Beverly Hills Exclusive

Wow!!! What an absolutely stunning fragrance!!! This is my first time diving into the Turkish house of Unique'e and my first impression of this house is a very good one. I got a sample of this from Alan Berdjis at BHP with another purchase and knew this would eventually be in my collection. Beverly Hills Exclusive is a masterpiece that has honey and tobacco front and center. And while tonka bean is the only other note listed here, there's other notes in this blend that can be seen if you go to the BHP website. So how does it smell? It opens with a sweet honey that is brightened somewhat by bergamot. There's also a touch of the clary sage and cardamom as well but the honey is the star of the show. It's undoubtedly sweet but there is an underlying brightness to it that keeps it from getting syrupy and cloying. Once the fragrance settles and gets into the heart the tobacco takes over. It's a sweet tobacco that reminds me of the shisha that is used in hookahs. It doesn't completely overtake the opening as that is still persisting, but it just kind of catches itself up and shares the spotlight. This is where I get hints of the rose and orris as well. These notes are much more subtle, but they are there and readily noticeable. This stage of the fragrance lasts a LONG time...probably a solid 8 to 10 hours. The beginning of the end is signaled by the sandalwood and ambergris. The sweet tobacco really mellows out and the fragrance becomes a nice creamy and woody skin scent with the remnants of sweet tobacco and honey. This can last for up to another several hours and offers a pleasant conclusion to a beautiful ride. When Alan told me about this fragrance and that it was built around honey and tobacco, I thought it would be sickeningly sweet and headache-inducing. But this is FAR from that kind of fragrance. There's a freshness in here that makes this extremely easy to wear. The warmer months will obviously require a more conservative trigger finger, but it's possible to wear this in warmer weather but probably better off with an evening wear. Expect to get compliments with this stuff too. It projects very well for at least a few hours and once it pulls closer to the skin it still just goes and goes. Longevity is absolutely monstrous. It's one of the longest lasting fragrances I've used and is a full day commitment unless you plan to shower before going out for the evening. That being said, it's priced very well for a niche perfume. You can likely spend twice the price for something that isn't this good. This one is a home run from Alan and Unique'e for sure and was a great introduction to this house for me personally. To my nose...this one is a 10/10 fragrance. Yeah it's that good.

First of all, the packaging is awesome. Great attention to details, great bottle, good atomizer which mustn't have been easy to make as the juice is EXTREMELY OILY, it doesn't spray a lot but it gets the job done. The honey in this is very dirty. It reminds me of the honey in Bee from Zoologist. For those who never smelled it, picture a "dark honey", it's not a light honey that's reminding you of flowers in the spring. It's very dark, almost animalic. The notes on Fragrantica are accurate : this is a tobacco honey fragrance. The tobacco balances the sweetness of the honey. It's extremely well blended and extremely high in quality. It smells really niche, do not blind buy this expecting a mass pleasing type of scent, that's not it. This is very bold and daring. On my skin, the honey dominates really hard. After an hour, flowers kick in. The fragrance gets slightly softer and there's a floral dimension added to the scent, it's like a breathe of fresh air in a very dark honey pool. Rose tries to fight its way through the honey and is helped by powdery facets brought through orris and tonka. It finally settles on a honey and tobacco base with some creaminess. After 6+ hours, the honey calms down and isn't as dark, the fragrance gets softer, less "in your face" and very relaxing. After 8+ hours I can really smell the orris butter, the honey takes a backseat, the tobacco is gone and I'm left with a honey powdery fragrance that is extremely different from what I had before. Overall, a master piece of perfumery that evolves as time goes, that will change massively through the day. As for performance, here's what'll help you figure out : the first spray I used was on my mother's arm. One spray. Ten hours later, I could still smell it really well while her arm was covered by a sweater. Pure beast. If you dare using this at work or at school, be VERY careful how much you spray. Used one and a half spray on my arm and it almost gave me a headache, this is one of the strongest perfumes I've smelled. Unisex leaning masculine, it's easier to wear as a man I'd say, but a woman with confidence could be wonderful with this one. For the price at discounters, this is an insane value. The level of quality and performance you get is crazy good. 100ml of this juice costs less than 50ml of many brands that use way lower quality ingredients and concentrations. Support brands like these, that give insane quality and performance for an understandable price. We need brands like these to exist and thrive.

