what does it smell like
Described as a “glowing floral gourd”, Honey Moon is a sweet but subtle scent. But rather than being the overly heavy cheesy dish that you would get in the winter, this scent is very refreshing, almost A skin scent that feels intimate rather than overpowering. Described by Fleur as “inspired by lunar renewal and the serene transformation of nectar into honey”, it starts with bright notes of mandarin and lavender that feel perfect for the spring season, but it quickly settles into a warm, creamy base of honey, vanilla and sandalwood.
To me, it evokes the feeling of drinking mimosas on a breezy European vacation, but with an elegant savory note that leans toward adult rather than sickly and juvenile. The secret touch of lavender brings a feeling of zen and is further strengthened by the base notes of warm sandalwood and tonka bean. This sunlight scent is by far the most sophisticated in my spring perfume collection, and can easily be taken from day to night, working well for a variety of occasions.

Needless to mention that I think it has ideal lasting power, with its scent lingering on people for most of the day. But like a true spring/summer fragrance, it doesn’t become too intense or sticky once it settles into the skin. As a self-proclaimed fragrance lover, this is definitely a scent I like to have with me to top up once or twice a day, but I wouldn’t exactly say it’s essential. For example, you can easily sprinkle it before a garden party and keep it with you throughout the event.

If you’re a self-proclaimed “clean girl” or someone who generally stays away from cheesy fragrances for fear of them being too overpowering or childish, this is a fragrance I would definitely recommend trying. It’s a subtly soft scent that has savory elements without any added sugary sweetness and bright floral notes without the intensity that usually turns me away from them. Needless to mention that it has become a verified compliment magnet since I first started wearing it.
If you’re still undecided about an eau de parfum and want to try it on your skin before investing in a full-sized bottle, I would recommend trying a travel size bottle first to get to know the scent. I find myself very tempted to invest in a travel size to fit in my small event handbag for top-ups when I’m out and about. No matter what size you invest in, trust me when I say that if you invest in Fleur’s Honey Moon, you will definitely be showered with compliments. Keep scrolling to shop the fragrance.
