You are so familiar to me - from the end of the world to the cake buffet
Fragrances are actually a bit like friends for me. Sometimes life companions or even lasting love affairs. Family members. The name I give them doesn't really matter. And if a fragrance is familiar to me, then the inhibition threshold is lower to want to have him absolutely.

With Honoré Delights, I initially thought that we would not become the very best of friends. With Ambrette I can not always. It seems woody to me, often somewhat artificial. But Honoré Delights developed from a fragrance with a small annoying note to a damn good friend. First greeted ELdOs La Fin Du Monde in the prelude. Iris, ambrette, something woody that already hints at the base note. A fragrance I once fell in love with, but then didn't want to keep. With the ELdO, the disturbing note was more pronounced. But that I with Quentin Bischs fragrances often can not, is no secret.

Honoré Delights accompanied me longer and I recognize even more familiar, beloved. In the base note, a wonderfully delicate, soft and refined vanilla comes to the fore. The kind of vanilla I came to know and love in Tokyomilk's Let Them Eat Cake. With Tokyomilk, the love was passé after one bottle length for now. Too much sweetness, too much coconut had this fragrance, so that I after consumed 30 milliliters first not longed for replenishment. But this delicate vanilla, I could not forget. It visited me now with Honoré Delights another time. And this time without coconut and without too much exuberant sweetness. Instead, in a delicate, body perfume, as I prefer my fragrances actually almost always.

Well, what can I say. I will probably have to get it for me, even if we had brief starting difficulties with each other. Whether he will stay permanently, will be seen. And what makes him even more familiar and beautiful for me: he also has this inkling of one of my absolute favorite perfumes, but to Mr. Polly. Namely, Cašran by Chopard. Only the masculine, this slight hint of fougère notes that belong to Cašran, they are missing here. Instead, there is a very gentle neroli citric and a bit more vanilla. Even a hint of iris remains until the end and gives the fragrance for me a rather feminine touch. With yet such a teensy idea, as if my skin had kissed Cašran.

Oh yes, I love you, Honoré Delights. Thank you my dear Connie. I think I'll go get that one now.

Heavenly.
You are heavenly and quiet. Actually, you are too quiet and too shy for me, but you smell so incredibly heavenly that you should move in with me. Every now and then I think you've left but then I get to smell a little delicate cloud of scent, but it's a whisper. You are shy and very quiet. If only you were a little braver and if only you stayed with me longer ...

Your incredibly beautiful ambrette note combined with a cloud of iris powder has fascinated me so much that you should stay with me forever even if you are so shy.

To write it in a normal text, it is a quiet fragrance that has totally enchanted me. The fragrance is powdery and fluffy, but has a bit of
Edge and sparkle from the neroli. In the drydown, the star is definitely the ambrette seed note, which, together with a powdery cloud of iris, makes this fragrance so heavenly spicy and fluffy for me.

I sniff the fragrance every day, even on days when I'm not wearing it. I can't help it, the fragrance is so beautiful.

I would certainly have liked a better performance, but I made an exception for the fragrance and bought it anyway bought it anyway, so I spray it very often.

Linear, Not Balanced, Too Sweet!!
I was not impressed by this. I wanted so badly to love "Honore Delights" but sadly it was just not in the cards for me. I'm a hardcore Gourmand lover so I was really excited about sampling this. I sprayed it on and waited a bit and I took a sniff and it was nothing special. So I sniffed again because I felt like my nose was betraying me, I had hopes and dreams of being swept away to a magical Gourmand place by this fragrance but it never happened. It was like an airplane on the tarmac in taxi mode and its just slowly circling and the passengers are trying to figure out why is the plane not taking off?? What is the real malfunction here!? I realized after sniffing yet again that for me "Honore Delights" doesn't work ultimately because its way too sweet. It's linear and extremely cloying!!. That is saying a lot from me because I love myself some sweet. I'm the Queen of Sweet and I'd rule over Candyland if I could! Lol. But with time I realized I don't just want a sweet bomb, I want sweet, but with balance and complexity and this in my humble opinion does not posses those traits.