A very versatile and signature scent worthy option from the house of Unique'e Luxury. Personally I think it can be used in both sophisticated but also informal situations. The Beverly Hills Exclusive is nowhere near as sweet as I was expecting by the notes listed and what a pleasant surprise this was. This scent is probably the best honey scent I've smelled so far. I feel like if I keep wearing this Winnie The Pooh will appear somewhere in my house Donny Darko style waiting to attack me. The scent is a mature gourmand that does not smell like a gooey, thick, somewhat cloying honey similar to Oajan or Kilian's Back to Black. This is a fresher, crisp, somewhat aromatic take on honey that has a light and smokey aura about it that keeps it from being a fruity pastry I dropped on my clothes. If I had to classify the variety of honey this smells like I would say BHE smells like more of a tangier white clover honey. Strangely the scent also has a denseness about it characteristic of a strong projector that travels slowly but invitingly in the air. We can thank the orris and ambergris used in this to give it it's duality of dense and fresh atmosphere. The ambergris and clary sage work together in this to give BHE a savory and aromatic quality that contrasts perfectly with the sweet base to create an altogether well-blended, mature and expensive smelling linear formula. The sweet is perfected by the savory and if the composition wasn't already balanced enough there is a creamy sandalwood base working with the orris oils helping intensify the creamy sweetness of the tonka bean almost smelling like warm milk and honey. The dry tobacco and spices are present in the entire development of the fragrance providing an attractive but mature woodiness that has a slightly Middle-eastern feel. Like hookah but given a wearable refinement. and is unisex possibly masculine leaning. Wow. This is what niche is all about. Original and balanced, sophisticated but wearable, adventurous but enjoyable. Personally, I think the Beverly Hills Exclusive can be worn all year round. I imagine I'm in fall again around the time of Thanksgiving with a warm eggnog in my hand. Festive music is playing faintly on a speaker I can't locate and I'm chatting about sports and arguing politics with family members. I personally like this a little better than Crush On Me for its versatility but they are both masterpieces. 🍯🌿🥛 10/10

Finalmente, depois de usando esse perfume por 6 meses, resolvi fazer uma avaliação. É inegável dizer que esta fragrância seja uma obra prima da perfumaria. Na minha opinião, a melhor da marca (sim, já experimentei todos). Talvez tenha sido a melhor surpresa que recebi nessa breve jornada pelo muita da perfumaria. A listagem das notas da fragrância faz muito sentido (não essas 3(?) Que estão listadas aqui, mas todas as outras 12), pois na minha pele, abre um com uma bergamota cítrica que rapidamente perde o brilho (uns 3 minutos?), dando espaço para o cardamomo e o mel junto de um aspecto floral (rosa) que perduram por +/- uns 2/3 horas. Após esse período, a fava tonka e a íris aparecem dando um aspecto atalcado e doce à fragrância (nada enjoativo, muito pelo contrário, é um doce super agradável) e no final (lá pelas 6/7 horas) o âmbar cinzento e o sandalo finalizam dando um aspecto meio amadeirado doce e ficam até o final da fragrância. Essa descrição que acabei de dar é a evolução que normalmente acontece na minha pele. No entanto, algumas vezes, na primeira parte (entre 3 minutos e 2/3 horas), evoluiu para um aspecto meio alcoólico (como uma bebida de mel que particularmente amei), fiquei impressionado com essa mutabilidade da fragrância. Acho que é uma fragrância que tende MUITO mais para o masculino, tanto que nesse período (6 meses) todos os elogios vieram de mulheres das mais diversas idades (quase sempre com o "nossa que perfume diferente, ele é muito bom"). Na minha opinião, é uma obra prima da perfumaria pelo simples fato de não encontrar nada parecido. Já conheci mais de 200 fragrâncias de nicho/designs e não achei nada semelhante (não, não tem nada a ver com naxos, Beverly é muito superior). Enfim, sem sombra de dúvidas, é uma fragrância 10/10. Essa é literalmente uma fragrância verdadeiramente de nicho.

