Unfortunately I
didn’t win the Marc Jacobs Handbag, which would just have been a dream, - it is
not exactly in the budget of a stay-at-home-mum, but the winning entries were
pretty amazing, so congrats to the lucky and talented girls!! – and I still, I feel
special for receiving a bottle of HONEY for participating in this challenge, so
thanks so much!!
With a newborn –
and a dog that has just had surgery to remove cancer, I have pretty much been
confined to staying at home, to ensure that my dog didn’t start attacking her
leg to get rid of the stitches, so this is the entry that I came up with…
Anyway here are my
thoughts on the Marc Jacobs Honey Eau de Parfum;
What They Say:
"The new buzz
about town from Marc Jacobs! A sunny, delicious floral fragrance with a juicy
pear top, feminine orange blossom heart, and a warm honey base."
RRP: $75 (30ml), $120 (50ml), $160 (100ml). – Available from
Myer, David Jones, and select pharmacies.
What I Say:
I love Marc Jacobs
perfumes, and am so happy to add this to my collection which already consists
of Daisy, Lola and Kumquats, which I all love dearly.
The first thing
that you notice about Honey, is the stunningly cute bottle, how gorgeous is
that!!
The notes in Honey are:
Pear, Juicy Mandarin, Orange Blossom, Peach Nectar, Apricot, Honeysuckle, Honey, Golden Vanilla, Smooth Woods.
Pear, Juicy Mandarin, Orange Blossom, Peach Nectar, Apricot, Honeysuckle, Honey, Golden Vanilla, Smooth Woods.
Given the name ‘Honey’ I had anticipated that the perfume would smell like
honey, sweet and warm, so I was a little surprised to find that it didn’t, but
rather that it is a light summery floral scent with a hint of citrus from the mandarin
notes, which I really like as fresh citrusy scents are my absolute favourites.
So in spite of the perfume containing honey and also vanilla, I really cannot
identify those notes in the perfume, which personally I don’t mind, as I’m not
the biggest fan of overly sweet scents. Also I fail to notice the smell of
‘smooth woods’ which again, I don’t mind, as woody fragrances are not on the
top of my list either!
Compared to the other Marc Jacobs perfumes that I have, the
Honey perfume doesn’t last quite as long, - especially not as long as Lola,
which is a far stronger scent. But still, I don’t feel the need to re-spray
during the day, and even after wearing it for a full day, at night my hubby has
commented that I smell nice, so clearly it is still there. And while I do like
the stronger Lola for special occasions and nights out, I like that Honey is a
light and not too overpowering for every day daytime wear, especially as we
head towards spring.
The Marc Jacobs not only looks fantastic on my dresser, it is
also a fantastic addition to my perfume collection. I love it, and if you like
fresh and floral scents, then I’m sure you’ll love it too!
