Tobacco Honey

After a stretch of darker woods and smoky resins, today feels like the right moment to pivot into something richer and more indulgent. With Tobacco Honey, Guerlain leans into decadence in a way that feels both classical and modern at once, pairing golden sweetness with depth and shadow rather than lightness and ease. On paper, the combination reads bold: dense honey, spice, tobacco, and woods, a structure that suggests warmth, weight, and presence from the very first spray. This is not the kind of fragrance that aims to be subtle or fleeting. It promises richness, texture, and a certain unapologetic opulence that Guerlain has long been known for. Let’s see how this honeyed tobacco unfolds on skin, and whether it smolders or simply simmers. Opening: The opening is sweet, warm, and spicy. The primary notes I get are honey, tobacco, cloves, and anise, with honey and tobacco clearly taking the lead. The honey arrives thick, golden, and immediately enveloping. It smells dense and syrupy rather than airy or floral, carrying a slightly animalic undertone that gives it a photo-realistic quality. There is a natural warmth to it, occasionally waxy, reminiscent of honeycomb rather than refined sugar. It calls to mind the honey in Bee from Zoologist, though dialed back slightly in intensity. If Bee pushes the honey to its absolute limit, Tobacco Honey exercises just a touch more restraint. The tobacco joins quickly as warm, dry, and richly aromatic, smelling like cured tobacco leaf rather than smoke. There is a natural sweetness woven into the leaf itself, creating a sweet yet structured core alongside the honey that feels indulgent without becoming sticky. The character of the tobacco is very reminiscent of the premium cigar filler tone found in Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille, and the honey-tobacco pairing strongly evokes the atmosphere of Kilian's Back to Black. Clove adds warmth and structure, presenting as dry, gently biting, and slightly woody. It carries a faint medicinal edge, but remains controlled, cutting through the density of the honey and preventing the opening from becoming overly syrupy. Anise rounds out the composition as subtly sweet and warmly aromatic, with a soft licorice-like character. It does not read candy-like, but instead feels smooth and slightly herbal, adding nuance beneath the other notes and reinforcing the warmth rather than contrasting it. Dry Down: The dry down is sweet, warm, and softly powdery. The primary notes I get are honey, tobacco, vanilla, and tonka, with honey and tobacco remaining firmly at the center. Both retain their warm, sweet character with very little drop off, though they feel slightly more rounded and less forceful than in the opening. The most noticeable shift comes from the emergence of vanilla and tonka. The vanilla reads creamy and smooth, adding a velvety sweetness that softens the sharper edges of clove and tobacco without turning overtly gourmand. Tonka follows with a nutty, almond-like sweetness and faint coumarinic warmth that enhances the richness of the composition. There is still a trace of clove lingering in the background, but it no longer drives the structure. As the vanilla and tonka settle in, the fragrance leans closer to the territory of Tobacco Vanille in the dry down, while the opening more closely mirrors the honeyed richness of Back to Black. Performance: In the first hour, projection is powerful and easily capable of filling a room, immediately asserting its presence. Sillage matches that intensity with a dense, noticeable trail. After a few hours, projection remains strong, extending several feet from the wearer, while the trail softens slightly but stays clearly perceptible. Around the seven to eight hour mark, projection settles closer to three to four feet, with the scent trail becoming lighter yet still present. It transitions into a skin scent around the ten to eleven hour point. Taken as a whole, Tobacco Honey delivers impressive longevity and strong projection that comfortably supports its rich scent profile. When to Wear: Tobacco Honey is firmly positioned as a fall and winter evening fragrance, thriving in cooler air where its density and warmth can fully develop. It feels especially suited for special occasions, whether that be a date night, anniversary dinner, or any setting where you want to project warmth and quiet opulence. The honeyed tobacco character draws people inward rather than pushing outward, making it ideal for intimate yet refined settings. It can work in formal environments if applied with restraint, but it is not a fragrance meant for casual daytime errands or office wear, where its richness could easily become overwhelming. This is a scent best worn intentionally, when the mood and setting call for something enveloping and indulgent. Blind Buy: Tobacco Honey is crafted for genuine lovers of sweet tobacco fragrances and leans unapologetically into that profile. If you already enjoy fragrances such as Back to Black or Tobacco Vanille, this scent will likely feel immediately familiar and comfortable, perhaps even luxurious in its refinement. However, it is rich, dense, and assertive, and will not appeal to those who shy away from bold sweetness or tobacco-forward compositions. Given both its intensity and its premium price point, sampling is strongly recommended unless you are already deeply invested in this genre. Final Verdict: I approached Tobacco Honey with high expectations, especially given its reputation alongside other Guerlain standouts like Spiritueuse Double Vanille or Herbes Troublantes. After wearing it, I can confidently say it is masterfully composed, beautifully blended, and undeniably luxurious. The honey is dense yet controlled, the tobacco realistic and refined, and the dry down smooth and cohesive. However, it ultimately runs into two obstacles for me: price and redundancy. At $445 for 100ml, it commands a premium that demands something groundbreaking. While exquisitely executed, the scent profile overlaps heavily with Back to Black and Tobacco Vanille, both of which offer comparable quality at a lower cost. If I did not already own Back to Black and have Tobacco Vanille on my acquisition list, Tobacco Honey would be far more compelling. As it stands, I deeply enjoyed the experience, but it does not offer enough distinction to justify adding it to my collection at this time.

