SUN-WARMED HONEY PREMIUM FRAGRANCE 5ML (Summer 2014)

SUN-WARMED HONEY PREMIUM FRAGRANCE
Honey, Apricot, Strawberry, Chamomile, Kunzea, Ginger, Orange Blossom

NOT TO BE USED BY WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT OR NURSING OR PEOPLE WITH HAYFEVER (Contains Chamomile EO).

Thick, sticky, golden honeycomb soaked in apricot nectar and strawberry juice. Sweet apple-herbal scented chamomile flowers sprinkled loosely with subtle notes of warm ginger and bright orange blossom flowers. Sun-warmed honey is remarkably sweet and gentle with ripe and juicy apricot nectar featured as a prominent note. It has a very subtle herbal nuance similar to dried Sweet Annie flowers or chamomile tea. It is at once playful, elegant and uplifting.

This perfume contains a blend of top quality fragrance oils, natural apricot and strawberry essences, Roman chamomile EO, ginger EO and Kunzea EO.

Strawberry is a tricky note for me, it can often smell fake or bitter. I don't get that here. I think what saves this scent for me is the herbal, almost hay-like Chamomile. It keeps this blend from being utterly syrupy- sweet, but be forewarned, this blend is still on the sweet, cutesy side. It actually does evoke a sense of something being soaked in sunshine, which is really fascinating- something smelling warm not in a spicy way, but a temperature way. The honey is pleasant to me on both cold sniff and dry down. For a few moments after first applying- it ventures in the direction of cat pee, which is something I'm not surprised about- a lot of honey-centric scents do that to me. Thankfully it pulls back from that, and quickly tames itself. I will use up my sample of this as I can see myself being in the mood for it occasionally, but it's probably not one I need more of.

This one is very sweet and youthful. The honey is very bright and spring-like versus other types of tried that tend to be very musky and almost animalic. My only reservation is that I'm picking up a lot on the apricot, which isn't one of my favorite notes. I can see this being very popular, though!

Summer is calling! This is such a 3-dimmensional blend as it brings to life childhood memories. I can sense the chamomile and the honey and something tart and bright. After an hour i'm left with a chamomile-apricot trail, which smells more like a cup of herbal tea i would enjoy on a bright summer's morning. Wearing it now in September makes me so nostalgic, yet grateful that such a blend can stir such emotions and bring back dear memories.

Ginger-honey dripped over strawberries. For me, this is a strawberry scent, neither honey nor apricot. I was hoping for more apricot than strawberries. The strawberry here smells a bit artificial to my nose, like it's juicy strawberry gummy bears. SS described it as a "strawberry juice" character, and I think that's pretty accurate. It is sweet, perhaps too sweet for me. There is a slight dirty smell that one can get from honey, but it's in the background. No sillage on me, and it disappeared pretty fast too - it was undetectable to my nose in under 1 hour.

Sun-Warmed Honey smells so much like a spring scent to me! In the bottle, it smells like those honey-herb cough drops. (That's a good thing!) On skin I get honey and herbs, but also a lovely strong fruitiness from the apricot and strawberry. The fruity notes bloom and strengthen beautifully, and it ends up smelling quite a bit like a cup of fruity herbal tea with a generous drizzle of honey. Really nice.

This smells like Honey Plus. Very much honey with a stinging/herbal sweetness on top. Then it turns more honey with fruitiness on top. Small throw- I don't think someone standing next to me would smell it unless they leaned into my personal space. It makes the mouth water just a fraction. My mother said, "Ugh I don't like honey," when she smelled it so I guess it is not a traditional or universal scent.

When I smelled this in the bottle I was repulsed. It seemed super floral and heady and not at all what I expected. After a few hours I decided to go ahead and give it a shot on my skin and I’m so glad I did. This warms up on the skin and becomes a sweet, fruity, herbal honey. Very summery and bright! I actually get more fruitiness than herbs or flowers, though the camomile is definitely there. The ginger isn’t noticeable for me but may cut down the sweetness a bit. The throw isn't very strong but with a scent like this that is so heavy on the honey I think that works.

This is such a beautiful, natural smelling blend. I was a bit leery of trying this, because honey + fruit notes usually smell like cough drops on me, but this isn't medicinal on me at all.

We had a huge strawberry patch on the farm where I grew up, and this immediately brought me back to laying in the middle of those plants, eating fresh berries and smelling their sweet little flowers.

The honey is bright, golden and sunny, but also creamy and sticky smelling without being cloying. It's really hard to describe, but it's the most perfect, idealized honey ever.

I get wafts of creamy orange blossom and fuzzy apricot.

The word that keeps coming to mind as I smell this is "sunny." Warm, lazy, sunny summer days on a farm. Honeycombs, fresh strawberries, fuzzy apricots, gentle blossoms... just an all around lovely, amazing, beautiful fragrance. It makes me feel calm and happy. <3

A little bit too fruity, not enough honey, but otherwise very nice, summery scent.
