By the editors · 2 min readHoney opens with a thick, sweet richness, immediately tempered by grapefruit’s bright, tart citrus that cuts through the density. Oud and frankincense rise swiftly, lending a smoky, resinous depth that feels medicinal and ancient. Violet adds a powdery, floral softness that contrasts the oud’s roughness, while ambrette provides a musky, skin-like warmth. Sandalwood and vetiver form a dry, woody base that grounds the composition, with amber and vanilla adding a sweet, balsamic finish. The scent evolves significantly, from sweet and sharp to smoky and resinous, projecting strongly for the first two hours. Longevity is excellent, lasting well over twelve hours. Ideal for cool weather and formal evening wear, where its complexity can unfold fully.
