I have spent years trying to find a perfume that smells just like honeysuckle, only to show up right as places no longer sell one. Most recently, I just got into BPAL this past fall, just missing this limited release. I bought my bottle about a week ago from sixthsentinel here on the forums, and I am happy to say my search is now over.
I wasn't sure initially because on first sniff it wasn't exactly what I had expected. While it has grown on me, this is a bit off from the honeysuckle I have known since childhood. My first impression was that it smelled far away and slightly musky. After a few days, I tried actually wearing it to see if that changed anything. I am not sure if it is a change in perception from letting go of my expectations or a skin chemistry thing, but it feels closer to summer days outside in Virginia than it first did. It also is still noticeable around 8 hours post application, which is simply wonderful for me. I don't have a good idea on how much throw this has for me, but I will try to remember to add that here if/when I get feedback.
Overall, I love this, but my initial impression was hesitant due to preconceived expectations and maybe also regional differences in honeysuckle smells.
