The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2013, Honey by Marc Jacobs is a Floral Fruity fragrance created by perfumers Ann Gottlieb and Annie Buzantian. This composition opens with the brightness of mandarin orange and pear, leading into a heart of honeysuckle and orange blossom that reads as delicate sweetness. The base notes of honey and vanilla provide a warm, comforting finish, balanced by subtle woods. It's a fragrance designed to be both familiar and indulgent.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points — Honey's sweet top notes are bright but brief. The warm honey and vanilla base notes will linger for hours, making it ideal for day-to-day wear.
