Reviews

312 Saint-Honoré is L’eau Papier's handsome father with salt and pepper hair. LP is warmer and nuttier whereas with BDK you pick up on the angelica root. I have both but only because I got BDK for a steal.

I usually don't like iris in fragrances but here it is pleasant, accompanied by orange blossom, pink pepper, tonka, white musk & other notes that I can't pinpoint individually yet but that work well together overall. Easy reach for spring/summer: elegant, kind of a bit chilly cloudy floral scent, not screaming but confident & pleasant. It's unisex but to me it leans more feminine. Not a beast, average projection & longevity. Pleasant but not worth a full bottle.

I usually don’t agree with the “reminds me of” section, but this definitely smells like L’eau Papier. L’eau Papier is more of an intimate skin scent from beginning to end. Whereas, 312 Saint Honore’ immediately projects and has sillage. Sadly this only lasts for 2 hours before completely fading. If you like the former you’ll most likely enjoy this, that is unless you hate ambroxan. So although more gentle L’eau Papier seems to have better longevity.

I visited the BDK flagship store on Rue Saint-Honore the week of its opening and had such a lovely chat with the sales associate about perfume and travel. After sniffing every single perfume offered and settling on a full bottle of the sublime Creme de Cuir, I went on my merry way with several BDK samples, a gifted travel size of 312 Saint Honore and brand tote bag. To my nose, this scent is a very posh, refined creamy white musk with white florals, and a powdered sugary sweetness. It's super sophisticated and leans "feminine." It will always be connected in my memory of that trip to Paris! To anyone thinking about visiting the store, don't hesitate. It was such a personal and unpretentious retail experience. Great customer service!

L’eau Papier was starchy and heavy on my skin, but this is fantastic. Perhaps 312 works on those that the Diptyque didn’t work for and vice versa? On my skin this is a creamy soft orange blossom with Tonka. The oud and ambrostar and ambroxan create a super fluffy base that helps this from being too floral. 312 also layers well with other fragrances. It LASTS; I can smell this weeks later on clothes. When I wear this I’m constantly getting whiffs of something delicious and realizing it is me! Going to be wearing this a lot in the spring, summer, and early fall.
