PRIN: Burmite Honey

Released in 2023. $160 for 30 ML (Oh my!). This is one of the most expensive perfumes I have a sample of -- and I think the price may actually be legitimate rather than designer markup, based on these ingredients. Actual fossil. My gosh.

Fragrance Notes:

Amber Fossil, Ambrarome, Amyris, Beeswax Absolute, Black Pepper, Champaca, Cinnamon, Coriander, Cumin Seed, Incense, Jasmine Absolute, Myrrh, Nutmeg, Orange Flower Absolute, Sandalwood Australia, Tangerine, Thai Oud, Tonka Bean

Opens up supremely powder scented like having a rainbow of sandalwood in your face on Holi. The scent of it evokes honey, bringing to mind Slowdive by Hiram Green -- the scent of which I also love but cannot wear because of allergies.

As it dries, the oud, tonka, and jasmine harmoniously create a lovely texture that adds some density -- a pillow to catch you beneath the cloud. Like a cloud, Burmite Honey maintains an airy quality. Never sticky, but inescapably sweet like powdered sugar.

74 degrees F. The weather was cool enough to wear this scent. I've had my sample for a couple of years, but usually it is too hot for me to tolerate sweet powder scents. I'll be enjoying Burmite Honey while I can!
