Creamy honey nectar, pink peonies, real ylang ylang, and peach blossoms.
The queen rules the hive; we all know this. Whether she be a person or a … bee, the queen rules them all. So what makes an imperial queen? She’s the supreme ruler, ranking above royals with her pedigree, descending from an emperor and just naturally being mightier-than-thou. It’s hard work to be the best, but the imperial queen never lets anyone see her sweat. This scent is for all of the people who consider themselves imperial queens, even if they don’t have a fancy pedigree, or money, or if they’ve only worn sweatpants for the last month. Doesn’t matter. We officially decree: Imperial Queen is an attitude, honey.
Scent Notes: Creamy honey nectar, pink peonies, real ylang ylang, and peach blossoms.
I’ve tried over a dozen scents so far, and this is my absolute favorite! My partner and I both love it. It’s such a fresh and pleasant honey scent, I can’t get enough of it.

I would literally scream from the highest mountain top how much I love this fragrance. I would use it for literally every body product I had if I was able to. When they were not stocking this one for a few months I was utterly distraught, the fact that it is back makes me happy beyond all belief!

This perfume hits all of the promised notes in a really beautiful way. Honey can easily overwhelm other notes for me, and ylang-ylang can go sour on my skin, but they are so balanced here that it really works. The other floral and nectar notes suggest honeysuckle in a way that I love. I noticed that there seemed to be a cloudiness to the perfume in the bottle, and when I wrote back to customer service about it, they let me know it was normal and would not affect the perfume or its performance.

When I first put it on, it smelled like sweet tarts and baby powder (yuck!) but it very quickly mellowed out on the skin to a much more pleasant, soft, feminine scent. I think the peonies come through the most, more than any honey scent, but it’s not overwhelmingly floral or grandma smelling.

I never even knew about honey-based scents before trying Suc. I am completely in love w Imperial Queen. I got Stay Sexy as a freebie and was surprised how much I enjoyed the honey and grapefruit combination of that fragrance. Imperial Queen tops it for me. The balance of light florals w a decadent and rich gourmand sweetness is intoxicating.

This is so good! Sometimes honey doesn’t work for me but this one is perfect. Honey, peach, and floral-yum! It reminds me of peach honey stick candy from the old fashioned store.

I soooo wanted to love this scent. I have been on the hunt for a signature honey scent for me, but this one ends up a bit too florally and dries down a bit too powdery for my body chemistry :/
If you want to smell like a field full of flowers, licking honey off your fingers, though, and aren't afraid of a strong floral, this scent is Definitely for you!
Personally, though, I think I'll try black Honey next

