Opens with smooth, seductive jasmine, the sort of rich, heady floral that brings out your inner femme fatale. A layer of rich, boozy honey deepens the white floral's decadent sensuality, its sticky, golden sweetness joining the rum's sheer spice draws out balsamic amber resins.
The chewy caramel and earthy spice of opoponax bring to the mind the softest, smoothest myrrh, warming and brightening the rum with the help of vetiver's toasted, dark woods, surrounding the lush jasmine with a sleek, balsamic glow.
The honeyed sweetness reveals a rich heart of creamy beeswax, softening the shining, golden resins while highlighting the jasmine's complexity, its waxy petals and buttery musk releasing an addictively alluring fragrance.
The jasmine is incredibly erotic, indolic in the best way — intoxicating and wild, contrasting with the sleek balsamic notes at first, but they soon melt together seamlessly as creamy beeswax wraps the seductive scent in its soft, comforting warmth. This isn't for fans of sweet, fruity jasmines, but if you like lush, indolic, jasmine this is absolute perfection. It makes me feel sexy and confident, and unlike many femme fatale scents, it doesn't feel like it's wearing me. And while I worried this might be too animalic for my partner, he couldn't get enough of it, I already have a FS, but I need more!
This is a honey scent full stop, but the rest of the notes make this honey in the hive, not honey on your spoon. There are floral and pollen-y aspects, a bit of grassiness from the vetiver, and the sweetness is very toned down compared to other honey perfumes I've smelled. I really enjoy how elemental this smells.
