Honey is one of my favourite perfumes. It is a light perfume but it has staying power. Contrary to what some people say I do not find it weak or too whimsical. I find the scent to be uplifting, and a beautiful and quite unique blend of the floral with the fruity. It is soft and all round a pleasing, inoffensive scent yet with that powerful undertone of beautiful honey suckle that lasts for a long time and when you catch whiffs of it, it is really gorgeous. I don’t know exactly why but there is just something unique about this perfume in a most endearing way.
This perfume is very cheerful and youthful, but I also see it as being timeless and ageless. It also has a quiet elegance to it, because it is just so cheerful and soft. The notes, which I think are honeysuckle, punch are orange are harmoniously blended. It is probably the nicest intertwining of the floral and the fruity that I have come across. I also think it is wearable in any season and even at night as well the day.

This is a nice generic spring time floral. I dont get any honey or really any actually notes. The scent stays the same from spray to drydown & its a rather boring floral. Its has performance issues as well. I got maybe 3 hours before it was totally gone. I think it is a happy smelling perfume, like some have said, but there are other perfumes like that for a better price that actually have a longevity that will get you through the day.

Honey, Marc Jacobs
Garden fresh with white florals, bright citrus, drizzled in honey. A burst of citrus opens this fragrance, accompanied with white florals. Smoothed over with sweet honey, vanilla, and woods. It’s like being in a botanical garden. It’s a very bright, and vibrant scent.
And sometimes, you just adore a bottle.
Longevity and sillage are both average. Xo

I bought 4 mini Marc Jacob perfumes to bring with me when I studied abroad in Europe. Before I got to use the honey, it spilled in my make up bag while I was on the plane. Needless to day, I got a wiff of it every time I used my make up bag while abroad and loved the scent. I smelled it on someone recently and it reminded me so much of Europe. If anyone would like to swap please let me know!

It’s been a long time that I have honey in my wishlist but I couldn’t find it’s tester or sample.finally I decided to blindbuy it
I love collecting Marc Jacobs bottles but I’m not a fan of it’s perfumes.Daisy and Daisy so fresh are nice but not my thing.Oh Lola is pretty but very faint and not memorable.Lola is more intresting but I don’t enjoy it’s tones of pink pepper.Decadence was the only one I find price-worthy as it is complex,unique and strong but now I can also name Honey as a Marc Jacobs which I like
I imagined honey to be simple,linear,childish and faint.I was wrong because it’s not faint by any means.it’s not a heavy perfume still projects well
My first try was a huge disappointment.I bought it because I love honey,honey suckle,orange flower,pear and vanilla but it was very lemony on my skin.the only thing I could smell was lemon hard candy or yellow lollipop.
I don’t know what exactly fruit punch is but I know that I can mostly detect citrusy fruits not pear or peach(or it’s a very fresh kind of peach not a ripe and sweet one) but what made me start to like it was that after a while I can detect less lemon candy and more florals and florals are so lovely here.I adore honeysuckle and it’s here hand in hand with a light orange flower while some not so sweet lemon candy sparkle makes it youthful and playful.it’s honey isn’t more pronounced than Mariah Carey Honey but thanks god it’s not as tart fruity as Mariah Carey’s Honey which is loaded with sourish pineapple and lemon
Honey is fresh but has a little sweetness.it’s delicate but isn’t faint.it’s playful but is not juvenile.it’s clean but not soapy.it’s truely feminine,bright and summery,refreshing and easy to like.
I wish that I could pickup more honeysuckle,more honey and more sweetness but I can’t say that it isn’t lovely as it is.it may grow on me after a while and become more floral and sweeter.who knows
For now I LOVE it’s cute bottle and I like it’s scent still I believe that 100$ that they ask for a 100mil bottle of it in my country is too much for it

