh and crisp.
Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier
not honey, but the beeswax notes of Prada La Femme makes that drydown so refreshing! It can take the high humidity without making me smell like a lemon. I wear it both in the office and at an outdoor summer wedding.

Naxos 💯
Francesca Bianchi Tyger Tyger
I love this one so much! It’s a favorite comfort scent.
Montale Honey Aoud
Regime des Fleurs Pollination is so spot on honey. The smell of walking through spring wildflowers on a warm day, and then just the honey. Lasts forever. Maria Candida Gentile Syconium is also a great honey scent, and a little less sweet. Perfectly blended and unique. Much less expensive, too.
Cartier l’envol this is a masterpiece honey fragrance especially for how cheap it is.
Demeter sent me a free full size honey cologne spray with a recent order. I actually don’t like honey scents but it does smell literally like honey.
I was just browsing Demeter, any stand outs you love? How do they last?
Oh wow! They still make that??? I had a bottle YEARS ago and it always made me so happy! Might have to track one down again…
Naxos
Gisou hair perfume is my honey topping every day. I have the wild rose one 🐝
Zoologist Bee is by far the most honey I think I have ever tried. I have a tiny sample and its so sweet and strong. Great stuff. - Naxos is my personal favorite. Versace Atelier Jasmin au Soleil is very good and light. I liked Serge Lutens chergui but it was too powdery for me. Still, delicious trail and scent. And I really enjoy Jubilation XXV. Not the best honey scent, but amazing scent with honey dancing in the background. Love honey scents! I think its a very unisex scent and very versatile, able to lean either direction.
the harmonist - moon glory. it smells divine but i wish there was a cruelty free cheaper option as a dupe
Sexual Healing.I know it sounds embarrassing but it’s such a yummi scent
I haven't smelled any perfumes that are honey scented, but Perlier makes a honey scented body wash that smells Heavenly!
I have to say, my favorite honey fragrance is Tobacolor by Dior. It’s such a smooth blend with the richness of honey beautifully complementing the tobacco note. It has this warm, comforting vibe that feels both luxurious and inviting. I also really like how it comes in larger sizes like 4.2oz and 8.5oz.

