Honey
Honey by Marc Jacobs is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2013 in the designer price tier. It opens with pear and mandarin, moves into honeysuckle, orange blossom and peach and dries down to honey and vanilla. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Honeysuckle Sweet, nectar-like and slightly green. Summer hedgerow.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
Dry-down
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