This is a clone. A clone of Sandra Dee. I LOVE THIS!
vashregru – :
Like others have said, you mostly notice the punch and white floral (not honeysuckle). Honey is the wrong name for this fragrance, but the punch note is interesting. It is a sweet scent, but the white floral makes it feel mature as well. I wouldn’t be surprised to find this scent among the Escada summer editions. This has NO sillage or projection. I need to have my nose an inch away to smell it, which is too bad, because it’s not a terrible scent.
santeh48 – :
I struggle to smell much when I spray this it is so light. I really don’t know how to describe it and I’m going to be odd and say it smells a bit like sunshine and pear with a bit of a honey note in the literal sense like raw honey that isn’t that sweet. It really is an odd one and I am not sure why I have it lol as to be honest apart from the cute bottle I’m not that impressed. I don’t get what the perfume was aiming for. I think it needed to have more character to it and last more than 10 minutes after many sprays.
das-das – :
Ultimate shampoo scent. Fruity, fresh, playful, a good pick me up.
The name “Honey” is a little misleading. I don’t find it very honey-forward. This is really mostly punch and pear, but I do smell the honeysuckle which is very nice.
I’m surprised by the “punch” note. But yeah, you can really smell it. Pretty fun! Not mind blowing but very pleasant. I like it more than I thought I would.
shvedov-1960 – :
Sadley it is disconntinued now. You can buy it for the half price now. It is such a happy perfume. For summertime, and holidays. So store up ladies, because soon this beauty is gone forever, and the prices will go sky hight…….
ярослав 1996 – :
A quintessential fruity-floral. A pretty, good-natured shampoo scent. Ultimately a bit humdrum for me; it never quite gets to where I’d like it to go, wherever that may be, as the notes are a bit too muddled. I think this scent would benefit from increased clarity, like if Jo Malone did Fruit Punch & Honeysuckle. As it sits it gains a dry quality which adds some interest.

When I was a little girl I use to play with the flower known as jungle geranium, Ixora Coccinea; I took the small flower, pulled the stigma out and at the bottom it has a small doplet of nectar… I used to taste the nectar and every time, my nose got filled with a fresh sweet aroma… This perfume reminds me to that aroma and it brings back so great memories from my childhood… Love this perfume!!!

