    That's one of the worst Serge Lutens fragrances for me. It is hard to describe it but - like someone has said - it is kind of dirty, woodsy-musty fragrance. Very ughhh... bad smelling. Very...

    A fragrance that turns gauchness and a total lack of dignity into a sublime art form; a marvelous conceit that shouldn't, by all rights, deign to work, and yet it does. Done poorly, as in KM Fleur...

    I'm not the type of perfume hunter with a giant fragrance wardrobe (...yet), so I wouldn't buy it, but I gave it 4 lippies b/c it is an intriguing scent. Yes, it does have an aura of urine, but...

    I have quite a different take on this fragrance than quite a few others obviously do. In other words, I LIKE this - very much, in fact. The "urine" smell eludes me, the menthol-like sharpness...

    Beautiful honey note (hence one extra lippie), but unfortunately that urine odor just kills everything. It must the the hawthorn note that creates that bittersweet unpleasantness. This smells like...

    This smells like the homeless man's pants who was struggling up the subway steps ahead of me last august. I nearly passed out that night, and I felt the same when I smelled this.

    I am a huge honey fan. Ever since I was tiny one of my favorite treats were those plastic tubes filled with honey. I’ve got a few wonderful honey based fragrances (Chergui, Mechant Loup, etc), but...

    There is a dirtiness to this that I cannot quite place ... so reminiscent of something ... Anyway, this is not a good fragrance for me. From the initial dirty, clammy note to the intense woodsy...

    Tried this today from a sample. Unfortunately, I've already ordered a full bottle (unsniffed). This opens promisingly with a full open note of honey. Then the rest of the fragrance opens up and...

    I wanted to try this in the biggest way, and thought I would fall in love, but, alas, alack, to no avail. It starts promisingly enough - I get a warm honeyed wood thing, and that slightly lemoney...

    I purchased this unsmelled online. A mistake. Does anyone else smell an acrid or even vinegary note predominant in this? The honey and woods are here no doubt but overpowered by this rank thing of...

    Sorry for not trusting you, reviewers, but I was so *sure* this would be nice that I made a special trip to scary Harrods to get a sample. After all... Serge Lutens, honey, wood- three out of...

    I won't even try to beat Thisbe's review on this because she is spot-on in every respect. I might have to trade in my watch to rid myself of this horrible, awful scent. I love many Lutens but...

    This is simply one of the biggest fragrance diappointments of the year for me. It is just awful. Once again, as usual...this is a floral honey, it is sharp and unpleasant. The beginning was acrid...

    I gave this 5 lippies because if you are a honey lover, it is probably the ultimate honey scent. Although I am not a honey connoisseur, it reminded me of the La Perla line of liquid handsoaps &...

    Quite possibly the only *true* honey fragrance I've ever encountered. Not too sweet, not powdery, not floral, not clovery, not cloying, not rancid or sickly -- just plain old comforting honey,...