Incredible. Simply incredible evocative work. This is the smell of your sweetheart hair, in the sun...smelling of honey. The smell of an hay camp, full of chamomile, peaceful....something beautiful happened there. This is the smell of a warm, spicy honey infusion drinked in the comfort of home, in the quite arms of your lover. It is incredible to me because it is that evocative. It surely has an artistic, niche aura about it. I was expecting something more masculine and en vogue instead it is artistic and full of intresting facets. Opening is warm, very warm and intense, this tabacco is slightly dry, blonde and not boozy or cherry tinged. It is smothered in yellow honey, not sticky or sugary but intense, warm, as if liquefied on a flame, it sits in between a raw sweetness and something slightly animalic. There is no urinal component in this honey, no indoles either but there is something incredibly carnal. The spicy undertone of clover tinges the tabacco, there is something reminiscent of hay and even of chamomile. Anise, sesame and tonka bean are blended to perfection, and dosed to perfection. Their blend is seductive, but the result still reassuring. I like this use of sesame note a lot, seedy maybe but also powdery, lending consistency to the fragrance (no gourmand stickiness for me about this sesame). The evolution is calm and steady, honey fading in to tonka but never disappearing. Then there is a sea of vanilla, high quality for sure, and like the honey it is a type of vanilla that smells very refined and unique. All of this lives on a base of clean and creamy oud, intense but balanced, mixed in with a strong ambery base. I think it is an unisex fragrance, the mood is relaxing for sure but invested of a peculiar sensuality. The sensuality of intimacy. It is the fragrance that surprised me the most in the new autumnal realise I choose to explore. Layered with Zara Spell Caramel it is the stuff of which autumnal fairytale are made. Lasting power and sillage are autstanding. Great fragrance for sure. It has a gourmand allure but it is not a gourmand, it is 10 times more refined then that.

If king Midas wore a fragrance, this would’ve probably been it. scent breakdown - Opens immediately with a toothsome and loud punch of thick golden honey lathered over spicy blonde tobacco leaves. Almost immediately, roasted warm spices like cinnamon, cloves, and a slight twinge of anise mix with the honey/tobacco mixture. In the dry down the honey takes a step back from the forerunning note to mingling equally with the tobacco, spices, and a slight woodiness. Additionally, the tobacco gets a twinge smokier and just really fills out the extremely golden and sweet edges. From this point it remains fairly linear until it wears off. personal thoughts - After smelling this in the Guerlain store in Paris right about its release, I knew I had to eventually add it to the collection. I’m a huge sucker for sweet tobaccos, and the smell of honey is one of the most narcotic things to me; so the combo of the two done in the smooth Guerlain way is so so amazing. Was so happy to get this during the holiday season and I’ve already worn it 12+ times which means a lot when you get to a collection of my size (helps that my gf loves it). A little too heavy, sweet, and thick to pull this off outside of cool evenings. If you’ve ever wanted to smell like you’re smoking a light cigar with a glass of richly spiced mead, this might be a good choice. performance - Extremely strong performance and projection of 10-16ish hours with strong projection for the first 2-4 depending on heat and personal chemistry. Will last literal weeks on clothes. rating - 10/10 when to wear - Jazz club dates; smoking stogies and drinking cognac with friends; anytime you’re feeling good as gold song vibe - Gold by Prince TLDR - Sweet & Heady Honey + Blonde, Earthy Tobacco + Roasted Warm Spices + Nondescript Woods. Easily one of the best honey fragrances on the market today and a really smooth & special addition into the oversaturated market of sweet, spicy pipe tobacco frags most fragheads are familiar with. Super sultry, warm, and delicious, and a must try for honey and/or sweet tobacco fragrance fans.

When I wear Tobacco Honey, so do my neighbors. Okay, well, not really. But it IS super strong. And it lasts forever. I sprayed this on a test strip yesterday and I swear it smells stronger right now than it did eighteen hours ago. It's powdery yet dense, more floral and sweet than it is oud-y. I agree it's not really a summer fragrance-- I wore it a lot in the winter but I actually haven't reached for it a single time in hot weather. Even so, Tobacco Honey is not an amber in any way. I love labdanum but I don't detect any here. This is addictive and attractive but it isn't a "come snuggle with me" scent. It's just soooo pretty. Tobacco Honey grew on me slowly. The L'Art & La Matiere collection is more misses than hits for me, but this one was different. I went from getting a small decant, to buying a mini, to finally selling a kidney and buying a full bottle directly from Guerlain. (There are a lot of fake TH bottles out there, and before I bought one directly from Guerlain I bought one of the fakes on another website. It looked real enough! But when I put that bottle on my countertop it actually rocked back and forth... among other things. Needless to say, I returned it.) Tobacco Honey is completely unique. I have a bottle of Bee and they are not the same. They have a note in common but that's it. Both are great but they are vastly different experiences. TL; DR: Tobacco Honey is a 9.8/10 for me, in my top 5 of all time, and I will always have it in my collection. I love it. And probably the moment I hit "submit" on this review Guerlain will reformulate it or discontinue it lol

