Rum Honey

Before looking at the notes, I wore this only remembering the honey and jasmine notes. The honey on first spray is clear and crystalline, and surprisingly diffuse. It then gradually thickens and darkens– perhaps this could be likened to the actual process of how bees make honey, starting with nectar and slowly concentrating it until it is viscous and well-preserved. The animalic darkness is detectable yet elusive– despite the jasmine it is not indolic (I read it as more attar-like), and it is not acrid or "pissy" either. Looking at the notes, I can identify the rum much more clearly. It is a similar deep-red, warm booziness to **Foxy** from DSH– the pairing is very pleasurable as it helps to tame and dilute the raw sweetness of the honey without being overly clean or tame about it. For the record, this is a HONEY scent. The other notes are detectable but IMO the honey is the main star.

Sultry in a cozy way

One of the few scents that manages to be both sultry and cozy! The jasmine is quite animalics thanks to the thick honey but in the most addictive way. It sits on a base of syrupy silvery gold amber w plenty of ambergris. I'm so glad I have plenty of this one as it's everything I want in a perfume!
