About

Jujube honey is honey from bees foraging jujube blossom, sold internationally as Sidr honey. It is dark, dense and much stranger than a table honey. Two vendor pages and one perfume house reach for the same word for it: earthy. Around that sit caramel, dried fig and a faint medicinal edge. Amouage names a Jujube Honey Accord in the heart of Crimson Rocks, and that is the only confirmed use in a fine fragrance.

Scent Profile

Jujube Honey smells like honey first, dark and dense rather than a plain table honey. An earthy note runs through it strongly, close to soil and dried fig rather than pure sweetness. A caramel, sweet vanillic progression carries the body, with dried fruit and a floral trace of the blossom showing through. A boozy, sticky edge appears in some readings, alongside a faint herbal, medicinal finish. A warm spiced note, closer to cinnamon, sits at the back, though it may belong to a neighbouring note rather than the honey itself.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

The bee product of Ziziphus (jujube, also called Sidr or Christ's thorn), harvested mainly in Yemen, Kashmir and China. The flower is the same one published here as `jujube-blossom`. Premiere Peau states plainly that the real honey 'is a major product in China but is not used directly in perfumery', so what a perfumer uses is a compounded accord named after the foodstuff rather than the foodstuff itself.

Usage in Perfumery

One confirmed fine-fragrance use: Amouage Crimson Rocks (2020, Renaissance Collection) lists a Jujube Honey Accord in the heart, next to cinnamon and two roses. The brand's own copy, republished by two independent retailers, calls it 'an earthy Jujube honey accord'. No manufacturer sells a base or accord under this name, so the compounding is not established.
