This is the smell of my childhood. The authenticity of the honey note is stunning.It triggers a memory in a flash.
Honey from the comb and bee's wax, watching Grandfather harvest the the rich, fragrant liquid.
The scent shifts slightly and I feel rosin, the one I use for my bow, and then it transforms into the most aromatic wood ever. This is exactly what the wood of my violin smells like. My violin was a precious gift my grandfather gave to me when I was ten years old, and always listened to me with great delight.
Miel de Bois smells like love.
The love of a grandfather for his only grandchild.

This is the image that Miel de Bois inescapably conjures up for me - honey dripping out of old, dry, decaying wood, turning resinous and black in the process. MdB (the perfume) is strong! Much stronger than the honey/wood smell from the bee colony. Almost disconcertingly strong. It starts out with concentrated honey and concentrated wood, not really mingled, but operating on separate planes. The super-concentrated honey smell persists for the entire time, producing a somewhat linear progression. Somewhere in the middle there's a hint of the flowers that the honey was made from, so that you could imagine yourself as a bee circling over a dry meadow filled with clover and other bee-goodies, but it's subtle. In the end the whole thing dries down to a note that I detect in a lot of commercial perfumes that I can only describe as "turquoise". I don't particularly care for it.
I put the perfume on yesterday evening, and it was still going strong this morning. It's after noon now and it's still doing its thing, with clover honey over turquoise. I would say that it's good for at least 24 hours, so if you're looking for a long-lasting perfume, this is it.



But I didn't get that at all. Just resinous honey and woods. Mmmmmm!

I get a wonderful green-floral out of this frag... friend says she can smell the honey on me as well. I've not been attacked by bees, so it must be nice and subtle :)
