Wolkenseifen

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Wolkenseifen Honeymoon is a sweet, floral women's fragrance built around honey, nectar and wild flowers; it has been discontinued. Voters find its longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. No season or occasion votes exist, so there is little more to say about when to wear it; it is classed as a women's fragrance. The notes read as one whole: honey and nectar carry the sweetness, while wild flowers add a floral lightness. Beyond floral and sweet, the accords include gourmand, creamy and spicy facets, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Its profile is close to Demeter Fragrance Library Honey (Cologne) and L'Occitane en Provence Eau de Miel.

Meadow & Fir

Phoenix Botanicals · 2013

Floral · Green · Sweet

Phoenix Botanicals Meadow & Fir is a floral, green scent for women that sets a meadow of flowers against the resinous, woody air of fir. Wild flowers, violet and linden tree give it a floral, green, meadow-like feel. Fir and resins add woody depth, myrrh brings a spicy edge, and amber sweetens the whole. Voters find both longevity and sillage moderate, so it neither fades quickly on skin nor fills a room, though with so few votes this is only a rough impression. It dates from 2013 and was composed by Irina Adam. Close in profile are The Bible Fragrance Myrrh and Al Haramain Nasmah.