When I first tried this fragrance, I absolutely loved it. But I was like .. man, I really really love this one, but at the same time it's pretty simple and doesn't evolve. Naxos on the other hand is a tobacco honey fragrance that evolves, has multiple facets, yet costs way less. But as time goes by, I start to value that simplicity and that "raw" aspect of the fragrance. Since I've tried this perfume, I've tried to get a similar honey feel in other fragrances. But I can't. The honey in this is impossible to get anywhere else (from my experience). Now I know the reason why it's so unique, raw, and true. It's because it's actual honey. According the Thierry Wasser, this is the first time ever real honey was used in a scent (the volatile molecules), with their other fragrance called Nerolia Vetiver. This is why this smells so much like real honey and why you can't find this smell anywhere else. And probably the reason why there's no clone of this and never will be (most likely). It is for sure very expensive. The price/ml of the 100ml is very high, it goes way lower in the 200ml bottle. The performance of this is absolutely incredible. If you spray on tester cards, it'll stay for weeks on it, and it projects for weeks, perfuming the place you've put the cards in. Two sprays are more than enough for everyday use, so a 200ml bottle will last you a life time if you have a collection. After years of contemplating the fragrance, I think I'll soon just get a bottle. I'll write a full review after that.

This is the fastest scent upon initial spray that jumped straight into my top 5. Usually, one would have to wait and wear it all day to know, but this is one of those scents that tells you exactly how things are going to be from the initial spray. Upon initial spray, i was hit with a blast of tobacco and honey, mixed with something slightly dry and deliciously edible that seems to balance all the sweetness from the honey. I'm 100% positive it's the sesame seeds and my god it adds so much complexity and balance to the scent. The honey in the beginning smells like it's in a constant motion, with something "dark" and edible, which seems to also reinforce a very well behaved smoky tobacco accord. Just amazing stuff. After around 3 hours, the darkness from the sesame lifts, the honey becomes clearer and a stunning creamy sandalwood accord appears. Everything blends smoothly together. It makes you want to dig in with your nose to discover the complexity. In the late drydown (end of the day), this is when the entire scent becomes simply true to its name: Tobacco and Honey. Of course by this stage, everything "simmers" and the smell becomes a straightforward tobacco and mildly sweet honey scent. Longevity is easily 24 hours on my skin with a thick rich cloud bubble radiating around me. Nothing obnoxious, just a perfect bubble. I'm sad it took me so long to discover this masterpiece. Thank you Guerlain.

Alright after testing it for 2 days I can say this is amazing. The name is correct it’s all about honey and tobacco. Altough the tobacco is not so screechy this is pure unisex. The opening is the most beautiful and most realistic honey, like you can eat it right away! So gorgeous, intense and fresh honey, the bee on their logo is justified now! There we go the mid.. tobacco comes alive, smokey, dry tobacco leaves packed in smoothened vanilla.. the more hours pass the more the vanilla shows up and the tobacco takes a back seat. It never fades, but it’s calming down.. like I said this is unisex and I’m glad it is. In the very drydown the vanilla fades away and there you are left with some sweet honeyed tobacco on a sandalwood base. There is some oud, specially in the beginning you can get some of it, but it really doesn’t dominate it’s just there to give the smokey, and deep effect of the honey and tobacco. 10/10 for me as I love tobacco. Comparison.. tobacco vanille is correct but it’s fortunately not so sickly sweet nor synthetic. Tobacolor.. don’t think so that’s a extreme smell of ash tobacco and caramel sugar candies.. Conclusion i love it, and can’t wait for the fall or winter. It projects heavily specially the first hours so be aware and sticks extremely on the clothes. Not original, but very very smooth.. you won’t find a better honey tobacco fragrance

Guerlain's Tobacco Honey OR IS IT? So I have several tobacco fragrances - some range from super strong and some just a touch of tobacco. This is definitely an AWESOME Fragrance, but I would say Guerlain's Tobacco Honey should be renamed to: Guerlain's Honey Vanilla Tobacco...in that order. It is Amazing and these words come to mind every time I put it on: SWEET. THICK. SYRUPY. And that is mainly from the Honey. This fragrance could even named DOUBLE HONEY (since Guerlain also offers a Double Vanille). YES! That is what I would call it...DOUBLE HONEY...Perhaps... DOUBLE HONEY VANILLE... So where is the tobacco? Its there...kind of...lingering ever so slightly. It's definitely NOT like you are sitting next to Churchill, Capone, Arnold or Tony Montana from Scarface smoking a Big Ring "Gordo"...Nope - the tobacco is slight and ever so gentle - like a puff. So if you want SWEET, THICK and SYRUPY and YOU LOVE HONEY with a dose of Vanilla and and touch of tobacco AND You like a solid projection AND You have $500 on 200ML (Yes I like to buy 200ML when I'm in Duty Free or $300 for 100ML) THEN GO FOR IT! SMELL LIKE DOUBLE HONEY!! Treat Yourself to something sweet and feel good about it - because... YOU ARE WORTH IT! Bravo Guerlain and Delphine Jelk...Bravo! What an expensive yet amazing smelling fragrance!

