312 Saint-Honoré (bdk Parfums) is a modern, mineral-tinged orange-blossom centered white-floral. It features sparkling pink pepper and angelica in the top notes, leading to a creamy, powdery heart of orange blossom, iris, and tonka. The base is characterized by a molecular/ambroxan-forward, amber-musk/Thai-oud woody animalic accord, providing a soft, skin-like warmth and a subtle mineral, stone-like shimmer. Initially, it presents as a clean, slightly soapy modern white floral, transitioning to a creamy and powdery heart, and finally settling into a warm, sensual ambroxan-amber/oud musk base. Its sillage is generally moderate to skin-close, with projection varying by skin, often being intimate but with moments of stronger ambroxan/amber projection. Longevity is typically good, with many reviewers reporting 7-8+ hours, and some even 10+ hours. It leans towards fall and evening/night wear, also suitable for colder spring days, and can be worn for casual, date, formal occasions, and sparingly for office settings. It is often compared to modern molecular/white-floral/ambroxan fragrances from brands like Le Labo, Byredo, and Diptyque, but with its distinct Thai-oud/amber twist.
