Pros & Cons
- ✅ This is a very pretty and feminine perfume. The initial burst of flowers and rose is underpinned by a fresh and aquatic note. The sweetness of the honey comes through, but it is not overpowering nor animalic, just a gentle sweetness that persists in the drydown.
- ✅ So pretty. Undeniably lovely. Sweet soft watery honey florals.
- ✅ This perfume blew me away! I thought it'll be just sweet and spring summery but this has soooo much depth and wearability. You can wear this on a day errand, on date night, on a special occasion, or just to smell good at home. And she is a beast! Longevity really was impressive.
- ✅ This was a blind buy at a TJ Maxx store and it was so pretty I went back for a second backup!
- ✅ Lovely sweet, fresh rose!
- ✅ A true SLEEPER HIT... lasts all day long and is such a compliment magnet!
- ✅ Sweet fruity floral scent like ripe fruits. Its fresh and stays long on my skin and clothes.
- ❌ This is a very pretty fragrance but it is also what headaches are made of! I bought this because I thought it smelled so pretty! Every single time I smelled it I got an insane migraine.
- ❌ So glad I only bought a tester size in my blind purchase. This fragrance is so cloyingly sweet, I mean nectar should be sweet, but this is not the kind of sweetness I was expecting. I get slight warm notes of sweet honey, but that is quickly overpowered by a watery peony note.
- ❌ I liked the sweet, honey-pear-rosey opening, but then the scent changes a lot towards the middle, where it gets a bit piercing (too fresh). Is the peony note here this sharp? And I can’t even smell the rose anymore behind the aquatic ‘breeze’.
- ❌ This is a very pretty fragrance but it is also what headaches are made of!
- ❌ This fragrance is so cloyingly sweet... the peony is so screechy
- ❌ I had the tester... it doesn't last long, around 2-3 hrs.
- ❌ bought this due to the recent passing of Issey Miyake... SHRIEKY rose fragrance... vanished after 90 minutes
