I buy a local buckwheat honey and this is spot on to that scent. Very rich and nuanced, not like crappy mass produced clover honey. At any rate, I'm really glad I ordered it! I have honey scents from several different suppliers because I need slightly different "honey" profiles depending on the rest of the blend. This one is perfect if you're matching it with other strong scents. It makes a "delicious cup of tea" when you put it with bergamot and black tea scent. Also smells awesome with woody scents. A drop added to the Olive Leaf and Citron scent was a killer combo, I'm testing it now with a few other notes to see if I can create that illusive Osmanthus scent. I don't want to spend $100 making a box of incense with the real thing. You already helped me blend the perfect Petrichor, so fingers crossed!

True honey

This is the most true honey scent I’ve purchased! Indistinguishable from the real thing. It’s very strong though so use in moderation.

Nailed it!

This is it. The single note honey you've been looking for. No floral, no powder, no mustiness, no spices, no nothing... JUST honey... perfect, sticky, sweet, straight from the jar honey!

Memories flooded with this one...

Both my grandfathers raised honeybees. This smells like a fresh harvested honey jar with the honeycomb in it. This is my first time every buying from Candle Science, I'll be back.

Not just, the sweet, this smells as if you harvested yourself. It is so good, you will forget the your are smelling a fragrance oil. Not used it in any products yet, but I can see the being a great personal care scent.