Today I got my personalized bottle of Tobacco Honey (with the full white-box-Guerlain experience). I've been wearing samples for couple of months just to make sure that my obsession with this perfume is real. Well...for me Tobacco Honey is a slow-burning memory in a bottle. The scent is warm, seductive and rich. It unfurls in velvety ribbons of perfectly sundried- sunkissed tobacco leafs (have you ever smelled a perfect Cuban cigar?) sweetened by clover honey. On my skin it changes back and forth from opulent tobacco to sweet pure honey with cloves. Wearing it is like stepping into a forgotten olfactory memory where every image clings to the air long after you leave the room. This is a very distinct scent that is NOT for everyone. You have to love it to spend the money. For me - totally worth it. It is my zen scent that makes me happy. Upd: Still my favorite, signature scent. But, I want to discourage people from buying it directly from Guerlain. If you want customer service- go to one of the luxury resellers. I sent a request to change something in my order 5 min after placing it. I got a reply MORE than a month later with, sorry we can't accommodate it's too late. I seriously expected better level of service at $500 price point.

I got a sample of this with a recent purchase from Guerlain, and I AM IN LOVE. Holy sexy! I didn't know I loved tobacco so much, because I personally disliked the TF tobacco vanilla-- but here we are. It is immediately yummy upon first spray. Warm and mellow and sweet-- but not TOO sweet. Then as it mixed with my skin, it just got sexier and softer. I kept thinking I bet Charlie Hunnam or some other delicious man's neck smells like this (lol). So, to me, it is unisex but leans more male... But that's *also* why I think it works on the right woman. I think you have to be a confident sort of earthy vibe to carry it off. A woman who knows she's something, a Lauren Bacall type. Also, unlike the Allegoria line (which I love), this one LASTS. I sprayed it on both myself and my husband at bedtime, and it was still there this morning on the skin! Softened and warm. ++++++++++++++++ Just got my first full size for our 29th Anniversary! Every single thing, from the packaging to the personalized bottle to the rich color of the juice-- is perfect. I've had a sample for a bit, and every single time I wear it, I get compliments from men AND women. I'll wear this forever, as long as they keep making it. IN LOVE

One the most accurate scents, it delivers what it says, Honey in the purest form, however i don't really feel the Tobacco until the second hour, on the third it becomes deeper like a dried down leaf immersed in dark Honey, It has a wonderful dark tone, it retains the sweetness but is done so well that is like a Honey solid entity, but in a extration form. - Is a solid and linear scent that goes from a great nectar honey opening to a darker one attached to the skin, I think the mastery here is to have such a photorealistic honey that stays so stable and strong on you, that isn't boring, and that make sense on the skin, I consider this more of a skin scent, but a top notch one, it stays for hours and hours on you, it is quite impressive. This is the very first porfume that is coming from a unique extration done by Guerlain of real honey and it shows, After sometime with it, i realised that the Tobacco is inside the Honey, they are the same entity, the more you wear it, the more you realise how it works, i have to admit that is such a well balanced and stable work of art. If you like Honey and dry Tobacco, this is it. I am confident i don't need any other Honey scents other than this.

Another surprise from Mlle Jelk that I quickly passed over when it first launched... I sprayed it on a blotter and gave it a sniff and dismissed it as cloyingly sweet and nothing I would wear in the tropical heat where I live... Fast forward like 18 months and a great friend GIFTED me this and I held onto it (sealed and unopened) for more than a couple of MONTHS... Finally one night I just tore it open and tried it on... I should know by now that this isn't news to ANYONE (least of all me) but it didn't even RESEMBLE what I remembered from the blotter card... This stuff is absolutely majestic... People compare it to the obvious Tom Ford except this is soooooo much better than that.... The depth of it is almost beyond measure... It's so damn rich and sexy... It's NOT cloying at all, though it has incredible performance: both projection but especially longevity.... More than ten to twelve hours on my wrists without question... It's not screechy, synthetic or annoying in any way... I am so impressed with this.... I would advise anyone to try this on your skin even if it is not something you would normally gravitate towards... It's fantastic.

