How does Maison Asrar Oh Honey! smell?
Blackcurrant is tart, jammy and slightly sharp, spicy apple adds crispness with a hint of warm spice, and a general citrus note brightens the pair. In the heart, white flowers give a soft, creamy floral background, honey adds a sticky, golden, slightly waxy sweetness that fits the name, and cedar contributes dry, pencil-like structure. On paper this is a bright, tart-and-sweet fruit opening that deepens into floral honey, with the cedar keeping it from drifting into pure sugar.
Sandalwood, vanilla and Orcanox form the base. Sandalwood is creamy and smooth, vanilla supports the sweetness, and Orcanox is a synthetic woody material that gives a dry, slightly mineral edge. The sweetness described is fruity and honeyed, resting on a smooth, creamy and lightly dry wood, so the wood keeps the sweet side balanced instead of sticky. The Sweet label is clearly earned, but the tart blackcurrant should keep it lively.
What Maison Asrar's own page says about Oh Honey!

It also puts words of its own on three of the notes: blackcurrant (fruity, deep, projecting), honey (warm, sweet) and tonka (warm, sweet, projecting).
Who might like Maison Asrar Oh Honey!?
Oh Honey! is for someone who likes sweetness with some bite: tart blackcurrant and spiced apple first, then honey and vanilla. Maison Asrar scents that mix fruit, honey or vanilla with a clean woody base are the fair comparison, and the thing to check is how much tartness each one keeps.
