Miel de Sauvage et Tabac

Of all the perfumes I have tried from Alkemia, Miel de Sauvage et Tabac is my favorite. I get mega honey and tobacco, but not the cigarette smoke type tobacco. This is the kind of tobacco smell I remember from my grandfather who smoked a pipe. Nothing smelled better than when he opened up his pouch to fill his pipe out on the porch. I absolutely adore this perfume. The honey is extremely realistic, but the tobacco gives it depth so it isn't just a sweet scent. I have worn this fragrance to work often, and I have never had a negative response. One of my managers told me that I smelled like a coffee shop though. Lol. I put a smudge on my wrists and then a smudge above my ears in the hairline so that I can smell it all day. The longevity is amazing. It lasts all day until I take a shower the next. I can wear this perfume easily as a woman, but a man can as well. My husband wanted to try it, and it is much deeper and spicier on him than it is on me. He told me that I should give it to him. Ha! Fat Chance! My bottle is almost empty, and I told my husband that a new bottle would make a perfect Valentine's Day Gift.

Miel de Sauvage et Tabac is the second fragrance I've tried by Alkemia. It is an intoxicating beauty.... I was having a glass of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey Whiskey the other night. One reason I enjoy it is because the aroma is so amazing. So I was thinking about how great it would be to have a perfume that captured the warm, spiced sweetness of the honey whiskey. Well... here is Miel de Sauvage et Tabac! This is all warm honey with cold moist note of tobacco. If you ever knew anyone who kept their cigarettes in the refrigerator, you know what I mean. I find it to be very unisex. It's too sweet and ethereal to be truly masculine. It is beautifully dark and alluring. It also makes me wonder how they created such a true, golden honey to mix with the black amber and tobacco. What a lovely mystery. Here is the description from Alkemia: Sweet pipe tobacco, wild honey, crushed honeycomb, forest blossoms, and smoked black amber. Warm. Dark. Golden. Luminous. Untamed.

This one is tied with Gateau des Rois for strongest Alkemia perfume I've tried. It is so potent and easy to overdo, especially since it is a heavy scent already. For once, a perfumer's description is right on: Warm. Dark. Golden. Luminous. Untamed perfectly describes MdSeT. Dense, sweet, dark unburned tobacco and thick, golden, syrupy honey accented with barely-perceptible musky resin. Some of the best honey I've tried actually. The scent does feel warm, in that wearing it makes you feel just a bit hotter. Almost smoldering. Excellent scent, a must-try for honey and tobacco lovers. I know that combo is not uncommon, but Alkemia does that combo uncommonly well.

I am ordering my second bottle and praying this never gets discontinued. The blend of honey and tobacco is so lush and warm it staves off the brutal wind of the Irish winters. It is a bold choice and not for the meek. The beeswax note does a great job of smoothing out the two main notes but in no way compromises them. I am unsure whether this fragrance would work in warm tropical weather but it is perfect for Ireland!

In the bottle: Intense honey and amber notes - almost spicily so. On my skin: The honey is bright, warm, and sooooo strong. The tobacco comes out to play really quickly, the scent lasts an exceptionally long time and the sillage is very high. This scent is a huge turn-on for my partner when I wear it!

Pure raw honey poured over fresh pipe tobacco. Amazingly realistic! One of the best tobacco's I've ever smelled. It's wonderful in the autumn. Excellent projection and lasts all day. Highly recommended!

Masterpiece. I love love the honey/tobacco !!! The notes are accurate...great projection/longevity. Addictive scent...gourmond... I own the rollerball and 1 oz spray. Fantastic...."different" scent.

Very sweet honey more towards the floral kind of honey, with an even more intense beeswax giving this a slightly musky and very realistic, almost smoky feel. Together with the tobacco that is sweet and smoky, I've always been fascinated by how sweet and nice tobacco smells..., these notes fit together perfectly. This could very well have rum in it as well, or maybe tonka beans or a bit of cinnamon. Can be too strong for some, but if you like any of the notes, you will not be disappointed. Nice for all genders. One of my absolute favourites, not only by Alkemia but period!

