    Pros
    • Honeysuckle that's true to the living flower
    • Lasts a full workday without reapplying
    • Well-balanced citrus-floral opening
    • Office-appropriate sillage, never too much
    • Benzoin drydown that lingers overnight on fabric
    Cons
    • Some find the oakmoss note dated
    • Moderate projection means it will not fill a room
    • Split opinions on seasonality, not just a summer scent
    • Can feel heavy in very warm weather
    • Limited availability outside specialty retailers

    What others think.

    Honeysuckle at center stage is rare in perfumery, did it win you over, or did the white florals steal it? Tell us what Caprifoglio smelled like on you.
