Made in the Netherlands

Slowdive centres itself around honey, doing so with clarity, directness, and realism. Its architecture feels measured and deliberate, with contrasts and pockets of air that allow each facet to come through.

The opening leans grainy and sun-warmed, like bran scattered through a haze of late-afternoon gold. That warmth is lacquered with a bright, nectarous honey, carrying traces of meadow flowers, pollen dust, and green herbs. As the cereal aspect softens, it drifts toward tobacco leaf- first toasted, then gently smoky - broadening the scent into a panorama of ambered hues: orange preserve, chewy raisins, chamomile left to dry in the shade, faint resin like cold incense, a yeasty weissbier glow, and the tang of apple peel.

Threaded through this is a slim, cool line of tuberose. It contributes a crisp green edge, a breath of lift, keeping the composition luminous rather than syrup-laden.

The honey–beeswax accord, Slowdive’s backbone, is judged with remarkable restraint: always perceptible, never collapsing into heaviness or becoming shapeless. Instead of sticking or smothering, the fragrance shimmers, gradually parching as the tobacco gains prominence. It evolves through subtle shifts, settling into a mellow radiance-light filtered through amber crystals, soft, honey-tinted, contemplative.