Imperial Queen is a delicious, yet sophisticated fragrance. It starts sweet, as a bee would appreciate. The drydown is the essence of honey. I could wear this anywhere!
Laura5/5
Imperial Queen is probably my favorite scent from here. The honey is just delightful (and makes me want a nice cup of tea with honey).
Jennifer S.5/5Verified
I got imperial queen as a sample in a previous order. I love it so much. It's definitely my favorite. I had to order it in a purse size and 1oz I love it so much. It smells sweet like honey. It kind of reminds me of a milk and honey scent. It's a little floral as well.
Ash W.5/5
I got this as an order bonus when I purchased a full size of black honey. I wish they were swapped. This is luscious. Thick, resinous honey, ylang-ylang’s summer sweetness. I wear this in my hair; and my partner crawls all over me.
Lauren C.4/5
I love these! I ordered a few different samples because I don't usually wear perfume, only body sprays. I have to say these are unlike anything I've come across.
They have a very incense stick aura to them and it's so nice because I can't burn incense due to the smoke irritating my asthma.
The Imperial Queen just OOZES honey with a fresh spicy homemade soap smell in the background. I dont smell any fruit or specific floral.
Gemma C.5/5
great size for a good price. this is my favorite sucreabeille scent so far of the ones i've tried (though they've mostly been winners anyway).
Briana D.5/5Verified
Smells like straight up honey, dark and rich and sugary. will definitely buy a larger one next time, and pairs well as an accent scent with other scents
Meagan G.5/5
This scent was very honey heavy, but had a bit of incense smell too. I thought I'd enjoy it more, but I didn't like it. This smell just wasn't meant for me. It didn't last all day either, but it did last around 4 or 5 hours.
Sarah U.2/5
This scent was the absolute best. I got it as a sample and I'm going to have to buy the full size. It is warmth and honey in a smell. This is also one of the few smells that's doesn't ever give me a headache, but only smiles!
Lana N.5/5Verified
I ordered this scent a few weeks ago and honestly, I wasn't crazy about it at first. It was pretty, but nothing special, and I was disappointed. HOWEVER. I took the advice I saw in a comment on another scent and let it rest in the bottle for a while and now...it's an entirely different scent. The powderiness I disliked at first has transformed into a lovely soft floral that is only enhanced by the creamy sweetness of the honey. The florals also seem to linger longer than the honey, which I like. Another excellent Suc scent!!
Jennifer T.5/5
I got a dram of Imperial Queen as a freebie on my first order, since it was already on my list of scents I wanted to try I was excited!
When I first put it on it smelled like anise and baby powder. Dry down though was HEAVENLY. The honey smells beautiful and almost has a light amber quality to it, and I get the Ylang Ylang coming through as well. It's sweet and a little floral, but not cloying. No musk at all, thank goodness.
A little goes a long way too, and it's got some staying power. I LOVE it!!
Cody5/5
Loved the honey in this, I couldn't stop smelling myself.
Vickie D.4/5Verified
The smell is just as it describes the queen been the honey all of it the stories are amazing and enough alone to make you want to try them all my friend recommended Sucrebelle to me and I'll never regret taking her advice to shop here thank you all for being you and for being so relatable to me !
Kayla D.5/5Verified
So, this perfume is AMAZING. If you want to smell like the most beautiful and classy woman alive, you must buy it. It's sweet and flowery and just awesome!
Maureen S.5/5
If you enjoy the smell of honey this is for you. This was my absolute favorite out of all three I ordered. I will definitely ordering some more.
Caitlin M.4/5Verified
Omg. I don't even know where to start. In the bottle, Imperial Queen is sweet sticky honey. Heavenly. I imagined myself walking around smelling like a bee butt and it was everything I wanted and more.
On my skin the honey straight up disappears. Just gone. I was SO sad, and then I had mad honey as well, and the honey in that one disappeared too. I think perhaps my skin just doesn't throw honey at all.
I still adore it, it smells incredible on me. This lovely floral with a hint of something I can't place my finger on, which I suspect is the ylang ylang. This is easily in my top 3 things I've ever smelled.
Aj5/5
My signature scent! Floral with just a touch of sweetness.
Pamela R.5/5Verified
My favorite by Sucreabeille so far. My father was a beekeeper so I’m literally a beekeepers daughter and I ordered this and Beekeepers Daughter as well as Black Honey to try. This was the clear winner and smelled way more like actual beekeeping much to my sadness at wanting Beekeepers Daughter to smell good on me. The Vanilla, Honey and Amber all come through with a slight smoky spice like the real smokers my Dad used, whereas Beekeeper’s Daughter is more of an herbal with honey notes. Real beekeeping is musky, Smokey and sweet smelling. I ordered the 1oz and will keep refilling. Smells amazing with my body chemistry!
Melissa M.5/5
I love love love the scent of Queen Bee. It's so sweet and smells like honey. I had been on a bergamot and lavender kick loving Liquid Gold, but I needed a break from it. I really enjoy having choices and Suc provides so many!
Emydee H.5/5Verified
Sweet smell of warm honey it just makes you feel powerful like you could rule the world.
Nicole H.5/5Verified
Really nice, intense floral honey scent. Very feminine, it's probably not a daily scent for me because it's so intense, maybe once a week. Smells like wildflower honey with a touch of baby powder.
Laura N.5/5
Imperial Queen:
In bottle: HONEY. A little whisper of florals in the back.
Wet: The florals step forward, hand in hand with the honey.
Dry: Sweet florals. Pleasantly perfumed, still a lovely note of honey present.
Elisa N.5/5
My favorite fragrance from Suc so far, will definitely become a staple in my collection. Very honey forward as it goes on but the floral notes open as it sits on the skin. Very nostalgic!
Taylor S.5/5
Gorgeous… like bathing in pure honey. Love it!
Trish M.4/5Verified
Oh, SURPRISE, here's another 5-star review for Imperial Queen! This scent is gorgeous and reminds me of smelling the wild honeysuckle in my old neighborhood growing up as a kid. Plus, I'm a sucker for ylang ylang, so anything blended with it is just divine to me. Imperial Queen achieves what so many designer names can't: the aroma of REAL flowers drizzled with honey. No fake-y flower smell here. Buy this, buy this, buy this! (And Suc, please don't ever retire this one.)

Super sweet. Smells just like honey! Lovely accent!!!
Amber D.5/5Verified
This was my favorite this order . :)
Amy H.5/5Verified
Out of the bottle, the ylang ylang tartness is very strong, but on the skin Imperial Queen is powdery, soft and sweet. I was told it smelled like a better, more expensive baby powder. I love it and I can't stop smelling it!
Mckenzie S.4/5
Imperial Queen will make you feel like queen for the day!!! Love the equal mix of honey, peach and flowers.
