Melissa was exhausted. She wanted nothing more than a day to her damn self to do whatever she wanted without question. But with a full-time job and two part-time jobs in the gig economy, she had barely any downtime. Factor in trying to be a good partner, running errands, taking care of herself and her dog and her partner on a daily basis, and all the other minutiae that factor into being a living, breathing human in the twenty-first century left her with almost no downtime. Months of working without a real break were taking their toll: her sleep was erratic; exercise was nonexistent; balanced meals were a joke. Her partner, thankfully, had a stable 9-to-5 in a profession they loved but she never fully understood, like whatever Chandler Bing did that made him good money but none of his “friends” knew what it was.
The rat race was getting to her, and she wasn’t sure how much longer she could keep up with all this work. The simple answer would just be to quit one-plus jobs, but life is never that simple, is it? Or, rather, she knew she could, and should, give up her day job, but leaving stability for the unknown is always a terrifying leap. Add in a hefty dose of “hey you need health insurance” mixed with “your bank accounts are actually positive for once from all this work,” and it made it hard to leave....

Tea and honey, mostly honey, with a juicy underpinning from the apricots. This is a much gentler honey scent than other Sucreabeille perfumes, which makes it a really special one!
I was so excited to find this shop. I had to get a sample pack to try out a few scents, so far I've tried Labyrinthe. First of all. This scent is heavenly! It has the herbal spice of Chai, the citrusy undertones of apricot and the sweetness of honey. The scent lasted all day at work on me, so about 9+ hours. It gives off a warm yet fresh smell that is very comforting. I may be buying a larger bottle of this if it ends up being my favorite of the 5!
I am absolutely in love with Labyrinthine! I would love to see it available in the hair and body products! The apricot and chai tea with honey make it the perfect scent for any season.
This scent is GORGEOUS. My grandma used to sometimes drink fancy loose leaf green tea that her sister-in-law would send her from Hong Kong, and to me this is the scent of that tea in the morning with an open jar of apricot jam next to it. It’s so nostalgic and beautiful.
This was my first time purchasing from Sucreabeille for myself and at the time of purchase, I couldn't find Labyrinthine amongst the CYO 5 sample set offerings (it's there now!), so I bought it solo and I love how it was packaged in it's own little honey-gold pouch! Absolutely lovely all around!
I ordered this one on a whim... wasn’t sure about the chai note. The sweet and tart apricot is what I smell first, and there is exactly enough of that chai spice.. was worried it would be “wintery”, but it isn’t at all. Absolutely divine and I will probably get more of this one
Labyrinthine is just amazing! the perfect spring fragrance.. the apricot is what you smell first, so pretty! that is followed by the smell of a perfect cup of tea..... just love this uplifting fragrance
I just got a sample of this and I'm really loving it so far! It smells exactly like a warm cup of chai tea with that hint of sweetness from the honey, but with a bright, fruity, and freshing undertone from the apricots. This honestly makes for a good fall scent for me, because I'm always drinking chai lattes this time of year. I think I'm gonna get a full sized bottle soon!
My original Labrynthe leaked about 1/8 of the bottle out during shipping. 😟 The bees had this replaced within 3 days. The scent is so pretty. I left the box in the house and my living room smelled fabulous for days. Thanks queen bees!
Love this scent so much!!! Great scent for springtime with the apricots and a little spicy note. Think this one might be my favorite out of the tea collection.
