Mediterranean Honeysuckle In Bloom
by Aerin Lauder
A light, airy white floral with a bright citrus opening, Mediterranean Honeysuckle In Bloom features grapefruit and bergamot that quickly soften into honeysuckle, tuberose, and jasmine, all wrapped in a honeyed sweetness. The fragrance is generally described as cheerful, softly sweet, and radiant, evoking sunny summer days and garden blossoms. It leans toward a clean, slightly musky dry-down with moderate longevity and a moderate sillage, making it best suited for spring and summer, especially during the day. While many appreciate its refined, natural-looking floral and honey accords, some find the initial burst overly sharp or synthetic, and the longevity is inconsistent, with some users reporting shorter wear times and others finding it persistent enough to be overwhelming. The scent is highly feminine and suited to warm weather, but lacks lasting projection and durability in certain formulations. It is widely adored by those who appreciate a subtle, honeyed white floral, though it may not suit those sensitive to synthetic or heavy floral notes.