I purchased a full bottle and I am willing to share my initial impressions with you. I will continue to edit this post and share my experiences as time goes on. This one opens up with airy rose and tobacco. The samples from BE Perfumery does the original bottle no justice. It is 10x better from the bottle. For a couple of hours, I notice a dark dried fruit scent. The dry down has a tiny, micro-sliver of animalic nature that is hardly noticeable to some, probably from the honey. It's dark, yet also fresh and airy! Very very VERY Versatile. Can be worn 365 days a year. Transforms many times throughout the lifespan of the spritz. Sweet enough, never cloying and far from being gourmand. Elegant sexiness without a doubt. Unisex 100%. ONE spray will fill the room. Even though strong, it is still a somewhat airy perfume, despite all the notes listed. Two sprays = all day and night performance. 7am-9pm for me in dry 80 degree California weather. 10/10 LOVE the dry down. Beats perfumes double its price. A masterpiece hands down.

This thing is all about honey and floral notes. There’s some tobacco lurking but honey dominates. It’s fairly powdery and it’s extremely potent. It has a sweetness and old school class I was not expecting. It’s also the only one in the line that I have smelled (which is everything up to the marshmallow one) that didn’t feel totally overloaded with fixatives, although I’m sure it is. It’s easily my favorite from the line and the only one I own. Kutay, Crush on Me, and others have some pleasant pieces but are so synthetic it’s hard for me to even test them. Beverly Hills is just on the line of wearable but it’s pushing the limits of loudness. Longevity is insane at 12-14+ hours with huge push for hours. This is the definition of beast mode. An 8/10. If you love honey like Back to Black but want it loud, this is for you! Just barely a 😀.

This is an amazing house. I had Kutay and loved it. Since I like fragrances with honey note, so I tried this one. This fragrance is a beautiful journey. It starts different, something fresh and then moves into the direction of honey apple pie. There is a tobacco note but not like naxos. It’s different, its wet sweet tobacco. The fragrance last whole day. It’s not at all overwhelming. I do get compliments as well. Got asked several times the same day what is smelling so good in the room. But I think even the one wearing this will enjoy it alot. If you like sweet honey fragrances, and want something very sophisticated and not right at your face but something thats worth the money in terms of longevity, sillage and performance, dont think twice and get your nose on this.

in short, this is the smell of a true MF. can't stop smellling myself. i have to admit, i was expecting something more mature, something that requires a special occasion with low wearability. all my previous expectations shifted with the first spray. probably one of the most nuclear, highest quality, most invigorating, most potent and most wearable cold weather scents of all time. tobacco twist to give it a sense of classiness. masculine florals and a gourmandish accord of honey makes it wearable in almost every occasion from cocktail dates to just wearing it to bed. especially this being a irisy powdery tobacco makes this a product of francesca bianchi-esque dna. so if you like francesca bianchi fragrances you'll probably LOVE this.

I love tobacco and honey notes. The most balanced tobacco + honey combo I've ever smelled. Just enough sweet, not too much, just enough tobacco leaf. The best part is that it never overwhelms and has a great performance. I don't know how they did it, but its quite airy im a good way without hitting you in the face. Maybe it's aldehydes or something like that, but I think they won't share this secret. It can be wearable all year round, except in extreme summer heat, but don't afraid to pull trigger littbe bit cooler summer days. It's quite versatile i think. Pure niche quality. Well crafted. ▫️Scent: 10/10 ▫️Longevity: 12+ hrs ▫️Sillage: Room filler for first 4-5hrs then nicely scent bubble before it fades out ▫️Gender: Unisex

First let me say this... everything this house makes is top of the line quality shit. I’m not one to classify if a scent is x or y or z. If it’s too feminine or cold weather etc. but this really doesn’t work in high heat. It almost comes off like “hot skin” the smell of someone who’s been outside all day But other than that this is the best from the house. It’s smells like a beehive with a NATURAL powdered tobacco smell Scent 11/10 15h+ longevity 4ft. Projection for the first like 3 hours and an elbows length till hour 10 (craziness) It’s just a bit pricy for what I’m getting. The only one I think from the house worth the price tag is crush on me. Nuclear projection for 4h, 3ft projection until 10h and 20h+ longevity

This was a blind buy due to a great deal I got on fragrancebuy.ca ! Presentation itself is amazing and unboxing experience itself was great and very exciting! I bought it since I was looking for something similar to Sticky Fingers by Francesca Bianchi that I love ! It’s September in Chicago and I already know that’s going to be on a heavy rotation this fall. It’s so well blend with heavy on the honey side but in a very good way . My first purchase from this house and I am ready for more ! Highly recommend! It’s very addicting and I can’t stop smelling my wrist ! More on a masculine side but I think anyone can pull this off !!!! Definitely in my top 10 !