The bottle is adorable
andreivmb78 – :
I dont really know on this one, now. I got it in a trade as a pass along so I can’t complain and there’s only enough to last me a few good months. I’ll definitely use it, with gratitude and pleasure. Would I have ever bought a bottle? Still not sure. Its much more layered than I would have assumed, but there’s something odd beneath those layers on my skin. It’s almost as though the scent was created and all was going well, but development was ceased and it was released as is.
Dont get me wrong. That sensation vanishes after a few hours, but its unusual.
Peach punch, violet, mandarins, jasmineand and a little honey. Perfect for young women and anyone with a youthful spirit
NityBiort12 – :
To be honest, I like the scent but loved the bottle. Convinced my boyfriend to buy this one for me. Its very flowery on me but yet light enough to not induce a migraine. On the dry down I can really smell the honey and honeysuckle. I don’t wear it as often as my other perfumes but it is a nice go to scent on a warm summer or fall day.
artimiAssomma – :
Honey is sweet and innocent yet grownup enough for an older lady, like me, to wear. I have read there are floral notes in Honey but I just don’t smell them. All I smell is sweet and fruit throughout the whole composition. The drydown smells of a sweeter vanilla than most other dry downs. While this is perfect for the spring and summer I do like to wear it any time of the year as a pick me up from the cold and gloom.
I fell in love with Honey about two years ago and just used it up to test for a review. I don’t know if I’ll repurchase Honey. Not because I don’t like it but because I want to save my money to try other scents that are new to me. But I still might repurchase Honey because I like it so much. But just like many other scents, it will be added to my want list
tautsmapy – :
I was testing this earlier today and I noticed that first spray was a lovely fresh floral, then transformed into a cantaloupe type of scent. I know that there’s no cantaloupe note in here but something is so melony about this perfume!
The dry down was one of those “rockets” candy, sort of sweet, slightly powdery and tart.
This is what I’d call a fresh floral, I like how light it is and only a bit sweet
I know that this is probably not at all how this fragrance is supposed to smell but I’m not mad at it, I really enjoy this despite my body chemistry messing up the notes.
Edit: I tested this and Daisy @the same time, this one lasts longer on the skin and projects stronger
SanjaCupan – :
Mostly it is white floral and punch note. There is some chemical perfumery note. It smells bit like meadow. Mandarin gives bit tropical-fresh vibe. Floral- fruity fresh (almost soap/deodorant like, but not really) with pinch of sweetness and honey. Usually for me seems weird when warm notes are mixed with cooler ones, but in this perfume there is not much to dislike and it is inoffensive enough. Lightweight for spring/summer. Bit romantic, little bit sporty and ‘free’. ‘Free’ as 70s flower children in a sunny summer day in a good way. Not serious perfume. Probably won’t get a lot of compliments. For younger audience and for those who feel young in their hearth.
Gizinenty – :
I forgot I had this one! I was looking for something in my bathroom cabinet and stumbled across a giant 3.4 oz bottle with about 1/4th remaining.. apparently I did love it at some point! It’s a very nice fragrance to revisit.. though it is a bit shampoo-y, which gives it a nice clean vibe. Very office friendly, nothing offensive in this scent whatsoever. The honeysuckle and orange blossom reign supreme in this and that is probably why I loved it so much in the past as I am a sucker for those notes! The fruit punch is dominant at first spray and then only flits in and out during the dry-down, giving a nice added touch of sweetness. There is a bit of muskiness from the honey note but not overpowering.. all in all just a very well-rounded, pretty little perfume.
chilly2 – :
Zingy & sweet . Mellows out to a fine smelling hum of honey …I really like this scent !
sergeykoshkinW – :
This is one fragrance that I can actually notice every note listed. That’s pretty impressive to me. Smells true to the description very fresh and sweet (but not overly so, imo). It has a little bit of something to appeal to most people! I do not usually like florals, but I love the fruit and honey in this. My boyfriend likes florals, so he really enjoyed this, as well. On a few of my reviews and forum posts, I have mentioned that I am kind of on the quest for a perfume that my boyfriend actually appreciates and this one is probably second to Ghost Deep Night! It gets the Ryan rating of 8/10. I would probably give it the same. I can see it being my go-to in the Spring daytime, for sure.
Also!!! I *think* this may be getting discontinued? Don’t quote me on that, but I don’t see it at Sephora anymore, or Marc Jacobs own website.. soooo if you’re curious to try it, it seems like now would be as good a time as any to snatch up a bottle. JS.
aplyus – :
My wife really enjoys this fragrance and so do I. I think its age appropraite for here. It’s not overly floral like an old lady or going to give me a toothache like a teenage sweet scent.
sanek15 – :
This smells like the little-girl fragrance Petal made by Cynthia Rowley for Avon, one of the few non-Avony-smelling scents that was the daughter part of a mother-daughter perfume duo.
Fresh clean hair and sunshine, very very young, like age 12. It makes me feel like playing with pretty dolls, lol. Loads of honeysuckle or maybe a touch of sunflower.
Marc Jacobs usually does not last on me (except for Decadence) so let’s see if I can still smell this at the end of the day.
/// Oh yes, I can; the drydown is something modern and a lot less fruity, quite creamy. Would never have picked this up myself as a floriental girl but am glad to have tried it. I swear the ending is like (Paul Sebastian) Casual so now I have to buy a (luckily dirt cheap) bottle of that to compare.
borisock – :
My sister purchased a bottle but ended up giving it to me. I like it but not enough to buy it for more than the $20 or whatever our arrangement was. It is light, feminine, office appropriate, and nothing special. Smells a bit synthetic, which I am generally okay with.
zizop10 – :
Reading the reviews of this, has been enjoyable and at times a little entertaining.
I tend to shy away from MJ frag’s because my track record with his frag’s is not the greatest. I tend to think that the bottles are gimmicky, and more often than not to me it feels like more thought went into designing the bottles as opposed to creating the actual fragrance. But again, my track record with Marc Jacobs frag’s just is not a good one.
So when I saw a 50 ml/1.7 oz bottle marked at $12.00 at TJM, I left it on the shelf…Went back a couple days later and it was still there. Weird that this is in Ulta, btw… I kind of felt sorry for it on the shelf there at TJM… Weird, I know. Anyhoo…. This little bugger finally left the TJM shelf, made it to the checkout line, and was on it’s way home with me.
Yes, the bottle can be said to be cute, if a little immature looking to an older gal like myself. But I am not one to be about the bottle, it is more about the fragrance to me.
This is surprisingly delightful, refreshing, sunny, happy. Fresh, sort of clean scented. I expected a honey overload, but I really can’t pick up the honey note. Where is the honey..? Hmm. But this is quite light, not loud and no worry about being a sugar-bomb. Just a light, clean, fresh, refreshing scent.
There is no way I personally would pay the full retail for this, but for $12.00 for this decent sized bottle? Yes. Pretty pleased with this one. It is light and fresh, which may sound boring, but something about this is just a little different, that I can’t quite place my finger one. And while I see “fruit punch” as the main note voted the highest, I might not have gotten this if I had seen that. But I am not detecting a fruit punch scent..Not Hawaiian Punch or anything, that is for sure! But just a light fresh, refreshing, sort of energizing scent.
Turns out this is a pleasant surprise. Not an everyday frag for me, but still happy to have this and will look forward to wearing this more in the Spring and Summer. Pleased with purchase, and no worry about pawning this clunky little bottle off on someone….Fun and fresh. Really there is no honey scent to me at all, but still a fun and fresh scent.

