Beeswax, wildflower honey, copal resin, vanilla bean, balsam, and frankincense.

In the Bottle: I get the wildflower honey, the balsam and tiny bit of beeswax.  The honey is interesting as it seems to be very floral

 

On the Skin: Initially, very soft.  The honey is lovely, not too sweet and I almost get juicy orange in there.  The blend, for me veers into cacao territory for a bit which seems to be the vanilla joining in.  As it dries down further, I get more of the beeswax and the frank.  No copal that I can detect.  Very nice.

Hot beeswax and honey pooling on warm, musky skin, sticky and languid and lacquered and frothed with cream. Bodies handled like precious objects, anointed and presented and arranged, elaborate ceremonies. I can imagine this is the fragrance Anne Rice had in mind when she wrote the Beauty series.
