Description
Delphine Jelk, Guerlain's Creative Director and Head Perfumer, waited a long time to realise this particular idea: placing honey and tobacco side by side in a single fragrance. These two materials share a surprising kinship — both sweet-smoky, both redolent of slow time and warmth — but they had rarely been paired with such directness in fine perfumery.
The opening of honey, cloves and anise is generous and golden, almost baroque in its richness. The clove and anise provide the necessary sharpness to prevent the honey from cloying. Tobacco in the heart is the powdery, dried-leaf variety rather than smoky — creamy, warm and deeply textured.
Tonka bean and vanilla in the heart add gourmand warmth; oud and sandalwood in the base deepen everything into something truly monumental. Tobacco Honey is a strong unisex choice for buyers seeking distinctive, opulent orientals. beyazitparfum.com stocks the Guerlain collection at wholesale perfume prices.
