Naxos is my husbands signature scent. He dropped his designer perfumes, V&R Spicebomb when he smelled Naxos…the quality of it is just far superior to what he was used to
Volutes is my favorite Diptyque fragrance. The honey is masterful, at the level of Cartier’s L’Envol. Maybe even better. Chergui still stands the rest of time imo - solid scent(and in many ways still unique).
Listening to this as I sew a quilt and I’m remembering as a child getting to walk through a tobacco factory where my uncle worked- sheaves of leaves hanging and the scent so strong and awesome! Is there a tobacco leaf perfume out there that is a feminine one? That would be heavenly
I am addicted to honey fragrances and tobacco is such a great partner for it. One that wasn't mentioned is Ambre Superfluide by Les Eaux Primordiales. I get a strong presence of both honey and tobacco along with the cinnamon in there. I love to layer it with Oudgasm Tobacco Oud and a spritz of Burberry Goddess for some sweetness.
Absolutely love tobacco honey. It's not too sweet for me, leans masculine, and the oud sesame combo really creates an intoxicating nutty buttery aspect. It's fantastic.
I just smelled my first with Fougere Bengale from Parfum D’Empire. This reminded me of a toffee? But nicely done with the fougere influence. Haven’t smelled anything like this. I was expecting cigarette paper smell or cigar box smell but it’s nothing like that. The honey does come off sweet but not over the top , I really like this combo. Eager to smell the rest of this list.
The only Tabacco and Honey fragrance I have is Tabacco 1812 by West Third Brand. Now I'm curious about this Guerlain. I'll have to check it out. Thank you.
I highly recommend Tobacco Maniac by Theodoros Kalotinis. I think it tops all the big hitters in this list. Really high quality blend and has a more masculine leaning tobacco yet the edges are filed down to just the right degree by honey and vanilla and an undercurrent of patchouli.
Serge Lutens Chergui is wonderful, and I'd say the same for Ambre Sultan and Santal Majuscule. Hope to get those three at some point. Great smells. Checking their webpage I saw that they also manufacture makeup, so technically not a niche house? I do have Mugler's Pure Havane and Pure Malt, tend to prefer the latter. And about Naxos, just noticed it is currently the number 1 in Parfumo among unisex fragrances. Naxos does resemble Pure Havane a lot, as if a more refined and also fresher version of it. Fresher to my nose maybe because of the lavender. I like the smells but both Pure Havane and Naxos seem a bit quite too sweet for my taste. Maybe that's why I prefer Pure Malt to Pure Havane. Must resmell Naxos every now and then, surprised to see it as number 1 there.
Fumerie Turque is one of the most underrated from the house of Serge Lutens imo. Beautiful scent and classic Lutens. I wish I wasn’t so expensive nowadays.
I'm very interested in trying Furmerie Turque, those bottles from the Gratte Ciel line are amazing! Love Chergui and Animal Mondain, what was a dislike for Naxos now it's plain hate, can't stand it, Naxos with Sauvage are the only fragrances I really hate. Love the presentation of Guerlain but not interested in try anything from the line or from the Dior exclusives. Thanks for the video Sebastian!!!
I think I only have 1 honey perfume, Floris’ Honey Oud. I like it more than I want to wear it. I think I’ll put it in the batch of perfumes to give to my nephews when they visit. They’re 24, and I think they may find it interesting.
I would have to say that these two notes together have become my favorite combination of notes. The first time I smelled Naxos, I fell in love with the honey and tobacco combo. I also love Alexandria Fragrances take on Naxos, 1981X - the tobacco and honey are very prominent, and it is different enough from Naxos to be worth owning, in my opinion.
Surprised not to see the absolutely beautiful Un Air D’Apogee from Maison Violet! Also, a better blended version of Dior Tobacolor I found it in Zaharoff Signature Tabac, well blended composition, I suggest to try it.
I have Naxos, my first luxury perfume. Your description of it is perfect. I recently came onto a powerhouse honey/tobacco which is 18.21 Man Made Sweet Tobacco Spirits that you might like. It’s very affordable as well. Could make your budget list sometime.
I love this combo too! BTW, what IS the point of the Serge Lutens bell jars? I've never ordered anything from the Flacon du table line because they don't have atomizers, and are, quite frankly, overpriced. Do you have to decant them into bottles that have atomizers?
Tobacco Honey is a nice scent, well blended but the honey is so potent. It’s an overwhelming presence of honey, a syrupy kind, from the opening salvo to the dry down.
I got my bottle of Chergui in 2008, still have a third left, and I must say the newer bottles are very different. I think it’s gone through several IFRA required reformulations, and not for the better. Still love back to Black too. I just overspray that one.
The amped up lavender in Naxos actually ruined it for me. Lavender is my favorite note but it doesn't play well with the uber-sweet honey for me. Its irritating. So I bought Xerjoff More Than Words instead of Naxos. I have a bottle of A*Men Pure Havane. And I have a few bottles of the original Michael for Men by Michael Kors. Love the dried fruit in it. Way underrated.
Tobacco and honey is one of my all time fragrance combos. Chergui has always been one of my favorites. I have 6 bottles of just in case they decide to discontinue it. 😂
I got a few samples of Tobacco Honey and it's not really for me. It's not that it's bad but I find the honey really overpowering in the opening and when that settles, the tobacco is too dirty and ashy for me. I do love tobacco and honey together, though. Chergui, Naxos, Pure Havane and a few others work better for me.
I never see anyone review bevery hills exclusive. Of course Allen swears by it (obviously) lol and i do prefer it over Naxos. So shout out to Beverley Hills perfumery i will be coming spring shopping soon Allen
I still have half a bottle of Pure Havane and an older, silver/metal bottle of Amen with a formulation that is far stronger than current. Clinging to those like a fat kid with a Hershey bar.
I am so glad I didn't blind buy the Tobaccolor from Dior, I can't stand the smell, I find it sickly sweet ans normaly I like sweet fragatnces, but that one smells horrible in my opinion, longevity is great though.
I looked it up and it's not honey so I left it off. It's mostly vanilla and tobacco like TV. I do enjoy it. I have to pull it up and get reacquainted with it again! :)
So I’ve struggled to figure out what is in certain perfumes that’s very off putting. I found it but I’m confused maybe you can help. I bought juliette has a gun and super dose. That’s the smell that I can’t stand. It almost burns my nose. I sampled dedcool milk and I’m in love. What’s the difference? Could it be that I like ambroxan but not iso e? Or is it something else in dedcool milks base?
You probably do not like Ambroxan or Cetalox or anything similar in fragrances. JHAG Not A Perfume Superdose is overdosed Ambroxan/Cetalox/ The Dedcool is amber and musk mostly and mostly a skin scent! :)
When I tried Tobacco Honey, I did enjoy it. But I did not have the urge to buy it. The Tobacco was ever so slightly too prominent. I need to give it another try to see if I still feel the same.
IMO the Guerlain Tobacco Honey is not a Guerlain. It has no elegance. I love Amouroud Miel Sauvage, SL Miel du Bois, Back to Black, some days I still like Tobacco Vanille. I don’t get the tobacco/honey notes much in Chergui , Fumerie Turque or Tea for Two although I love those fragrances.
Omg Sebastian you’ve made 3 vids this week with my least favourite notes vanilla, caramel, and tobacco & honey 😂😂🥲. Only fair you make an updated rose oud combo video last one I could find (you have 1000+ vids) is from three years ago and before that the one with Dalya from 4yrs. Cheers as always and I hope you have a great day :))
All the nasty things you said about Tobacolor are in fact true for Tobacco Honey by Guerlain! Nasty honey which smells almost like pee (like in Zoologist Bee), nasty & ashy tobacco... nauseating crap. On the other hand, Tobacolor is a sexy businessman's fragrance.