This gets a solid “meh” from me. It’s not so bad that you’d feel physically ill from it, but it’s not mind-blowingly good, either. Marc Jacobs’ “Honey” leaves you feeling underwhelmed. To me, it smells like lemon, honey, and Earl Grey, and while that sounds like it SHOULD smell good, the execution of this composition just lacks sparks; it smells watery and flat. The perfume does smell better on cold days than hot ones, however. I will use it up because the bottle is very darling, but will not repurchase. “Honey” was a blind buy, and while it wasn’t bad enough to warrant a return, and I got it at a deep discount at TJMaxx instead of paying full price, it’s just an unspectacular scent that has no purpose, no reason to exist, and leaves one wondering why anybody even bothered to make it in the first place. It’s almost like its perfumers were asked to make something passable under time constraint. A very hohum scent. Yawn.

Such a summery scent!. It smells like honey mixed with melon at first.. unfortunately on my skin it turns to like a rotten fruit smell after a while so doesnt work with my chemistry. Such a shame because i like the scent.
plutveirtiere – :
Go for another scent if you’re looking for sweet honey. This perfume has honey in it but it’s more fresh, fruity and floral than sweet. It’s not a warm scent at all. I would describe is as neutral or slightly cool. It turns soapy after a while but I don’t mind it too much. It’s a great scent for teenagers or those young at heart. Nice, clean and simple!
aibollit89 – :
What a surprising masterpiece this is! I just tried it for the first time, and was amazed by its sheer sweet beauty! The intensity is just right. It is a scent that begs you to come closer. Leaves a beautiful sillage trail. Many appealing notes, and I think it could be worn in any season.
romanow – :
This fragrance reminds me of summer or a warm spring day. For a long time this was my signature scent, I bought it originally as a 21st birthday present for my son’s aunt. I kept smelling it on her and couldn’t resist buying one for myself. I’m into sweet feminine fragrances and this definitely hit the mark for me! and it worked well on my skin and I could still smell it by the end of the day on my skin and on my clothes.
I can definitely pick up the honey note but it isn’t to sickly, but the first notes I notice is pear & honey suckle. Definitely a warm weather fragrance.
I still have a fair amount left in my 100ml bottle but once it’s gone I’m not sure I’ll replace as there are other fragrances I’ve discovered that I’d much prefer to spend my money on. but anyone who is interested in this perfume or a lover of honey type fragrances this fragrance is beautiful but I’d suggest buy a lower ml bottle
NefoL – :
This was a blind buy for me as it sounded right up my alley. It’s strange to me that there are so many sweet notes listed in Honey. I don’t get any fruits, vanilla or even “honey”.
That’s not to say it’s not a nice fragrance- it’s pleasant enough and inoffensive, but nondescript. If anything, I get a little pear in the top notes but it’s a watery one, not juicy. The rest is clean and floral and I can’t much pick the notes apart.
Nice and safe choice, but to me it’s rather generic and forgettable. Sillage and longevity are okay, I’ll finish up my 1oz bottle on lazy days but would not repurchase.
culiok – :
I have two vial samples of these and have spritz this on myself today, the initial spray gives me mixed fruit punch & honeysuckle. It is clearly shampoo sweet kind of smell, exactly what your bathroom would smell like a few minutes after you washed your hair with honeysuckle syrup… LOL!! 🙂 I don’t get any pear from this, the honey is super soft. Its more suited to the younger generation as to me in my early 50’s, this fragrance spells YOUTH altogether. Lasts for about 2 hours on me on a hot humid day.
anzelliie – :
I really don’t understand why this perfume has so many negative reviews 🙁 . I really, really like it. This fragrance is summer in a bottle and is really nice to use when the sun comes out. I agree with reviewers that it’s not a strong honey scent, but i don’t think i would like to smell of honey during summer anyway lol. Nonetheless, it’s amazing and i believe Marc did this perfume just right. I’m a big lover of slightly floral, fresh scents, with just a dash of sweetness and this perfume has all of that. It’s light, fresh, slightly sweet, and citrusy. I enjoy the honeysuckle & orange blossom that lingers throughout too. Regardless of this perfume being light it lasts. After my shower I could still smell it on me!
I love the bottle. One of the cutest bottles out there probably and would definitely recommend based on my usage. However, I do know a lot of others don’t like it so definitely test it out first. XO
ed309 – :
i got a light bit of sweetness in the beginning that was nice – but the dry down is pure honeysuckle on me. I was anticipating this to smell a bit more like honey than honeysuckle. If you like honeysuckle this would be right up your alley.
selelo – :
If you took honey and honeysuckle and made it into a shampoo Marc Jacobs honey would be the smell. I love this! I really enjoy shampoo like perfumes. Definitely spray this in moderation because it is potent.
par68 – :
Soapy floral with an artificial fruit punch. The pear comes through but it’s a candy pear rather than fresh. The honey also doesn’t smell warm and authentic, but rather cold and sickly sweet. I don’t have love for this one, unfortunately!