I’ve fallen in a pot of honey and I can’t get out. The honey is thick, golden, and photorealistic, but not like anything you’d find in a supermarket jar. This feels raw, as though it were taken straight from the hive. If you’ve ever spent any time around bees, you’ll know that fresh, unpasteurised honey has an almost medicinal, herbal quality to it. It’s waxy and floral, as though you can detect the pollen from the flowers that served the bees during its production. The purest honey can even come across a little animalic, but less so here. Instead, it’s heady and resinous, in a way that reminds you this is a perfume, not that you’ve fallen face-first into a hive. I find myself searching for the tobacco leaf, warm spices, and woods that might lend it depth and character, transforming an otherwise simple indulgence into something more compelling. Search as I may, there is no doubting that this is first and foremost a honey perfume, with everything else taking a back seat. As it settles, the florals become more apparent, and they are absolutely key to preventing the composition from collapsing into a big sticky mess.

Oh! My! God! I'm speechless. This is honey heaven. This is like honey on some sort of drug trip. It's the honey-est honey that I have ever encountered. I don't care for the lovely tobacco note, which is also there, because I'm completely distracted by the honey. I want to eat it. I want to have a bath in this. I want to pour it all over my body. I'm obsessed beyond believe. Wow, wow, wow! It's extremely strong. I tested several perfumes (about 20-25) on this day, took all the tester slips back home and this was the only one which smelled extremely strong when I came back home (after about 3 hours). All the other were faint, without being faint perfumes. But in comparison to this beast even the ouds took a backseat. It's 8 hours in, all the other paper slips have almost lost their scents completely, but this beast is still going. It's honey, honey and honey. So if I will ever wear this I have to be careful with application as this a total beast. It's unbelievable. If you like a good and powerful honey perfume then this the perfume you have waited for. Trust me. Try it! It's amazing! You'll be in honey heaven.

Ultra-refined sweet tobacco DNA, it is like Le Male Elixir+Tobacco Vanille. It is a familiar scent profile, but you really pay for the honey, and the tobacco and the funky oud that lukes in the backgroud- because you could LITERALLY smell them. The 10 seconds of the opening has most realistic honey scent. Then the tobacco comes in. Imagine the tobacco in TF Tobacco Vanille but with dripping of real warm honey. The oud comes out soon after, providing deep animalic stickiness to the honey and tobacco. It is warm, warm like an AROMA of sweet honey in a hot boiling water of tobacco leaves, which stands out from many cold gourmand fragrances. Guerlain Tobacco Honey smells alive. It is surely strong in the summer, but in the winter it is perfectly projecting with 2-3 sprays, it is potent but a level below the beast mode like Amouage Interlude 53, MFK Oud Satin Mood Extrait, or Orto Parisi Terroni, and it is as long lasting. The tobacco stood out more on my skin than the honey. The bitter-saltiness of tobacco leaves is quiet prominent on my skin through out the wear.

This is, without a second of hesitation, my favorite fragrance in my collection. It has an incredibly addictive, hyper-realistic honey scent while also being an astonishing technical achievement. If you open a real jar of honey, it has almost no smell. Yet with this fragrance, there's absolutely no doubt that what you're smelling is honey—and I honestly have no idea how they managed to recreate it so convincingly. The performance is outstanding. It lasts for hours and projects exceptionally well. It's truly a masterpiece. It is very expensive, but I love it so much that it became the first fragrance in this price range that I bought without any hesitation. From time to time, the brand offers a 50 ml version on its website, which is the one I purchased. That's more than enough for a fragrance that's unmistakably made for winter and special occasions. If I had to pick the perfect fragrance to wear to Christmas dinner, this would be it.

Ok, so this is the first sweet scent that I really, really love! My god, this smells great! And realistic! Almost so much so that I am wondering if I am going to get all the vasps and bees coming for me if I wear it in the summertime?!?! On my skin, the honey is clearly the most prominent scent with a smooth blend of the other notes underneath. I am no expert at this, but this is just one of those stand-out scents where anyone can smell the quality! If you are into sweet tobacco scents, or even if you are not, you have to try this at least once! I am not really into the sweet scents, but this is just next level to my nose. TBH, everything I`ve smelled from Guerlain has given me a high-quality feeling. I just got it today, so this is just my first impression, but I am excited to wear it and try out some layering combos! This has to be a layering dream! As soon as my bitcoin goes up again, I am getting a "big-boy bottle" of this 😂

To me it’s the best tobacco fragrance and also the best honey fragrance ever. It’s a straight blast of honey, mild touch of cloves, and raw tobacco. It’s perfectly formulated by Jelk. To me it’s better than even Tobacco Vanille. What a stunning masterpiece fragrance and I don’t use that word often. I don’t think it’s overly sweet and nobody else in my life does either. Just don’t overspray it. It’s incredibly sexy and alluring to women. When I was wanting to add my first tobacco fragrance to my collection, I tried some of the most famous like Xerjoff Naxos, Amouage Royal Tobacco, TF Tobacco Vanille, Spicebomb Extreme, and PDM Herod. This was the one I thought was easily the best with Amouage following close behind. The price is very high but I have the 6.76 oz bottle and while I wish it was $200 less, I still don’t regret owning this. It’s easily a top 3 in my collection.

