Continuation of the my note analysis.

The hunt for a beautiful Honey scent came hard on the heels of my experimentation with leather, lilac, and lavender. I figured that since I loved honey and mead, I would love the smell of honey. This has since proven a falsehood. For whatever reason, the BPal honey note and I have a love/hate relationship. I keep trying it in the hope that THIS time it'll blossom into something spectacular, and it keeps hating my skin chemistry and turning out either 'bleh', or outright 'ugh'. The biggest disappointment was Milk Moon and Mead Moon. Both smelled incredibly similar with a heavy sweet milk note (which did not appeal to me) and very little of the honey I craved (or any spice from the mead moon for that matter). Needless to say I was not happy. At this point I am still on the hunt for the perfect honey scent for me. Autumn Moon of the Mirror Stand and Door are the only heavy honey note that I've found works for me so far and in AMMS, the honey is only one of a myriad of notes that makes AMMS one of my favorite scents, while with Door, the chamomile has to be playing nicely that day for it to work.

The Lab's honey notes: The lab's honey note is often overshadowed by the other notes in the blend on me. It is often paired with the milk note or florals, neither of which work well with my skin chemistry. I was delighted by the release of the Rappaccini's Apiary and both Horse Chestnut and Tobacco Honey have renewed my faith finding a perfect heavy honey note blend.

My favorite blends with honey in them thus far: Horse Chestnut Honey, Tobacco Honey, Door, O.

Blends that I liked but the honey wasn't prominent: Autumn Moon of the Mirror Stand, Hellcat, Kill-Devil.

Blends that were horrible on me: Milk Moon, Mead Moon, War, Bengal, Horreur Sympathique, Luperci

Blends that I still REALLY want to try: Tomoe Gozen, Nanny Ashtoreth (more for the leather then honey), Mommy Fortuna (incoming with my TLU set), Whoop (incoming), Chimera, Comforting Plush Companion.
