Mad Honey

by Alex Lee

BORNTOSTANDOUT Mad Honey is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Alex Lee. Mad Honey opens with Rum and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose and Honey, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Benzoin, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla. BORNTOSTANDOUT's Mad Honey carries a Statement verdict, a rose-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent; you'll either adore its boozy honeyed rose or find it overwhelmingly artificial and cloying. Don't even *think* about blind-buying Mad Honey - sample it first, or you might regret it.

Date Formal

Its potent projection and intense sweetness make it unsuitable for the office or casual daytime wear. It truly shines on dates and formal evenings, especially in cooler weather, where its bold character can make a lasting impression without being out of place.

About

Mad Honey bursts open with a boozy hit of rum and a lively hint of pink pepper, before settling into its main act: a rich, sweet honey intertwined with a prominent, almost jammy rose. As it develops, a warm, resinous depth emerges from the benzoin and tonka, wrapping the sweetness in a comforting vanilla embrace, with patchouli lending a grounding earthiness. The overall impression is a dense, syrupy floral gourmand.
