Mad Honey in detail
Mad Honey is signed by Alex Lee for Born To Stand Out, the Korean house. Its name evokes "mad honey", a rhododendron honey known for its intoxicating effect; the house publishes only its pyramid, with no text. Volute files it among gourmands.
The official pyramid opens with rum, its only top note. The heart gathers honey and fruity Damask rose. The base pairs Bourbon vanilla, tonka bean, patchouli, benzoin and Orcanox, an ambery, woody synthetic material from Mane.
Mad Honey suits autumn and winter, mostly in the evening. Rum and honey give it a warm, liqueur-like sweetness, which patchouli and Orcanox extend over an ambery base. The rose in the heart keeps it from becoming too sugary.
Three gourmands in our catalogue come close: Triumph of Bacchus Extrait by Argos shares rum, patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla; Enigma Pour Homme by Roja Parfums brings back patchouli, benzoin and vanilla; Indecent Cherry, from the same Korean house, also pairs vanilla with benzoin.
