thanks so much for everyones suggestions, really helped!

I'd like to try to find one or two new scents for a friend, but the problem is I'm not super familiar with BPAL myself! Her scent preferences are as follows: "I like gourmands or perfumes combining foody notes with something else. Jasmine and lilac are great, I'm a bit unsure about other florals, especially if there aren't other types of notes. Patchouli is a no-go. Fresh woods are nice, although I usually find sandalwood and teakwood types to be too strong. I enjoy trying experiential perfumes too. I also avoid nut scents besides almond and pistachio." I could really use some suggestions if you guys would be so kind!

This scent immediately caught my eye based on its description, I impulsively bought a full size of this. In the bottle: Absolutely lovely! Like a bouquet of flowers with the tiniest hint of sweetness from the honey. It smelled fresh, not oldlady-like or heavy. A perfect warm weather scent! Wet: Smells just as good as in the bottle, I was so happy- I felt like I hit a jackpot with this! Dry: Here we have our unhappy ending. Something about my skin doesn't play well with one of the notes… and I think it might be the honey. It starts to smell like a soap on dry down. Not a bad soap scent actually, but definitely not the scene I fell in love with on first sniff.
