HONEYSUCKLE (Bourbon French)

There are currently 43 scents in the Basenotes library with the name Honeysuckle. My only exposure to the scent was on the landscape of a former country home, where a pink honeysuckle bush bloomed every year. The intoxicating sweetness of the scent came to be depended on as part of Spring's annual evocation.

Bourbon French's Honeysuckle soliflore is quite sweet and heady and to the best of my memory, true to the original. There is a slightly green undercurrent, similar to what one experiences with Lily of the Valley (Muguet), which helps to cut and balance the sugary evanescence. It is certainly feminine and definitely not unisex.

It's difficult to know when to wear this in the modern world. Perhaps it would be best suited for a very young woman and best to apply sparingly, as it is quite pungent with excellent projection, so would be out of place as a day scent or in the work place. Although not olaceous, it has the similar strength of such powerhouse scents as tuberose, gardenia, jasmine and orange blossom.

An excellent soliflore creation for the young and the young at heart.
