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.
10/10