Reading reviews for this fragrance, I constantly see references to how this fragrance smells EXACTLY like pure honey...this actually isn’t an accurate summation to me...sure, the essence of honey is there, for sure, but what I get from this fragrance is a photorealistic mead scent...spicy, fermented honey beverage...oud descends upon the fragrance later to provide a fairly non-descript base I was actually “led” to this fragrance by way of Floris’ Honey Oud...which I really liked (also smelled like mead to me) until rose forced its way in the picture and dominated the composition...I wanted a fragrance that was Honey Oud without the rose...I found that in Tobacco Honey...strong performance...obviously pricey If you want true photorealistic honey, I’d pull for Hiram Green Slowdive or Zoologist Bee

This is a really beautiful honeyed tobacco smell, I've seen some people mention a foot smell to this and I don't get that at all! I will say I have a very limited frame of reference for tobacco, I remember sneaking my friend's dad's pipe tobacco as a teenager and smoking together huddled around a makeshift pipe trying to feel like adults, and this reminds me so much of how her bedroom smelled after we had smoked a bit and then reached for the Tennessee Honey. Probably a different scent experience for most people, but for me it's dreamy, nostalgic and slightly playful. Perfect performance and sillage on me, I haven't worn it out yet but I can easily smell it on myself throughout the day and if I put it on in the morning I can still smell it by the time I get ready for bed!

Smelt this in Liberty, London for the first time. UNMISTAKABLE HONEY, made my 12 year old brother whose only experience with fragrances is Nautica voyage give it a sniff and without wasting a single breath he goes "HONEY!". The tobacco isn't smokey and isn't trying to be the star, it's just there to anchor the honey and give it some earthiness. In my opinion this actually adds to the realism of honey and makes it more natural and not too sickly like other honey fragrances out there. The only downside-... The price... It does smell it but still doesn't make it any less painful to drop that kind of cash on scented water. If you think you need to sample this before buying it's actually quite easy (As long as you have a jar of honey at home). 10/10 Cold weather fragrance!

My goodness the price is painful. Is it a great fragrance? Absolutely, it's a banger! Does it last long, project, and turn heads? Yes, yes, and yes. Will you need to sell a kidney? Yes! Don't get me started on neroli plein sud which I love, love, love but my bank account does not. The whole l'art & matiere line is over the top with their pricing. Don't get me wrong, you are getting a top notch scent and worthy of purchase if that will be your ONLY scent. However, for a fan of fragrances and guerlain in particular (I have pretty much everything from Shalimar, habit rouge & Heritage etc to this masterpiece) it's extremely hard to justify the purchase...(Side note, after ranting above if it's not obvious I bought a bottle anyway...I have a problem).

I purchased this yesterday, I originally went in for Vanilla planifolia since it’s 20% off in Selfridges, but it just wasn’t pleasing to my nose ..nothing special and then I was pleasantly distracted by Tobacco Honey, it lingers on my skin. The honey is the strongest note to me, the tobacco almost acts as backbone think cigar room and its leather armchairs. I would say it does lean more masculine but for me it’s one of those frangrances that is just different like satin oud and angel share, very unique it’s not anything like something I already own so for my collection it’s the new kid on the block! As I was trying out so many scents yesterday I also sprayed this on my hoodie and it’s in the laundry hamper and the whole room smells of it.

Fell in love with this scent when Guerlain sent me a sample after ordering a repurchase of L'Instant. It is straight up what it sounds, the smooth tobacco takes second to the smoky honey as they immediately pull you in. I gifted to it my love and all the ladies he worked with couldn't stop asking why he smelled so good, this is the type of fragrance that turns your head when someone walks by with it on. Sophisticated scent, it just makes you smell handsome. One spray is enough, he has pulled sweaters out of the wash still smelling of Tobacco and Honey. Unfortunately I have never bought a full sized bottle of this because the price is absolutely outrageous, but honestly because of the sillage, mere samples will last you forever.

Rich, sexy, majestic, sweet, addictive. In simple terms, this is exactly what it says on the label in two words. Maybe more the other way around but still, there's nothing else quite like it. Probably more winter days or evenings than anything else, although I live in a hot country and wear it when I like. Projects and lasts the whole night. If you wear it during the day in the heat, you need to dress appropriately and not wear something like beachwear or people may think you're a psychopath. A fantastic iconic fragrance once again by Guerlain. Hugely expensive, depending on your idea of cost, but worth every single penny. Three back up bottles don't lie.

you could only smell the tobacco in the first hour or 30 mins, after that it becomes mainly honey, like really strong delicious honey, as if you just smeared real honey all over urself. but for some reason, the tobacco turned into this weird smell, idk how to describe it but it smells like spit? or saliva lmfao. suuuuper long-lasting. i sprayed it on my wrist yesterday at 6pm, went home, showered, and went to sleep. it is now 9:40am and i can still smell it on my wrist (only the honey note.. everything else faded after an hour). tbh the price tag is too crazy for me to ever own a bottle of this even though i'm such a ***** for honey notes lol

