    Real talk

    The beeswax is the whole point. Not a supporting note, the star. If you've been burned by sweet honey fragrances that smell more like cough syrup than honeycomb, this one's different.To Bee
    Honey-forward fragrances walk a fine line between lush and cloying. Botrytis stays on the right side by letting grape and quince provide a vinous backbone, the sweetness knows it has somewhere to go.Botrytis
