    Is the name of Hiram Green's latest all-natural stunner a reference to Slowdive, the seminal UK shoegaze band who recently made a triumphant return to recording after a two-decade absence? The perfumer's notes are vague, referencing only "the mood of those languid afternoons when the sweetness of the Indian summer air is almost palpable." But it's not like those two concepts are unrelated- after all, the best shoegaze music is a lot like that feeling Green describes- an intense, steady hum of warmth and light, almost embryonic in its soothing envelopment. This is the feeling of Slowdive, a richly honeyed bouquet of potent white florals, hazily syrupy and mouthwateringly sweet, with a spicy-floral tobacco blossom featured at the center. The result is a gloriously but carefully balanced overdrive of olfactive noise, a fuzz of ambered, resinous fruits, lush, narcotic florals and invigorating spice, and the newest example of Hiram Green's remarkable ability to make disarmingly complex natural fragrances without limitation. While the connection between fragrance and band remains (appropriately) blurry, we can't help but feel that they'd approve.

    Nice fragrance

    I like how much smells like honey.

    The dive is slow because it's so dense. I wonder what bees would think of it.

    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.

    Smells exactly like honey

    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.
