Slowdive

This is such a gorgeous and well made scent with a beautiful honey drydown. However, the opening notes are very sharp/masc for me (I think it's the tobacco?) but this dissipates relatively quickly leaving a honey smell. Still one of the best perfumes I've ever smelled.

Slowdive is intoxicating in the quietest, most feminine way. It is soft and radiant, yet undeniably rich — the kind of fragrance that makes you keep lifting your wrist back to your nose without even realizing you’re doing it.

At the heart of Slowdive is honey, and not the abstract, sugary idea of honey that so many perfumes get wrong. This is real honey — warm, golden, creamy, and slightly animalic in the most sensual sense. It feels alive. It melts into the skin rather than sitting on top of it, creating a glow instead of a cloud.

The honey is wrapped in soft florals and gentle warmth, giving it a creamy, comforting sweetness that feels nurturing and deeply feminine, yet quietly sexual. There’s nothing loud, sharp, or aggressive here. No synthetic buzz. No masculine edge. Instead, it’s the kind of sensuality that feels instinctive and intimate — skin warmed by sun, closeness, touch.

Slowdive doesn’t try to seduce the room. It seduces you first. It’s addictive in that personal way — the way a lover’s skin smells, or the memory of warmth lingering on fabric. Sweet, but never juvenile. Rich, but never heavy. Sensual without effort.

Honey in Slowdive is not playful or edible — it’s comforting, creamy, enveloping, and quietly erotic. It feels safe and indulgent at the same time. Feminine without being fragile. Sexy without being performative. Slowdive is honey as intimacy. And it is absolutely irresistible. Best honey fragrance I’ve ever smelled - zero synthetic dry down!

I didnt like it

I like how much smells like honey.

Trader Joes used to sell a "Forest Honey". It was deeply colored and almost molasses black. Thick, dense and resinous. Beyond syrupy. You could almost add flavor to your regular clover honey by adding a bit of that. Slowdive reminds me of this. Tree resins in honey. On an olfactory level I keep returning to spray this, checking in to see if it's me or the frag, am I being sensitive or is it THAT HEAVY. I appreciate the honey "realness" and I find it beautiful, but mostly from afar. Spray too much and it easily becomes nauseating. I also appreciate that it's "sticky" as in becomes in embedded in the skin until it is washed. Unique for sure.

I was looking for a honey scented perfume and came across this one. It smells exactly like honey. I know it has notes of
Neroli, orange flower, tobacco blossom, tuberose, honey, dried fruit, resin. However all I get is straight up honey. I’m not sure it’s for me.
