Club Lights, Sticky Lips: Régime des Fleurs Drops Wicked Honey

If honey in perfume were a person, she’d be the friend who looks angelic at brunch and then ends up dancing on the speakers at 2 a.m. That is exactly why the new Wicked Honey from Régime des Fleurs, created with DJ and cultural force Honey Dijon, has my pulse up. Limited edition, club-born, art-school polished. Yes please.

Honey is tricky. On skin it can swing from tea-and-biscuits to full throttle animalic. I’ve learned that the hard way, wearing By Kilian Back to Black to a warehouse party and discovering it blooms into a smoky hum under heat and bass. Wicked Honey sounds primed for that same heat-meets-skin moment, only with a DJ’s instinct for tension and release. Expect contrasts. Maybe gleaming nectar with a waxy undertow, maybe an ambered hum that edges into something a little wicked when the lights drop.

For context, a few honey benchmarks I keep in my mental rolodex:

• Serge Lutens Miel de Bois for the feral, provocative growl.
• Zoologist Bee for plush pollen and beeswax, pillowy and golden.
• L’Artisan Parfumeur Séville à l’Aube for honeyed orange blossom that sings at twilight.

Where might Wicked Honey land? My bet is somewhere between polished gallery opening and sweat-slick dance floor. Régime des Fleurs tends to paint in high-definition textures, so I’m hoping for beeswax glow over skin, maybe a glint of citrus or floral static to keep the syrup lit from within. If anyone understands how scent moves in a room, it’s Honey Dijon. Picture that moment when the bass softens and a vocal slips in. That is how I want this to lift and settle on skin.

Wearing advice, learned by trial and late nights:

• Test on warm skin. Honey needs body heat to find its shape.
• Go easy on the trigger in close quarters. One spray can be intimate, three can be a headline.
• If sweetness spikes, layer a clean citrus cologne or a dry leather to cut through the stick.

Limited editions vanish faster than an after-hours invite, so if honey is your kink, get your nose on Wicked Honey while it’s still humming. I’ll report back once I’ve danced with it properly.
