This smells to me like super sweet, thick syrupy honey. I like sweet fragrances but this is a bit nauseating to me unfortunately.

This smelled of honey to me. No peaches, no tobacco and no rum...just honey. Powdery, floral, warm honey. All in all, not bad. Actually quite delicious initially. Unfortunately after 3 - 4 hours it was completely gone, just not worth the price point for such poor performance.

Warm with a splash of spice. The moment I smelled this I was happy I got this sample. It has a very elegant vibe and a little goes a long way. Interesting creation.

Obsessed. The first time I tried this perfume, no fewer than three people asked me what secret I had learned, because I looked like the cat who had eaten the canary. The secret was that Hedonist in my hair meant that my head was in a luxurious, fluffy stone fruit cloud all day - strong notes of creamy peach and golden honey. I smelled expensive. I felt expensive. There was a meeting that should have been tense/hostile but it went incredibly well, possibly because I was grinning like a very self-satisfied Cheshire cat for no apparent reason and my enemies were confused and terrified.

This goes on very pretty, gets a little too sweet in the first 15 minutes, and then dries down into the most beautiful, creamy honey. I definitely get hints of peach mixed not the honey, but it's not a fruity smell at all. I try hundreds of perfume samples every year, and maybe 10% of those ever end up in my "to buy" pile. This one went in that pile after the first wearing.

I love perfume but I am highly allergic, so it can be very tricky for me to find anything that works with me. So when I found this perfume and discovered I could wear it without sneezing AND it smelled fantastic on me, I was hard-core in love! I probably wear it too much but it's just so perfect with my skin chemistry, so when in doubt, this is my go-to scent. This is a lovely, uncloying peach and jasmine with a constant, sexy undercurrent of rum that is just subtly stabilizing. And happily, not powdery at all. The spillage works out just fine for me- it wears well for 3-4 hours and when it's gone, it's gone cleanly. After that, I can easily put on another scent.

I bought a sample of Hedonist based on the wonderful reviews so it saddens me to contravene what others have written. All I can say is that "Hedonist" smelled nothing of the description. It was an entirely inoffensive, non-descript floral with a hint of alcohol (I assume to be the rum). I got no peach, no tobacco, no cedarwood or vetiver. In no way to me did this represent hedonism. Sillage was poor and lasting power average. Perhaps it might smell differently sprayed instead of dabbed but I'm not that keen to find out! Sadly a no from me :(

A very complex and rich perfume. In a few words: feminine, sexy, elegant, warm and luxurious. I have a particular relationship with fragrances in general, but once I smelled this one, wow ! I couldn’t get it out of my mind! I’m not very good in detecting specific notes, but I definitely get the peach-honey, tobacco and vanilla note. On my skin it’s delicately soft but powerful at the same time. I’m absolutely loving it ! It also comes in a gorgeous beautifully shaped bottle with little crystals, couldn’t ask for more!

rich fruity-sweet floral. maybe more fruity than floral....the peach comes on strong, but doesn't overtake the jasmine. does feel luxurious and hmm, hedonistic

Jailia and Botrytis have had a love child! Tons of peach and honey! I love sweet, edible scents so this is right up my alley! I wish the honey note lasted until the end, but it disappear on me in the finish. I'm left with a very pretty vanilla scent with a hint of fruit. I'm not sure if I need this when I have Jailia, Botrytis, Madera and Angel...I might though!

Starts off peachy sweet. Turns into "I'm looking for sexy time. What about you?" Does what I expected Putain des Palaces to convey. It's not "stanky," rather, (and not to be graphic) it's, "I've been thinking about you all day baby, and hope you're ready for me, baby." The price is a bit high, for the amount provided. I'd rather have more fragrance and less pizzazz (i.e., crystals in the fragrance, etc.). However, that said, the name fits the fragrance, bottle, concept, etc. Great marketing to go along with a very interesting fragrance.

Love it for the first try! Honey and peach is comforting, lightly sweet, not loud and I think that is a very important part of this perfume: concentrates for your inner voice. Very well composed and has an elegant body. I have watched the video about the perfumer and she is right: such an elegant scent that reminds me of golden age too! I smell some rum little later and that little twist just makes it even better. Congrats!

This is interesting in that it feels like both a classical French perfume and a modern niche perfume, with prominent honey and peach notes. It opens similar to Kilian's Flower of Immortality, but within seconds the honey note announces its present. This is darker and more complex than FoI, and has an opulent, golden quality. This is a "must try". Great composition; I definitely like it, but to me it seems a little heavy for Spring/Summer/daytime. Maybe it would be better in winter or for evenings?

Amazing fragrance! It is not a loud, provoking, vamp-perfume as the name suggests, but rather a refined, sophisticated, luxuriously sensual scent that is easy to wear, has great longevity and refreshingly different from any other perfumes I know!

I smell honey! Spicy honey!not exactly what I was expecting.

Nice perfume, but I expcted it to be richer or darker than it is. It smells a tad spicy to me and is very peachy with vanilla and woods. I did not sample before buying. While I like it, if I'd sampled first I might not have purchased a full bottle. I don't get much in the way of florals, mostly it's the peach, vanilla, woods, and a tiny bit of spice. I would have liked more tobacco and osmanthus. I think the quality is great, it just might not be "my thing" exactly.