Naxos is my husbands signature scent. He dropped his designer perfumes, V&R Spicebomb when he smelled Naxos…the quality of it is just far superior to what he was used to
This is why Niche parfums are the best. V&R are note perfumers, I always try to find a niche version of famous fragrances
The mini Mugler rant was exactly the enthusiasm I needed to see today
Volutes is my favorite Diptyque fragrance. The honey is masterful, at the level of Cartier’s L’Envol. Maybe even better. Chergui still stands the rest of time imo - solid scent(and in many ways still unique).
Tobacco Honey is a beast and I love it. This is a great list that speaks my language.
Great Combo
I love tobacco fragrances ❤
Just received Tobacco Honey. In love with it.
Love Xerjoff Naxos - and love how you tell it like it is in terms of your opinions 🙂
I adore naxos! One of my favorites
Chergui is divine! ❤
Naxos is amazing. I get so many compliments!
I received Tobacco Honey as a gift with Iris Milliseme and fell in love with it. Same with Tabacolor. The two notes compliment each other.
Listening to this as I sew a quilt and I’m remembering as a child getting to walk through a tobacco factory where my uncle worked- sheaves of leaves hanging and the scent so strong and awesome! Is there a tobacco leaf perfume out there that is a feminine one? That would be heavenly
FAVOURITE EVER FRAGRANCE COMBINATIONS!!!
Great video! Tobacco honey is on my wishlist.. I almost purchased it during Black Friday but opted for overture woman by amouage😊
Tabac Tabou is an excellent candidate for this theme!
I am addicted to honey fragrances and tobacco is such a great partner for it. One that wasn't mentioned is Ambre Superfluide by Les Eaux Primordiales. I get a strong presence of both honey and tobacco along with the cinnamon in there. I love to layer it with Oudgasm Tobacco Oud and a spritz of Burberry Goddess for some sweetness.
Tobacco/honey and tobacco/vanilla are one of my favorite notes. Yes!! Naxos is the best..
Yes. Love that combo Sebastian.
Great combo yes.
One of the best new Tabacco frags is Tabacco & Amberwood by Guess. They just dropped 3 high end frags. Type 1,2 and 3.
Absolutely love tobacco honey. It's not too sweet for me, leans masculine, and the oud sesame combo really creates an intoxicating nutty buttery aspect. It's fantastic.

