Tobacco

Was versprochen wurde, haben wir bekommen - den süßesten realistischen Honig mit einem Hauch von Tabak. Er ist wunderschön, verdammt poposlippig und sehr guerlainesk.

Die Bienen sind hier nicht entsteint, sondern nur auf einem Tabakfeld, um Nektar zu sammeln.
Der Tabak bahnt sich seinen Weg auch in die Basis, die hartnäckig im Honig ertrinkt.
Ich brauche ihn nicht, aber Fans von Guerlain und Sobakovanili sollten ihn sich genauer ansehen.

Unique in Familiar way

This will likely end up being recognized as one of the premier tobacco spicy honey fragrances ever created.

I have several of them, and I'm a fan of the profile. Naxos, TV, others. They're great.

This is better. This is the best honey note that exists, the tobacco is sharp and real, and yes you do pick up the roasted warm sesame and lightly funky oud, which are delicate and quite magical. People say there isnt any oud, but there is. It smells real and a touch funky, which acts as the foil for the sweet honey nutty sharp tobacco. Genius.

Note: after several wearing, this has an almost salted butter effect in the base, without being gourmand. The sesame had a blonde roast aspect and the oud plays off of that to bring this almost savory, salty nutty butter feel to counter the sweet dripping honeycomb. Yes, it's a tobacco honey, but it wears like no other tobacco honey I've worn before. The effect is sweet, but also a bit toasty and savory. The anise and clove provide a touch of darker almost medicinal spice.

This is a tobacco honey masterpiece. Yes, I'm a guerlain fan and yes I have most of the l'art and matiere collection. This is a standout, possibly even the last word in tobacco honey frags. My humble opinion of course.

People will give this fragrance a 3 rating because it's Guerlain and it isn't a 90 year old classic and because it is expensive. Irrelevant. It's incredible.

Get a sample and wear it. Then judge.

The performance and projection are massive.

This is up there with tonka imperiale, oellet poupre, angelique noire, and neroli outrenoir as my favorite Guerlains.

Sensual, woody tobacco has come to mingle with opulent, sweet honey

I've tested Tobacco Honey two times at Holt Renfrew, always at the edge of going for a full bottle then finally backing out at the last moment. Why? Because before Tobacco Honey, I've never loved ANY fragrances containing notes of tobacco (also I strongly dislike leather, suede and alcoholic beverage notes, but that's another story). With this one... I was still hesitating. I love, love this fragrance, but I wasn't sure my hometown was ready for it and I wasn't sure I could pull it off. Thankfully, I spotted a 10ml official small dabber bottle on a fragrance group marketplace and decided to go for it so I could finally make up my mind. Here goes my review!

Guerlain definitely knows how to use honey in its products. I mean... They've made the bee their emblem and have a complete skincare line dedicated to the power of honey. I was expecting as much from them (and even more). Gotta say, they definitely exceeded my expectations. Honey is raw, golden nectar, straight from the beehive, not quite unlike Bee. It's precious, sweet, with an animalic undertone, thick on the skin as it wafts through the air. Tobacco follows with its deep, profound, sensual woodiness. A bit dry, but not too much. The other notes act as support. Tonka bean and vanilla work their magic as they unite to provide an amazing sweetness that pairs well with everything. Anisseed, clove and sesame give a "grainy", earthy and organic aspect while oud provides this oriental, animalic accord. Sandalwood is at its creamiest, elevating honey and tobacco to new heights. If the beginning is a bit loud and a statement in itself, as time passses, the fragrance mellows out a bit more and smoothens itself. Woody, creamy and sweetness blend themselves well together on my skin until the very end.

Tobacco and honey: a play between light and darkness. A scent I see myself burying into during the colder months. Winter might even be the best month to wear this fragrance as its heaviness does not make it suitable for warmer weather. It's got so much depth and complexity...

EDIT: Never thought tobacco would be a note I'd wear, but here I am: I finally went for a full bottle. It's sufficiently different from the rest of my collection, stayed in the back of my mind even after buying the dabber and I thought: if I love it, why not get it? My collection is supposed to be made of fragrances that wow me or that I see as art and this one falls into both categories. Which is what decided me into getting a full bottle finally!

King Of Honey

Like the rest of the Guerlain Private line this is top of the mountain quality. Expensive as hell, but they smell some of the best in their respective categories. From: Vanilla, to florals, Musk, fruits and Vetiver. They all smell super high quality or photorealistic. If you like Sweeter stuff I recommend just smelling this line at a store to experience the quality.

Now Tobacco Honey is no different. Easily the best honey experience. Most honey scents either use honey in the background or too much that it overpowers the scent. This one is just right. It also has that golden depth that real honey has and the tobacco is well balanced. This also lasts an entire workday for me with moderate projection

People say this is a winter fragrance but I also found it great in the summer as well. Masterpiece

Essence of an Ordinary Fire

There are plenty sweet tobacco fragrance in the market.

Is Tobacco Honey just another one ???

Yes ...and no.

Tobacco Honey is not revolutionary. If you own...say... Diptyque Volutes, or that one from Hermes ... Ambre Narguiles. Speaking of Narguile and Diptyque, having the Narguile candle is almost like owning Tobacco Honey. Especially at Tobacco Honey price point.
P.S: There's a real fantastic under-the-radar and quite affordable sweet tobacco scent call Tobacco 1812 by West Third Brand that compete well with this.

However the standout of this fragrance lies in:
1.) Its throw or reach.
It's strong.

2.) It's theme.
This really evokes the nicotine in tobacco. This is a very realistic cigarette, but a pleasant one.
Tobacco Honey almost nail incineration--like the smoke from Canadian Fire.

3.) There is the essence of Guerlain sweetness in it, that only ...well ...Guerlain does.
No I wouldn't really compare it to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. Tobacco Vanille may not be better, but it was original, and ironically this Guerlain is holding a candle to Tom Ford.
Actually when I gets to thinking about it...Guerlain should have release this years ago. ...but what we have today really is remarkable, especially if you haven't experienced it elsewhere.
