BORNTOSTANDOUT Mad Honey is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Alex Lee. Mad Honey opens with Pink Pepper and Rum, settles into a heart of Rose and Honey, and dries down to a base of Orcanox, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. 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.

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.
