A fruity floral gourmand with bergamot, grapefruit, red currant, boysenberry, rose, jasmine, peony, tuberose, gardenia, vanilla, musk, sandalwood and patchouli.
Crystal Honey ~ "Crystal Honey represents the joy of life. She inspires play, is carefree and flirtatious. She’s an independent spirit that lives fully in the moment."

Love these bottles!
I can’t decide, but they’re unusual! Wish it didn’t all sound so fruity and sweet.
I too like the bottles but I agree with you Robin.
Honestly all those sweet notes with fruit ruined a potentially gorgeous rose perfume.
Well in all fairness, we can only say it sounds like they ruined it! Very hard to know w/o smelling — they might be barely fruity at all.