Oh. My. God. This stuff, I truly have no words. Le male elixir (absolute dog shit of a fragrance) and Naxos have nothing on this. Comparing Tobacco Honey to either one of those is an insult, and I really mean it. Starts off smelling like the feeling of eating a spoonful of honey when you are sick. Rich, smooth and well, honey, literally a photorealistic note. I am surprised. Then it dries down to this beautiful blend of honey and tobac, I can't get enough!!! It is truly amazing and I recommend everyone to try this at least once. It lasts daysssssss on clothes, 10-12 on skin, and projects beautifully. Masterpiece fragrance. 9.1/10

So I smelled it on a strip, smelled like straight up honey, I blinded bought it cause it was on sale and I was ready to return it. Next day I put on some scented lotion, Naturium body butter and gave tobacco honey a try. It actually smells better. I was convinced to keep it. It doesnt give me the original smell that made me want to return it but smelling it on my skin on top of lotion I actually like it. Im getting a smoother blend, not as much honey as the initial smell, like a SMALLLL hint of tobacco im not even sure if its there. Its a warm scent with some spices. This has some potential

I am convinced half of the people in here have no clue what synthetic even means. Maybe my guess is you definitely didn't have your nose on this but some terrible clone. Anyway, this is the most natural smelling honey accord I have ever smelled in perfumery. Fairly straightforward honey and a dry natural tobacco, no hint of oud to my nose and faint vanilla at the base. Very strong sillage and longevity especially on clothing is eternal. The quality is top notch here and despite being linear it's an all time great from the best house in the business. No hesitation even at this price point.

I went perfume shopping with a long time friend today, and while I wanted to smell Cuir Béluga, he picked Tobacco Honey up and put it on a tester. It smelled so good I urged him to put it on his wrist. I kept on asking him to give me his wrist so I could smell this beautiful fragrance. The honey note is spectacular and extremely realistic, but absolutely not cloying to me. There's something darker in there, the tobacco is definitely playing its part. After 1-2 hours of walking in the sun, the fragrance mixed with his sweat made me kinda feral. Would recommend.

I smelled a sample of this at the Guerlain store in the Bellagio in Vegas while on vacation and could not stop thinking about it. I went back to the store and bought a full bottle, and I think this is my new fav perfume. It is expensive, $445 for a bottle of perfume is nuts; def a birthday gift to myself. But it is so well blended, so elegant, and it lasts forever. I tend to go nose blind quickly, but not wth this. I want to smell my perfume, I don't care if others do; I want to smell it, and with this stuff, I smell it all day. LOVE.

Guerlain Tobacco Honey is heavenly. I'm a cigar guy and I love the high end cigars. This smells like a fresh out of the humidor Davidoff cigar drenched in perfectly raw ambery honey. The tobacco is so addictive and the honey is sublimely sweet but never cloying. The spices, vanilla, and oud all come through. This may be focused on two notes, but it's not two dimensional or linear. It's blended so well, it's so smooth and performance wise? It is a powerhouse! Get your nose on this if you can. The scent really is extraordinary.

This stuff surprised me. At first spray, you get this smooth tobacco that’s warm and slightly sweet, but not in a cheap way. The honey comes in quick, balancing it out and making it feel rich instead of sticky. As it dries down, there’s this cozy amber vibe with a little woodiness that makes it feel expensive and effortless at the same time. It’s sweet, but grown-up sweet not candy. Longevity’s solid too; I kept catching whiffs hours later. Honestly, it’s one of those scents that feels dressed up without trying too hard.

A great sweet honey to balance out a controlled yet dark, deep oud. It's not too sweet to ignore the oud, and not too farty-oud to make the honey moot. all the while the two main elements are tugging along, a hint of vanilla is --sometimes-- noticeable coming and going in waves, making each time you go back to smell it be both familiar, and just as intriguing as the first time, because it feels new over and over. The entire fragrance series is stupidly overpriced, but this one is a winner.

This blew me away. I usually HATE a tobacco note. I never thought I’d even like any tobacco-forward fragrances, let alone fall head over heels in love with one. It’s just so well balanced with this thick, gorgeous, golden honey note it manages to be both cozy and addictive. The perfect winter fragrance, dark and sexy but super chic... you just want to keep smelling it, which fortunately you do ‘cause it lasts forever on skin and has great projection. Can’t wait to get my full bottle of it.