vsv665Bessinepome – :
I got a sample of this from a friend and loved it from the get-go. It reminds me what a youthful and lively person would wear, very simple, lighthearted and cute.
eytingon76 – :
Marc Jacob’s Honey is yet another fruity floral targeted towards the younger market. It was hard work tracking this fragrance down as a majority of stores in my area had sold out of Honey over Christmas and were having difficulty re-ordering stock.
Honey is not a true representation of honey, it’s more fruity than anything else. Unlike other reviewers I get a lot of fuzzy peach in this fragrance and the slightest hint of juicy pear. I actually consider this fragrance quite easy to wear and pleasantly inoffensive. Of all the Marc Jacobs scents, Honey is the best gift option for a young girl as the scent is not too overwhelming.
I’m out of the targeted age range for this fragrance, so it’s not surprising that I don’t wish to add this fragrance to my collection. I am however glad that I tried it as honey dominant fragrances have intrigued me greatly as of late.
The sillage was moderate on my skin, however the longevity was superb, lasting well over 7 hours. Honey is only just starting to reach the discount stores, so I would highly recommend checking out the bargain shelves before paying full price in a department store. Out of the Dot, Daisy and Lola range, I can safely say that Honey is in my opinion one of the better scents from Marc Jacobs.
neobus – :
it is a pretty smelling perfume-nice for a young girl….but it only gas a tinge of honey smell.
i smell the pear, white florals, and some peachy tones.
it isn’t a love…and i won’t be buying a full bottle-not because it isn’t a nice scent-it just isn’t my style-i m not too fond of pear notes.
still is a pretty light unoffensive scent-good for an office or summer…even church.
timurtashkent – :
This fragrance smells absolutely juicy, delicious and addicting.
If I had to live with a Marc Jacob’s scent for the rest of my life, it’d be this one.
chalnike – :
Sparkling is the operative word here.
The first blast is comprised of woods and honeysuckle. As it opens the citruses blossom in all their tangy sweetness. This is a crisp, fresh, peppery, woodsy and fruity fragrance. The pear lends a fullness to the composition. The heart reminds me of J’adore because of the peach and orange blossom.
There is a cleanness and woodsy nuance that gives it an edge that many fruity fragrances don’t have.
The only criticism I might have is that the sillage and longevity is not ideal.
The bottle is adorable (I love bumble bees!).
Lovely spring fragrance, and I am fond of it anyway now as it is a gift from a very good friend.
talexx90 – :
I sometimes blind-buy fragrance minis when I have a bunch of drugstore coupons. The coupons bring my cost down to about $5 (and sometimes less), so it’s fun to pick something without thinking about it too much. This was one such blind buy.
HONEY is a pleasant, but very, very light floral-nectar scent with faint undertones of sweet/sour fruit. On me, HONEY is so soft that I have to apply it as liberally as body spray in order to smell much of anything. I have scented soaps that leave a heavier fragrance on the skin. I suspect that on a hot day, the scent would be somewhat more pronounced, but in winter, there’s almost no point in wearing this at all. I find the longevity to be about 3 hours. Because of these issues, I’m not likely to repurchase.
4elovek – :
It’s apparent after reading the reviews, your either going to love it or hate it. Plain and simple.
I find this a comforting scent of honeysuckle, orange blossom with a hint of fruit that makes me smile when I catch a whiff of it throughout the day. I also receive a lot of compliments at work.
This is probably not helpful, but I would say try this one for yourself if you find those notes interesting. I find Honey delicious in every way!
voinkeneutigo – :
smells like coach poppy blossom. also like keratin dry shampoo. not a fan. its too zingy for my taste
hunyadipatrik – :
It’s a shame that this is not an absolute Honey fragrance, as that’s what I was hoping for. Honey is one of my favorite perfume notes.
Several post below mentioned it was a concept of a bee going through flowers AND collecting honey. I can see that..
This is a fresh, honeyed-floral scent that’s delicate and clean ..the honeysuckle & orange blossom definitely give this fragrance a soapy & bright personality. It’s almost TO soapy (I am THOROUGHLY surprised no one else thinks Honey smells like soap!!) Personally, I didn’t detect any fruit punch. So I layer Honey with Bath and Body works Wild Honeysuckle to turn down the sharpness and bring up the sweetness! They work wonderfully together, because Wild Honeysuckle is sweeter than the honeysuckle note in this MJ perfume. It seems to even things out, even if it’s not a pure Honey fragrance.
The good thing is, the drydown does get warmer and sweeter but that soapy quality still remains. Sometimes I get the image of me being in a yellow shower, with my yellow bar of soap. Pull back my yellow polka dotted shower curtain, only to see my ENTIRE BATHROOM is yellow themed…Honey is so bright/sharp sometimes it’s headache inducing. But it’s a great fragrance when you’re in the mood. Oh, and GREAT lasting power, 8 hours max.