I really loved the first hour of this. Intensely sweet, a bit spicy, and herbaly earthiness from the tobacco. It dries down to be more animal/dirty, warmer, and even earthier with sweetness out the door. I really enjoy it but the dry down gets too dry for my personal tastes. I do think this would wear better on a man. 7.5/10

This perfume oil is true to its name. It definitely smells like honey and tobacco. This is a heavier scent and a little goes a long way and I'm sure my bottle will last a long time. This also layers beautifully with woody/piney scents. It is unisex, the tobacco tames the sweetness a bit.

This has some commonalities with Alkemia Exotique. If you like that one, you'll like this one, and vice versa. The honey and tobacco notes are, of course, the most prominent here. They are strong, rich, and deep. This is a deep, dark, sexy perfume.

The honey is very strong in this. The tobacco gives a roasted almost caramelised note to the honey. There is also a undercurrent of a spice like nutmeg or mace.

Kind of skanky, but I liked this one. Very honey and tobacco, but mostly honey. Reminds me strongly of Volutes edt.

Miel de Sauvage et Tabac is the second scent I have tried from Alkemia. I’m getting a linear, sickly sweet tobacco scent, but this is the opposite of easy to wear. In fact, the longer I wore it the more nauseous it made me. To be fair, on occasion tobacco scents can turn south on me. But even my husband, a former cigarette smoker, did not like it (and he still loves the smell of tobacco). Too much honey, too much sweetness. A little dab was very potent so go light application. I’m running away from this now.

Smells as titled. "Wild Honey and Tobacco". Yes thick raw honey, and natural tobacco leaves. It's animalic, dirty, and crazy potent. Even handling the bottle without opening it I got the scent lingering on my fingers. Placing objects next to the bottle had them scented of MdSeT. The first time I wore it my entire family said they hated it and it smelled bad, I wear a variety of things but they never reacted like that. I'll admit it doesn't smell like a "perfume." I thought it smelled wonderful, but honey is one of my favorite notes, and the tobacco is like a really nice sweet (not tarry harsh) cigar. Smells like the tobacco leaves itself and a little bit like the smoke. I loved the combination in this perfume, very bold. I can see their perspective though, if I wasn't into perfume or didn't know this was what someone was wearing I can see how it smells like unshowered smoker. Given how dirty and unusual it smells, and how strong it is, I regretfully had to get rid of this perfume. No point in me keeping something I would be too shy to wear out. It was one of my favorite perfumes, but definitely not one of Alkemia's wearable options. I'd be curious if it would be more easily pulled off by a more masculine type of person.

Honey, candy apple, tobacco, and best of all that elusive note of beeswax. Beeswax is animalic and actually a bit smelly, in a good way, not obviously pretty. Beeswax candle smell. "Sauvage" in the truest sense. It's not honey AND tobacco; it's more the notes shared by honey and tobacco, the overlap between honey and tobacco. This fragrance smells unfinished and raw, not like a perfume. It messes with my mind by causing a submerged memory to bob near the surface...something happy, but it's unclear what. Smells so familiar. Longevity is great because this is an oil. Sillage is huge at first, then settles to a very long lasting personal space scent (the best kind of performance). Beautiful but not for everyone; almost unwearable. Hey, no one will complain about your perfume when you wear this because this does not smell like perfume at all. Huge love! Very habit forming.

On me this has huge sillage and longevity! It smells like sticky, sweet tobacco and golden honey. I agree that it is too sweet to be masculine but could be considered unisex. The honey is not heady or floral, just straight gourmand like you've poured it out of the little plastic bear and onto your skin. This is my ideal honey scent.

Not the most natural smelling honey, but at least it doesn't smell like pee. Imagine mixing a bit of mead with even more honey, a few tablespoons of sugar, a broken Swisher Sweet, a few drops of synyhetic honey fragrance oil and using it as a sugar scrub to exfoliate your whole body and you've got jist of it. Sticky and sweet.

Honey, honey, honey. One more time, just for good measure—honey. The tobacco note, though present, plays second fiddle to that one delicious, tenacious and uncompromising note. I love it: If you don’t love honey, you won’t. Longevity: 10/10 Projection: Same.

Love at first sniff! Warm, gooey honey over fresh tobacco in the pouch. I don't see cherry or almond listed but get both notes. Been looking for a cherry pipe tobacco scent for a long time. So glad to have found this...ordering a back up already.
