[****] smells like a bee that unionized, inherited a fortune, and now spends its [****] hosting candlelit garden parties in a palace made entirely of honeycomb and emotional manipulation. The opening is an absolute torrent of honey — thick, golden, unapologetically decadent honey — the kind that drips in cinematic slow motion while a string quartet plays somewhere behind climbing roses.

"The gold standard of woody fragrances." "I love how bold and unapologetic this scent is. The opening is very strong and green, but it settles into a beautiful, warm incense and wood aroma. It feels very high-end and artistic. A little goes a long way—one spray is more than enough!" Diyara S · influenster.com
