What does Miel de Sauvage et Tabac smell like?

The notes sit on one level rather than unfolding in stages. Pollen and beeswax give it a light, waxy edge, while honey and honeycomb carry the gourmand sweetness. Pipe tobacco and black amber ground it in a spicy, resinous, woody and earthy base, and the smoky accord keeps the sweetness from turning sugary.

Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure time, evenings and nights out. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine. Its profile is close to Guerlain Ambre Samar and Serge Lutens Bois oriental.
