Honey Blossom starts out being a nicely sweet and light honey made with wild flowers from a meadow in a forest. It begins a light and breezy, natural smelling, and pretty honey. But as it continues...

This is the only sandalwood that I have found wearable. The lovely blend of chai tea spice at the opening, offers only tiny peephole view of the sandalwood that lies beneath.
