Honey Bunny

Thick, realistic honey lifted at the top by carrot and chrysanthemum tincture so it feels herbal, slightly woody, and a bit tea-like instead of pure syrup.

Manuka adds a wild, floral edge that makes the honey feel drier and more complex—closer to comb and propolis than candy—while the heart folds in osmanthus and the soft “Holland lop fluff” accord, giving a sense of warm fur and quiet animal warmth. As it settles, hay tincture, beeswax, and propolis deepen the sweetness into something musty-woody and barn-adjacent in a comforting way, like stacked hay, antique wood, and a well-loved rabbit nest rather than a clean, perfumey amber.

If you enjoy animalic honey, herbal tea facets, and hay, this feels like a cozy, slightly feral honey you reach for on cool days, reading nights, or any moment you want to smell like a sun-warmed hive and a very spoiled bunny at the same time.
