Palace Club is mostly a honey scent. It smells of natural honey and a bit of chamomile. What sets Palace Club apart from most other honey fragrances (Slowdive, Bee, Nectar Cachete) is how easy and light it is to wear. Most honey-centric fragrances are linear and while I enjoy their scents, my nose gets tired of them after a short while (especially Zoologist Bee).

Miguel has kept this one delicate, slightly citrussy, slightly mossy, but definitely not straying too far away from the honey as the main player. It feels a bit more medicinal, like honey lozenges for a soar throat. Mostly floral and of course it is sweet, but it’s not the most gourmand of honey scents. I was impressed by it.
