What does Mad Honey smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated as good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring further behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also gets worn in leisure time.
It opens with pink pepper and rum, which bring a touch of spice and warmth. In the heart, honey and Damask rose take the lead, with floral and fruity accords softening the sweetness. The base is dominated by Bourbon vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin and patchouli, while Orcanox adds a synthetic sheen.
