I tend to amp sweetness so honey scents can often be too much on me, and I’m not into coconut scents. I was hoping to mostly get the Egyptian musk and resins. Freshly applied, it smells like I smeared clover honey on myself. After 10-20 minutes it starts to die down and while it’s still really sweet that’s when I do start to smell the musk. I don’t really get any resin at all? I’m hoping that will change with rest.
I love this one. It’s a super smooth honey with a mysterious mix of resins on me. I also don’t get a distinctive coconut, but I’m fine with that!
Powdery honey is about 50% of the scent on me. A dose of dark, smooth resins are caught up in subtle fresh coconut. I’m the odd reviewer out as far as getting coconut, but I think my skin (or nose) has swapped the Egyptian musk for coconut as I don’t pickup on it.
If you like Egyptian musk you should try this. It’s egyptian musk with a lot of honey and maybe a drop of resin. I don’t really smell the coconut. It’s sweet and lovely. Egyptian musk in general is one of my favorite scents. It’s hard to describe but it’s lovely and this is a good mix with it.
Wet: heavy on the egyptian musk. Dry down: heavy, resinous honey. No coconut. The honey in this blend doesn’t work for me as it goes powdery and slightly dirty smelling …
Dark, rich honey with a musky, resinous edge. I wish I got coconut, but I don’t.
