Perfect Nectar is incredibly fruity and sweet but something changes the sweetness on my skin and it turns to a musky mess. Something about most SH perfumes turn on my skin and I find that peculiar. I can smell the juicy papaya for 30 minutes and then after that – musty hot mess. I smell like a fruity cocktail left out in the blazing sun all day. I just smell … off. I never smell the tea or white flowers. Another unfortunate aspect is that it lasts all day continually morphing into an even stickier, sun-baked cocktail.

After reading the description, I wasn’t sure whether this one would work for me. I usually like but don’t love overly fruity fragrances. However, I absolutely adore this one. It’s essentially the feeling of some sort of peachy/apricot drink. The mango and papaya blend together to give the fragrance a warm, sweet appeal. I’m very glad that the ylang-ylang is present to break up the scent a bit and add interest.
Overall, the scent feels high quality and rich, which is difficult to me in heavy fruit fragrances. This one wears well without being too soft or too overpowering.

My first evaluation of a fragrance from this line makes me want to sample them all, it’s so lovely. I get floral over fruity, the papaya is evident. I agree this is a ‘perfect nectar’.

I concede her perfumes aren’t my favorite but there is something extremely artificial smelling about this one, which amazes me. Lots of mango and noticeable papaya. I’m not detecting any citrus, which would improve this tremendously. I think the identified white flower is what’s off to me. Don’t hate it, certainly don’t love it.

I love it for summer, it’s a sweet apricot fruity scent, ends up a soft floral, it’s high quality with the lasting power and concentration of ingredients as with her other perfumes.

From the name, I was thinking that Sarah Horowitz Perfect Nectar might be some sort of honey perfume, but when I donned the juice, I concluded immediately that it was a nectarine scent! Definitely fruit.
Now, having looked at the note pyramid, I see that it is more a mishmash of various orange fruits. To be honest, it smells a bit stale, but it could be incompatible with my natural skin scent. I’m not a fruity fragrance person at all…

I just received my sample of this from Olfactif today. Icky! It’s peachy, sweet, syrupy, Jollie Rancher like. I am not a fan of fruity fragrances at all and I find this one particularly stomach turning for me. Now I understand what people mean by “scrubber” when referring to fragrance.

This smells beautifully creamy and sweet, like a shampoo I wish existed. It leaves a wake of happiness and dries down to a lovely subtle floral. This is joy.

This is not a tropical papaya smell; the papaya & tangerine come off more peach to my nose. The best way I can describe this: it smells exactly like a lit peach-scented candle. It’s sweet, waxy (the white flowers, I guess), and smoky (the tea), in layers. Slightly synthetic, but not in a bad way. It’s NOT “foody,” and is clean smelling. Very strong, you don’t need much, and it lasts well. It’s pretty, but I prefer this smell in my home and not on me.

This is a test of the fragrance oil: At first I thought I smelled pineapple – must have been the combination of papaya and tangerine. Has a bit of green to it keeping it from being too cloying & sweet. I liked the fragrance better in the drydown. I don’t get where it’s “almost edible”. The ylang ylang keeps it from smelling like you could eat it. Alas, it’s on the low like, high dislike side for me. I wished it was more fruity and sweet and less florally. Great staying power and intensity for a fragrance oil.
