Crimes of Passion: Dirty Honey
4160 Tuesdays (2015)

Nice! My kind of sweet, gourmand, as I am a sucker for lots of honey. Melted wax feel. Buzzy, resinous waves. Cookie crumble vanilla. All honey, all the time. Linear, in a good way. Not sickening sweet to me. Warm. Easy to wear.

4160 Tuesdays Dirty Honey marks another bold resinous entry from the line, after Shazam, which I tried some months ago. It's dominated by the labdanum, beeswax, and honey, with accents of jasmine and vanilla. It has a bit of a floral vibe that complements the slightly animalic side of the resins, but the overall experience is rather sweet and creamy, as one might expect.

As a performer, it's strong and dense, with above average projection for an hour or two and strong longevity thereafter.

At a slightly higher price than most offerings of $95 for 30ml, it's roughly in the category of needing to love it to buy it, and for my money, Shazam gets the edge, as far as resinous fragrances from the line go, not to mention its more modest pricing ($90 for 50ml).

Still, Dirty Honey should be a welcome try for fans of resins in particular.

I do not understand the modern honey accord. I get it in vintages (Antaeus,Boss) but not in L'envol or this one. I find it too sour. Perhaps they are using a new captive.
I don't like it.
But this fragrance does redeem itself in dry down. Soft ,sweet and dirty.

This could be a find for fans of beeswax and honey. It comes across as an effort at smelling natural, and not like typical perfume, perhaps even like a natural oils concoction sold at a farmers market or natural foods cooperative.

This has a base that goes on forever, and it gets better, or grows on me, over time.

OH! BEE-Have!

This is just wonderful for any honey-bears out there! If you are a fan of the animalic honey/beeswax/honeycomb, this is your bag, baby!

I love it - I bought it completely blind. I had a craving for something I could wear when I just wanted that "all-bee" sorta feel. This is that scent. It's not raunchy - but it IS naughty!
