Honey

by Ann Gottlieb , Annie Buzantian

Marc Jacobs Honey is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Ann Gottlieb and Annie Buzantian. The fragrance opens with Pear, Fruity, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Honeysuckle, Peach, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Honey, Woody, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Honey: Favourite

Divisive and often misleading, Honey by Marc Jacobs misses the mark for many expecting a true honey scent, typically delivering a youthful, fresh, and overwhelmingly floral-fruity experience. It's a love-it-or-hate-it with performance as varied as the reviews.

Office

Its light, inoffensive, and clean floral-fruity character makes it suitable for casual wear and daily office use, though some find it too 'shampoo-like' or generic. The inconsistent longevity and sillage mentioned by reviewers temper its suitability for more formal or date settings, favouring warmer, active scenarios.

About

Honey opens with a bright, zesty burst of mandarin and juicy pear, quickly evolving into a dominant bouquet of crisp honeysuckle and soft orange blossom. A subtle, non-gourmand honey note occasionally grounds the composition, with a faint vanilla and woody base emerging in the far dry-down, retaining a clean, almost soapy freshness throughout.