I sampled and absolutely loved it. Yes, I get all the tobacco and honey. I purchased the 3.4 bottle... I really should've just gotten the smaller one. I've worn it and although I do love it, I find that it leans more masculine. I want to add another note to it, not to take anything away from it, but to add a bit of femininity, I just don't what. That said, it's very polarizing, so no heavy spraying or folks will pass out around you. I think the bottle will last me the rest of my life. lol

I like this a lot. Its honey forward definitely. However I can't justify the price tag when there exists Zaharoff Signature Tabac which in my opinion is superior (for men at least, still gourmand but tobacco forward with less honey which is still quite notable, but as said, its quiet). Definitely a completely different DNA than Royal Tobacco from Amouage, which is very tobacco heavy. I'd say if I can find 100ml for around 200$, I'd consider buying it, but at retail, no.

The drydown is the most gorgeous smoked syrupy vanilla. However, the ride to get there is rough. The opening is quite literally aggravated battery by means of strangulation with the use of clove. Sometimes, this is too challenging to bear so I skip this one altogether. Though when I am in the mood, Tobacco Honey most certainly hits the spot. You only need 2-3x sprays max, so unless you want a bottle for display purposes, 10ml or so will last forever.

This is BEAUTIFUL. Warm Oozy honey, with dry, spicy tobacco and warm spices to back it all up. Opens amazingly and Truly becomes a masterpiece in the drydown. Honestly Guerlain has blown me away. I was originally going to decide between getting this or Feve Gourmande. however its just too hard of a decision. im going to get both, and who knows, i LOVE SDV too, so might get that too. and a couple more, Guerlain has QUICKLY become my favourite brand.

Fresh tobacco, covered in honey with some spices and vanilla extract. Picture that. This perfume is a beast mode tobacco fragrance, but it's not too strong to the point that you can't wear it. There is a deepness that probably comes from the oud that blends magically with the honey and tobacco. I smell a bit of leather and smokiness, it's probably a combination of the spices together. If you like Tobacolor by Dior you will definitely love this.

For anyone looking for this profile on the cheap, there is a brand from Pakistan that has done an amazing job of replicating this. The brand is Janan, and it's called Tobacco. I have a large decant of this, and a full bottle of Janan, and it's hard to tell the difference between them, it's that close. Obviously Guerlain uses better raw chemicals, but Janan is no slouch in what they are doing, and the performance is very good.

After chasing the perfect sweet tobacco scent all winter, I finally ordered a decant of this one to give it a shot. Ohhhh myyyyyyy It smells like busy bee hives in a field of fresh, aromatic tobacco. Sweet, smoky complex. A banger of fragrance. The only drawback is the price tag, but Guerlain knows what it’s got. I bought a 10ml decant and hopefully I can get a FB for my birthday. I want to wear it constantly .

I’m not sure what others are smelling in the minority when they say body for odour, from the tobacco or sickly sweet mess. Maybe the notes just pull too bitter on you on me it’s lovely! This is divine! IRS hone with a well balanced sweet clean tobacco and Tonka dry down. The spices ground it so the honey is not too sickly but it’s all very balanced and smooth. This is 💯 unisex but not really for hotter weather.

So I got this when it first came out and got one of the very early batches. I reviewed it way down below. Since then I’ve worn it a handful of times. Now that the weather is cooler it was time to bring it out again. And in the two years my bottle has developed. The honey is less screechy and sweet. The tobacco has become more prominent. It has become smoother. This is ageing like fine wine.

I’m addicted to this juice. As the name suggests, it smells like the purest 24karat honey dripped over the most expensive imported tobacco and the effect is overwhelming. This is the most complimented scent I’ve worn in years and it has insane longevity and projection. I’m currently milking a 10ml decant that will last ages given its strength and then I’m getting a massive bottle of this.

This smells like a tobacco leaf that was dipped in fresh honey. The oud is there but it’s not prominent. If you already have Tobacco Vanille this is different enough to justify having both in my opinion. This is a conversation starting fragrance to me, something you should have confidence wearing because it’ll turn heads. Instantly became one of my favorite cold weather scents overnight

Wonderful. This is my signature scent now. This is in no way unisex. It's masculine through and through. Haters are irrational. Try it yourself before believing posts that critisise it. Not only is it delicious but it lasts a good 12 hours with 3 - 5 sprays and the silage is enormous. It seems expensive but compared to Creed which lasts 3 hours at best this is well worth the money.

This fragrance stopped me in my tracks and I don't usually like honey notes! The first spritz made me salivate. It's luxurious and delicious. It smells like fresh real honey in an tobacco shop. The honey is the stand out and it just happens to be in a tobacco shop. I wish I'd gotten the largest bottle but I'm enjoying creating a dent! I want to wear it daily.

Almost headache inducing after application but once it dries down on the skin – whole different story. A tad bit heavy on the honey in my opinion but otherwise has to be one of the sultriest, most decadent fragrances I've come across. The longevity is also INSANE – 24 hrs and two showers later and I can still get a soft projection of the base accords

This is a scent that is hard to explain. You have to experience it. On my skin, the honey is more pronounced than the tobacco. It's intoxicating and alluring in every way. But, on my skin, it lasts for about an hour. Although I respray, it just refuses to last. So, I only wear this at night to drift off to sleep and have honeycomb flavored dreams.
