This was a sample sent to me with my order for the bottle of Hex, which I reviewed in the last post. Today on a whim I decided to skin-test Honey Tree, all I had done before was just sniff the vial. The description from the site says:
Quite rich! Right from the bee hive - honey amplified by
seductive essence of resinous vanilla, darkened by a passing waft of
mild rare wood smoke.
As I mentioned in my notes about this in the other post, the wood smoke note concerned me, because I don't enjoy the smell of wood smoke (or most other smoke), why on earth would I want to smell like it? Well, I shouldn't have worried.
There *might* be a touch of it in this blend, but it certainly isn't enough to ruin it for anyone else who doesn't like smoke.
This is definitely all sweet honey, all the time. And it is STRONG. It doesn't morph, either - what I was smelling wet is what I am smelling now that it is dry. It has the dryness that I associate with honey scents, as well.
I like it - a lot - but I think I'd prefer it more as a layering note (assuming it didn't overpower whatever I tried to layer it with), rather than on its own.
Obligatory disclaimer: Matt and Britton of Haus of Gloi have no idea who I am, other than a random customer. I was not compensated in any way, shape, or form for this review.
