Thanks very much. I'm not planning on stopping any time soon.

When I smelled Guerlain's Tobacco Honey, I kept thinking that it would be amazing as a candle that I would buy on a whim. But for a perfume, I don't need it, tho I won't mind if any wore it around me.

I had the same candle association and realized it is because Guerlain's Tobacco Honey smells very much like the unfortunately limited edition Byredo x Ikea's Tobacco and Honey candle.

@hey.noah.

@@queenp1n Oh yeah, definitely, it also reminds me of Diptyque's Narguilé candle. It's not the same but they share that tobacco honey notes. If you miss Byredo x Ikea's candle, I recommend Narguilé.

A favourite fresh citrus, slightly spicy tobacco fragrance I love is Extrême Pureté by Gres (which is also extremely affordable). Very unique and well blended perfume I enjoy all year round. I would imagine Dyptique coming out with a fragrance like this.

Tobacco Honey smells exquisite on me. I normally don’t like unisex fragrances, I want to smell feminine but on me, this starts out unisex but settles into what I think is a feminine leaning honey smell. I adore it. I’m looking forward to trying Feve Gourmande. I already ordered my bottle.

I'm so pleased it works well on you. The tobacco accord is very well done.

Also my favorite tobacco perfumes would be by Kilian's Back to Black, Serge Lutens Chergui, MM Replica Jazz Club, and 4160 Tuesdays' Hush Hush, which is supposed to be more cigarette paper than tobacco, but it's also worth a mention.

@Persolaise

9 ай бұрын

I love Chergui.

I find this very fitting for the Arts et Matière line. As you already pointed out it gives you what one expects. It is well done and quite pricey. The honey is very much in your face. For a honey note I would definitely prefer Piver's Cuir de Russie. It smells more natural and more interesting over all. No tobacco in it though.

My favorite tobaccos are listed below. If I had to narrow it down to only two "must-try" recommendations of those below, then it has to be Villoresi Atman Xaman and Santa Maria Novella Acqua di Cuba. They're essential entrants in the "tobacco fragrance" canon. The list: Carner Barcelona Sandor 70's Czech & Speake Cuba Eau d'Italie Bois d'Ombrie Hilde Soliani Bell'Antonio Lalique Noir Premier Or Intemporel 1888 Les Indemodables Vanille Havane Lorenzo Villoresi Atman Xaman EDP Masque Milano Montecristo Rasasi Oudh Al Boruzz Abeer Malaysia Santa Maria Novella Acqua di Cuba

Favourite tobacco scent? Fan your flames by Nishane. Although my beloved Nimitr by Prin gives off a wonderful tobacco note on my skin so maybe that takes top spot.

Tobacco perfumes are not my favorite kind but if I had to choose a few I would rather take Caron's Tabac Blond and Parfum d'Empire's Tabac Tabou. Tobacco Honey smelled very thick, dense and overly sweet to me. Not to my liking. I would like to know what you think of the new L'art et la Matière extracts.

@Persolaise

9 ай бұрын

Oh dear -- those extraits! They're really pricey too. I wonder if I'll ever get to smell them.

Amongst the guerlain line, I think it fills a spot within their offerings that otherwise would be absent done in their style. On me as a woman who particularly enjoys their line, especially oud nude, khol and cherry, this is wearable but leans more masculine as it dries down (on me). There are several other nice tobacco honey type scents, were I to add one to my collection I prefer the softer vanilla touches in TF tobbaco vanille though even that leans slightly masculine on me in the dry down but less so than this guerlain. If you love the guerlain style and the commonality that runs throughout, I think it’s a beautiful scent, well blended, balanced and very wearable :)

I love pipe tobacco smell! Maybe because it reminds me of my brother's curiosity for Karl Marx's body of work when he was a university student and used to smoke a pipe and grew a Stalin mustache to complete the intellectual persona 🤣. If this even remotely captures the essence of pipe tobacco, I need to buy him a bottle. 🙏

I tried Tobacco Honey soon after it came out and thought it was pretty boring: synthetic (almost harsh) tobacco and a little sweetness. Not really what I expected from L'Art & La Matière line, both based on the previous releases and the price. My favourite tobacco scents are Naxos and Tobacco Vanille. You could argue Naxos isn't really a tobacco fragrance because it plays a supporting role to other notes - fine, maybe that's how I prefer it.
