AN AMBERY, WOODY INTERPRETATION OF TOBACCO

The wickedly sensual substance of raw tobacco reveals itself as an accord, unveiling its most beautiful facets when touched by honey. A contrasting olfactory tension is struck between the golden sheen of honey and the intoxicating vibrancy of the tobacco accord.

A deliciously ambery tobacco accord is enveloped in vanilla, Tonka bean and sesame before being enlivened under the vibrant brightness of heady honey, then heightened by aniseed accord and clove. At the base, the precious accord reinforces its trail of woody notes combining a blend of sweetly creamy sandalwood and powerful oud wood.

THE FRAGRANCE ARTIST’S TOUCH

To the music of honey, Delphine Jelk plays tobacco’s most beautiful score in a melody of warm, ambery notes.

"If it were a masterpiece, a patchwork of tobacco leaves like an Arte povera land art."

The scent of Tobacco Honey may call to mind a piece of Italian Arte Povera land art, the avant-garde art movement born in the 1960s that included works presenting materials in their raw state.
Reprising this creative approach, Tobacco Honey exalts an assemblage of tobacco leaves with a thousand nuances.

THE TOBACCO ACCORD

Tobacco is olfactively expressed in the form of an accord. Guerlain Perfumer Delphine Jelk has created this accord by combining various raw materials, carefully selected to replicate the evocative power of tobacco with its profound, captivating tones. Tobacco Honey shines a light on the woodiest, most honeyed hues of this richly faceted accord.

IN THE PERFUMER’S WORDS

“I HAD LONG WANTED TO COMBINE HONEY AND TOBACCO. ON ONE SIDE, WE HAVE THE DRIED LEAVES OF TOBACCO WITH THEIR POWDERY SWIRLS OF SCENT, ON THE OTHER, WE HAVE THE HONEY LIKE A DELICIOUS, ENVELOPING NECTAR.”

Delphine Jelk,
Guerlain Perfume Creation Director & Perfumer
