Beverly Hills Exclusive

This was a blind buy due to a great deal I got on fragrancebuy.ca ! Presentation itself is amazing and unboxing experience itself was great and very exciting! I bought it since I was looking for something similar to Sticky Fingers by Francesca Bianchi that I love ! It’s September in Chicago and I already know that’s going to be on a heavy rotation this fall. It’s so well blend with heavy on the honey side but in a very good way . My first purchase from this house and I am ready for more ! Highly recommend! It’s very addicting and I can’t stop smelling my wrist ! More on a masculine side but I think anyone can pull this off !!!! Definitely in my top 10 !

This thing is all about honey and floral notes. There’s some tobacco lurking but honey dominates. It’s fairly powdery and it’s extremely potent. It has a sweetness and old school class I was not expecting. It’s also the only one in the line that I have smelled (which is everything up to the marshmallow one) that didn’t feel totally overloaded with fixatives, although I’m sure it is. It’s easily my favorite from the line and the only one I own. Kutay, Crush on Me, and others have some pleasant pieces but are so synthetic it’s hard for me to even test them. Beverly Hills is just on the line of wearable but it’s pushing the limits of loudness.

Honey is king. If you like honey, get this. If you like rose, get this. If you like Honey Oud by Floris, get this. To me it’s a honey, rose, clary sage scent in that order. There is a tobacco note (similar to Naxos), but it is faint, smothered under the honey and rose. It becomes slightly animalic as it transitions into the heart, but it is very short lived. By the time you recognize it, it’s already gone. This baby needs space and airflow, like a cool breeze, ‘cuz it’s loud and has a realistic honey sweetness. Overall, this is a winner. I’ve had my bottle for over a year and it feels even better. More syrupy thick with great projection.

Rich, classy and although unisex, somehow also very feminine on me. It is deep, a bit powdery-fruity and sweet, but not overly. Honey and tobacco in a beautiful way. Honey is rich and tasty, but not overly edible, it is rather perfumey, but also not synthetic in some off putting way. The feel and even profile reminds me of some very luxurious peach dominant perfume, where peach is not very realistic or artificial candy like, but rather very classy - it is grown-ups perfume after all. It really reminds me of Hundred Silent Ways by Nishane, only this one is deeper and heavier. Superb performance!

For me this starts off as a sweet honey-tobacco fragrance but quickly transforms into a mildly sweet iris fragrance, similar in theme to L’Homme ideal. Dark and nature. Great for formal occasions. Shukran Habibi!