I’ve been wearing Honey for two years and I’m only just now realizing that I never wrote anything about it. I got it as a Christmas gift in 2014, where I fell head over heels for the cute little bottle. I was 19 at the time, and had never really given a second thought to it whenever I saw it in the store. Turns out, it works so well with my skin and smells so soft and powdery. It’s mostly a little mix of fruit, honeysuckle and orange blossom, and I find it so charming and pleasant. Oddly enough, I don’t see it as a summer scent. Perhaps it’s because I got it at Christmas and wore it every single day for months after that, but to me, it’s a winter scent that reminds me of that first year I spent in college, far away from my hometown, trekking through four feet of snow to get to my favourite little restaurant in Chinatown.
alekssafer – :
This is the most glamorous summery scent! Straight off the bat you can get a huge burst of peaches, and then it dries down to a sweet cocktail of mandarin and pear and there’s some honeysuckle in the background, so it’s a little bit floral. This would easily be a summer signature!
VitalyRozhdaev – :
Lemon Pledge…….it is a very nice citrus fragrance, but my misunderstanding that it would be an actual HONEY fragrance left me disappointed.

This is the first Marc Jacobs fragrance I have tried. It smells very familiar, but the name escapes me. Flowery and sweet-smelling. No surprise at all.
P.S. – Later I recognized that this scent is almost identical to Aqua Flore by Carolina Herrara almost to a “T” This perfume is no longer in production.Recommended For young, active, romantic,open minded persons.
Galimullin-ufa – :
It starts with a blast of overly sweet mixture of fruits. It dries down to a more acceptable fruity fresh scent, but punch is lingering throughout. I like honey in perfumes, but unfortunately in this one I can hardly detect it. A “no” for me.

Mihaylo26 – :
Honey by Marc Jacobs opens with fruit punch and honeysuckle that mellows to a gently powdery pear, some orange flower, and a touch of honey. This is definitely a “young and fun” scent. I generally avoid scents that have pear in them and was not too impressed with Dot (I got that as a gift), but received a free sample of honey and was surprised with how much I liked this! I like that Honey has a fresh floral fruitiness to it rather than some syrupy-sugar bomb that I’ve come to expect from most fruity perfumes. I get a lot of compliments and have people asking me to write down the name of it all the time. The bottle is darling too!
