I love this! The scent is so bright and uplifting. I have to be in agreement with some of the other reviewers getting something like neroli and orange blossom instead of a full-on honeysuckle. The first time I used this it reminded me of my beloved Perdizione because this one is also sweet, bright and juicy. Honeyed floral that is so refreshing, vibrant and quite honestly, delicious. 🙂

As a honeysuckle enthusiast, Caprifoglio, from one of the oldest pharmacies in the world which uses fragrance recipes of 13th century Dominican friars, is a must! It’s a lovely perfume – the honeysuckle is more of a montage of the floral notes instead of a photorealistic flower, but it’s so pretty! Oakmoss adds to my personal image with an undercurrent that smells a little bit what I think a monastery does – a dusty, green stony aroma. I’m picturing the medieval monks adding honeysuckle to their starched linens so that they smell a floral benediction. Fresh, light, and appealing!

just a little hint of honeysuckle, but it smells really good with the carnality and sweetness of ylang-ylang and gardenia, and kind of oakmoss based nuance.

At first blast, I get a not so appealing vintage barbershop vibe, but it soon warms and mellows into deep golden floral loveliness that lasts and lasts-
I honestly don’t smell honeysuckle, more of a honeyed mimosa (I know, mimosa isn’t listed here, but that’s what I smell).
Definitely my favorite Novella so far…

Clean and natural honeysuckle. The top starts out so orangey that I was sure there was both orange and orange blossom in it. The heart became increasingly focused on honeysuckle, only to dry down into a mossy benzoin base. It’s a nice, sweet, spring fragrance. It is like a subdued version of Seville a l’Aube, with its zesty opening and resinous base. I wish this was more of a honeysuckle soliflore, but I do like it. As with all perfumes by Santa Maria Novella, it smells like very fine quality materials, not aromachemicals.

I don’t get any honeysuckle from this. Instead, I get full force orange blossom & honey – bizarre, since there are no neroli notes to this whatsoever.
Have you ever had oreillette ou griouche? The pastries are dipped in a combination of orange blossom water & honey. This smells exactly like them. Powdery, floral, & sticky sweet. The scent doesn’t transform for me whatsoever; griouche from application to drydown.
It is a beautiful fragrance. I may pick up a bottle. But, truthfully, I was looking for honeysuckle.

The citrus is very powerful in the opening, then a very rich, full honeysuckle comes in. It’s a very true honeysuckle, has that heady almost juicy quality the flower has. Lasts very well and is great for summer! I don’t get much of the other florals in the background — the honeysuckle really takes center stage.

It doesn’t make me think of honeysuckle, but it is a deliciously refreshing cologne.
