From drizzling it over a bowl of warm porridge to adding a heaped teaspoon to a cup of herbal tea, honey serves as a versatile ingredient in our lives. And the same can be said with fragrances; it rarely serves as the star ingredient inside a spritz, but more as an accompaniment that helps a fragrance shine to its full potential. Honey is a warm, sweet note, but with an earthy quality that sees it blending well with amber, woods and vanilla notes.
