Honey and pancakes. Light on the pancakes, but that undercurrent of mapley, cakey warmth coloring the honey a little more gold. I don't get much floral on initial application, just breakfast honey.
As it dries down, I get a bit more floral, though I couldn't necessarily speak to *which* flowers, but that's personal knowledge lacking rather than necessarily the scent. Still pancakes with lots of drizzled honey, but maybe being eaten in a garden that's *juuuuust* beginning to bloom, so there are *some* flowers, but it's not teeming with them yet, because I don't get any green, thankfully. Or maybe a sunny table with a vase of fresh blossoms? The tree just outside the window? The flowers are *nearby* but the kitchen goodness dominates.
Dry, the honey clarifies to my nose-mind: it's orange blossom honey (one of my faves growing up) over lightly warmed fresh pancakes. I can't get that image away, though I would in no way so this was at all a gourmand, really - it's delicious and reminds me of food, but it's not *foody*. It's the wearable scent version. Hot honey and cold honey always smell a bit different to me, and this one is definitely cold honey now that it's fully dry, but it's no less lovely.

Orange Blossom (as well as roses and apple blossoms) has been renowned throughout the centuries for romantic thoughts and sweet innocent meanings and here we have a blend that brings to mind a bright nosegay at a spring wedding. It's hopeful and enchanting while elevating an elegance factor with every wave of the wrist. I simply adore this one and I thought Bees Love Blue was going to be my spring signature fragrance this year, but Emotional Support Bee has nudged that blend out of the spotlight as everyone close comments on how pretty this honey floral scent potion smells and asks what I'm wearing. For those curious, this is a beautiful sweet lovechild of She Stopped to Pet a Bumble Bee and Twelfth Night Masquerade Ball to my nose.

I got this perfume and She Stopped to Pet a Bumblebee after some minor heartache a few months ago. I LOVE them both--they absolutely do what I hoped they would, which is to say they feel like a hug I can give myself, a quiet gesture of support I have access to whenever I need it. Emotional Support Bee makes me think of the summer, perhaps standing in a garden next to a rose bush. The honey feels like a warm cloud of air, carrying the smell of roses and other unnamed flowers from the happy summer life around you. It does feel like it speaks to grief, and gentleness, and warmth. I love it very much, and I'm grateful to have this little friend around.
