Sweet-Smelling Perfume That Smells Like Honey

For honey with flowers, try Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal EDP. For honey with cinnamon, oud and leather, compare Montale Honey Aoud EDP. The notes around the honey make these two useful alternatives: a white-floral composition and a spiced woody one.

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Eau de Parfum

Original Scandal EDP combines gardenia, honey and patchouli. Start here if the floral part of a honey perfume appeals as much as its sweetness.

One wearer who loves it describes a very sweet, patchouli-heavy scent with lasting presence. Another enjoys the honey opening and a later waxy, incense-shop association but is undecided about a bottle. When trying Scandal, check whether the patchouli and later waxy impression give the honey the balance you want.

Choose Scandal Eau de Parfum for women, rather than Scandal Pour Homme, By Night, Le Parfum or another named version.

Montale Honey Aoud Eau de Parfum

Montale’s Honey Aoud opens with cinnamon and honey, followed by patchouli leaves. Amber, leather, oud, vanilla and white musk form the base. It is the option for a spiced honey-and-wood combination rather than gardenia-led sweetness.

A wearer enjoys cinnamon with sweet honey and finds it projects strongly. Another enjoys the perfume despite usually disliking oud but gets a resinous impression rather than obvious honey. If honey itself is your priority, compare that balance on skin with Scandal instead of deciding from the name alone.

Flowers or spiced woods?

Choose Scandal as your first sample if you want honey beside gardenia. Try Honey Aoud first if cinnamon, vanilla and woody leather are the attraction. Wear either beyond the opening so you can judge the patchouli and later warmth alongside the sweetness.

If neither direction is quite right, our sweet perfume guide compares caramel, brown sugar and coffee-floral sweetness. For other woods and resins, see oud perfumes and amber perfumes. For a different dessert association, compare almond vanilla and floral marshmallow.