Honey is king. If you like honey, get this. If you like rose, get this. If you like Honey Oud by Floris, get this. To me it’s a honey, rose, clary sage scent in that order. There is a tobacco note (similar to Naxos), but it is faint, smothered under the honey and rose. It becomes slightly animalic as it transitions into the heart, but it is very short lived. By the time you recognize it, it’s already gone. This baby needs space and airflow, like a cool breeze, ‘cuz it’s loud and has a realistic honey sweetness. Overall, this is a winner. I’ve had my bottle for over a year and it feels even better. More syrupy thick with great projection.

Unique'e Luxury Beverly Hills Exclusive just became my signature scent! I just received this in the mail, and boy oh boy, what a gem!!! The sillage and longevity on my skin outperformed most of the fragrances in my collection, which lasted for more than 12 hours! I also finally found a unisex scent that my wife adores and could wear if she wishes to. The scent is mesmerizing and addictive! A well-balanced fragrance that will stand out. Unique'e Luxury Beverly Hill Exclusive Extrait de Parfum is an olfactory masterpiece! A 10 out of 10 for me!

Wore this one back to back, on day one my waitress at the restaurant loved it and asked to write it down for her, she's buying for her man. That evening took wife shopping and a man stopped me and asked what I was wearing, he said it was amazing. Day 2 of wearing this masterpiece the teller at Wells Fargo bank asked what was I wearing he said he's never smelled such Luxury fragrance. I've had this fragrance for over a year never cared for it till now. This fragrance is backup bottle worthy! 10/10 for me

Just got mine, smells like pure honey with tobacco leaves and something boozy (I wonder where it's coming from), but it's not thick or heavy it's actually quite airy (Probably because of aldehyde?), which makes me think I can wear this in the heat (I'm from a tropical country). Will try wearing this a few more times because ATM it's between 😐 and 🙂. 5.5/10 Projection: Huge scent bubble, also leaves a really nice scent trail. Longevity: At least 10 hours on my skin, lasts forever on clothes.

I really do love this fragrance. Honey/tobacco is my favorite note duo & man this is my favorite honey tobacco scent in my collection. That’s out of GTH, XN, JPGLME, atralia elixir & rayhaan elixir. It really has a strong incense vibe to it. But not middle eastern overbearing incense, beautiful old school Rastafarian sweet incense & it pairs with the honey amazingly. It beat IL Padrino for the #1 spot in my collection currently.

Spicy honeyed tobacco. Heavy on the honey with green aromatic and floral accents, the dry tobacco leaf embitters the fresh bergamot and cardamom to form a cinnamon-like accord. It smells vaguely of apple pie as it starts to dry down, like a mix of Ambre Narguile, Oajan, and Naxos. VERY strong projection through the first hour, settling down to more moderate through 3-4hr, longevity 8-10hr.

The iris is the dry down is very buttery and smooth. Kinda similar to dior homme intense. I can smell this all day when sprayed from in the morning. Projection is very good. I've had this sitting since last year and it seems to have gotten stronger. Smells heavenly but can be a little sweet. So if you don't like sweet fragrances, sample first.

Ok So this is pretty different The initial spray was not something special The mid of the frag is where the magic happens You can enjoy the mid for 3 to 4 hours and when it drys down I felt it became boring or uninspired The thing is the mid is so good that you shouldn’t care about the opening and the dry down Performance is good

This one is the first one I owned from the brand. Just two words AMAZING PERFORMANCE! Never mind if you like the scent or not - the longevity and sillahe are undisputed! For me it’s unisex despite tobacco notes. It’s sweet, deep and centual. Definitely not everyday scent but something I will touch when I’d like to be noticed
