I blind bought this and was scared of what I was going to receive. It absolutely holds up to it's name. This smells like a cool, but less than freezing Christmas scent. I don't get the fruity 'apple' note a lot of people reference, but boy is the cinnamon present. This reminds me of a Christmas potpourri you'd smell at a street fair, but extremely elegant. I don't pick up on the honey in a sweet sense, but it is a very rich scent. As it dries down, a powdery note comes through but as a powdery perfume hater, I even find that enjoyable. I wouldn't call this a particularly feminine fragrance but I (female) do not feel the slightest bit masculine wearing it. Makes me think of visiting an upscale hotel, that's decked out in holiday decor, being dressed in your holiday evening wear, and on the hunt for some mulled wine. Perhaps a big loud for summer, but I cannot wait until winter to keep this in constant rotation.