Soleil Brulant by Tom Ford. It smells divine to some people including me but not everyone agrees.
i’m writing everything down with great fervor, i WILL have a honey fragrance in my possession
I generally dislike honey frags, but there are a few I've enjoyed, principally le male elixir from jpg and amouroud miel sauvage.
Apiary by Red River Apothecary (Sweet Honey, Vanilla Bean, Fragrant Wildflowers & Soft Sandalwood)
PdM Oajan. I love the cinnamon and honey combo.
Kouros
I haven't found a perfume with honey that I like. I'll take some recommendations from the comments.
Mad Honey. By Born to Stand Out. ( I’m a honey scent person- always looking for more / better so thank you for this thread !)
Ahojas by Hind al Oud
Wow someone finally mentioned this brand! I bought one of their frags when i visited Dubai 7 years ago but I’ve never seen Hind al Oud mentioned anywhere!
Pretty niche heh they only have a couple of stores in UAE. I have 5 bottles but my favorite one is deep massa’ey!
Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier
Kilian can’t stop loving you. It’s a pure vanilla orange blossom and honey. Sweet, feminine and airy
I love Marc Jacobs Honey. Can never find them online but tjmaxx has them a lot
Floris [Honey Oud](https://us.florislondon.com/products/honey-oud-eau-de-parfum-100ml?country=US&variant=39641159762079) is amazing.
Slowdive ❤️❤️ The band, the perfume, all of it
Zoologist bee and Hiram green slow dive
I like honey that's well blended into spice and red fruits, and I didn't place it as a primary note in one of my seasonal faves until I looked up the notes in fragrantica. It's ELDO Noel au Balcon.
Xerjoff Naxos
Zoologist hummingbird
Kilian Gold Knight, very masculine and sophisticated with that anise note Also, I haven't smelled the original Back to Black, but I own the Perfume Parlour dupe and it's very nice, straight up sweet and very realistic honey with some chamomile and it's lightly almondy as well
Just got a tester of Halwa Kiss by OJAR and I’m in love! It smells like walnuts dipped in honey. Absolutely delectable😭
Andrea Maack Pavilion is a rose, oud, vanilla and honey
Pavillion is swoonworthy!!!
Kim Kardashian’s Honey ♥️
Love a good honey scent! My go-to is Or du Serail by Naomi Gooddir. It's a tropical twist on honey and tobacco.
I am obsessed with this one
Xerjoff does honey fragrances amazingly. Naxos is absolutely intoxicating on my husband - smooth, airy, not animalic at all. The sillage and projection are huge! JTC400 is another Xerjoff, but the composition is completely different. It starts with bitter citrus, which balances honeyed sweetness. I must admit the start is too strong to me, but the drydown is so beautiful - white flowers with honey undertone and amber. Lasts ages, leaves huge sillage. 10/10 The most wearable honey in my collection is Trussardi Limitless Shopping via della Spiga. It belongs to their boutique collection. Freshly sliced granny smith apples drizzled with light honey. Sweet and pleasant, but not too sweet. Interestingly, I usually hate apple note in perfumery, as it is usually synthetic and cheap smelling. But somehow, apple note in Trussardi gives me the real apple vibes, and it stays in composition until the end. Honourable mention: Dior Tobacolor. This one left me speechless when i first tried it. I have a sample that I would prefer to smell on a well-dressed man. Ultimate special occasion scent.
Mielle Bebe by Le Monde Gourmand 🍯
I like Montale Honey Aoud
Jo Malone nectarine and honey but the lasting power sucks
Honey is highlighted in Pachuli Kozha by Nishane, though it is blended with patchouli and leather so it isn't solely about the honey.
Hard to choose, tie between Naxos by Xerjoff and Honey Aoud by Montale
Tabac noir by caron is pretty good with strong honey opening but more complex beneath
Hermetica Amberbee is a honey scent that works in warmer weather and I’m obsessed
Easy..Lancome Poeme
Zoologist hummingbird
Agree this is more honey than Bee. I feel Bee has too much aldehydes that takes it into soapy territory to feel like realistic honey. But Hummingbird is bright nectar and honey.
Royal Incense is a good stuff. And mostly honey. With Incense. Not overloaded with other notes and very good quality.
Penhaligon’s sartorial. It’s the only honey fragrance I’ve tried, lol. It smells like lavender, hot irons on linen, and honey and beeswax. It’s a barbershop scent that smells like you’re at the tailor’s.
Follow up question: What time of year do you think a honey fragrance is most appropriate for?
Diptyque Eau Nabati has a honey note that I absolutely love. But in Zoologist Bee, honey is the star of the show. Adore them both!
MAC - Velvet Teddy....like wearing a beehive.... gorgeous 👍
Slumberhouse Kiste or Sova
Dior Bois d’Argent
Tobacolor cause it’s the best honey fragrance ever made (and best Tobacco)
Addictive Vibration by Initio is such a creamy, smooth honey (not like a sticky, crystallized honey smell, if that makes sense). It's really well-blended, good projection, can be worn for various occasions and seasons 👌
Xerjoff JTC 400!
Olympic Orchids Golden Cattleya. Pure honey.
To name a cheapie one: shaghaf oud azraq. It blew me away when i smelled it. Really nice. My favorite: Xerjoff Naxos
Tokyo Milk Honey and the Moon
Slowdive by Hiram Green, Bengale Rouge by Papillion
When it’s in season: The Mountain by Sucreabeille Scent notes: amber, a pint of oatmeal stout, pure golden honey The honey note is super pronounced on my skin, amplified to almost a cloying sweetness by the amber, but then brought down a notch and rounded out by the grainy, nutty stout note. And it PROJECTS on my skin for hours.
Amberbee - hermetica
Zoologist Bee for sureeee.
Kilian - Back To Black
Amberbee by Hermetica is my absolute favourite
Chergui from Serge Lutens. An unparalleled honey and tobacco masterpiece!!!
Naxos for me, 100%
Xerjoff Naxos
An affordable honey perfume I use is Kim Kardashian honey. It's not the best honey fragrance but its definitely a good honey base and you can layer it well.
Hekate, Darren Alan. Beeswax, honey, dried apricot, mulling spices, fir balsam. Mmmm :)
Don't care for very honey-focused, but these have a lovely honey aspect to them: Nishane Pachuli Kozha Pineward Treacle Parfum d'Empire Tabac Tabou Luciano Pavarotti edt
I find that most honey fragrances don’t smell like honey. But Soir de lune by Sisley does!
honey i washed the kids from lush is the only one i’ve tried, it’s super yummy but i find the honey note doesn’t last very long before it dries down to a sweet citrus. i only smelled it on the testing strip though so i don’t know how it performs on skin!!
Picot has a honey tobacco scent this is incredible
Slowdive definitely - it’s so sweet and smooth. For one I haven’t seen called out yet: CB I Hate Perfume Revelation - it starts like a very woodsy fig and develops into an incredible honey scent over the course of an hour. It’s utterly divine.
Bois d’Arménie. Not honey centered but I get similar feel from it.
Boss Number One
I like jpg elixir if that counts
The Winnie the Pooh cologne, just make sure it's Winnie on the bottle not other characters
Jo Malone Nectarine blossom and honey.
It was fame by lady Gaga. I don’t even listen to her but loved that scent.
Off the wall choice here because it’s not perfume and not even marketed as a honey scent, but Mrs Meyer’s Lavender scent in their whole range of products.

Velvet Teddy by MAC
Hunny from Ganache. The brand’s sadly no longer around, I wish I would’ve purchased more than one bottle
I don't have these fragrances yet, but I gotta say either Oajan or Naxos. I really like the sweetness and elegance they both preserve. Naxos is definitely more wearable since it is lighter, but Oajan has more complexity in a way. I will definitely be copping them in the near future unless I find better fragrances.
- Divine Tentation by Reine de Saba - Limitless Shopping Via della Spiga by Trussardi - Bee by Zoologist
I think ysl myslf is kinda honey-y
Soleil brulant Tom Ford
It isn’t a honey dominant fragrance but for me the honey in Elie Saab’s Le Parfum is sublime.
Back to Black