Still haven’t explored that brand when I go to Greece early next year I will have to dig them up

Great list! I strongly recommend Tobacco Maniac by indie Greek house Theodoros Kalotinis too - an absolutely superb blend of these two notes!
I'm going to go to Greece in March so hopefully I can get my hands on that brand there!! :)
Uniquee beverly hills exclusive is my favorite also signature scent, its amazing
Fumerie Turque is one of the most underrated from the house of Serge Lutens imo. Beautiful scent and classic Lutens. I wish I wasn’t so expensive nowadays.
I agree. So darn good! :)

My husband is a fan of Naxos! I love on him too

Great video and I enjoyed it and I like Xerjoff Naxos and Chergi and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Naxos is one of my favs! On a man or female!
Volutes is one of my top ten fragrances !
HOW DID YOU KNOW I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS!?! Thank you (does not say my bank account 😂😂😂)!!!! Blessed holidays.
I would have to say that these two notes together have become my favorite combination of notes. The first time I smelled Naxos, I fell in love with the honey and tobacco combo. I also love Alexandria Fragrances take on Naxos, 1981X - the tobacco and honey are very prominent, and it is different enough from Naxos to be worth owning, in my opinion.
Yes indeed, I use to get compliments wearing 1981 X all the time, I need a new bottle even tho I already have Naxos
Hey Sebastian!❤❤
Surprised not to see the absolutely beautiful Un Air D’Apogee from Maison Violet!
Also, a better blended version of Dior Tobacolor I found it in Zaharoff Signature Tabac, well blended composition, I suggest to try it.
Yeah I could have added it but the fragrance doesn't actually feature the note of honey. It's honeyed with the mimosa! :)
I’m from Gdansk so I need to try this Gallivant perfume ❤
Vanilla+Mandarin orange next please!
this fragrance is overwhelming
I have Naxos, my first luxury perfume. Your description of it is perfect. I recently came onto a powerhouse honey/tobacco which is 18.21 Man Made Sweet Tobacco Spirits that you might like. It’s very affordable as well. Could make your budget list sometime.
18.21 was a hot topic when it released in 2016. I’m on my second bottle👍
Unique'e Luxury Beverly Hills Exclusive is beast mode. 10 out of 10
I can also recommand L'Arc Evasion even though the lavender note is pretty prominent
Oh yes for sure!!
I've just discovered Slowdive from Hiram Green. It's a stunning honey fragrance with the note of tobacco blossom. I highly recommend it.
Oh yes I do know this one!! :)
I love this combo too! BTW, what IS the point of the Serge Lutens bell jars? I've never ordered anything from the Flacon du table line because they don't have atomizers, and are, quite frankly, overpriced. Do you have to decant them into bottles that have atomizers?
Do you like Jaipur fragrances I have the pour homme and think it smells amazing
I thought you would put Raw Gold on number one !! It’s very archetypical of the genre !!
I would add Alghabra's Cuban Tobacco to this list. One of my favorite finds this year!
I haven’t tried that one must check
Waiting for your opinion on Feve Gourmand
Tobacco Honey is a nice scent, well blended but the honey is so potent. It’s an overwhelming presence of honey, a syrupy kind, from the opening salvo to the dry down.
Sounds like my jam
Agreed. It certainly isn't "dirty, smoky, ashy." In fact I just layered it with Zoologist T.Rex as a test. NOW it's dirty, smoky, and ashy!
Just scored a sample of DIOR TOBACOLOR. Nice sweet and smooth. Clean tobacco scent. Growing on me day by day.
Thanks for sharing!
NICE!!
@@ThePerfumeGuy I just order a sample of Guerlain Tobacco Honey based on your recommendation - thank you!
Sir please make a list of niche loud sweet projecting perfume within 200 -250 bucks
I think you should try zaharoff signature aurum. Has beeswax absolute
As I sprayed Naxos on my skin, for a very short moment, for one second or two, it reminded me of Grand Soir 😕
The Oud affair is the best
I got my bottle of Chergui in 2008, still have a third left, and I must say the newer bottles are very different. I think it’s gone through several IFRA required reformulations, and not for the better. Still love back to Black too. I just overspray that one.
Ooh you have a nice vintage version.
@@ThePerfumeGuy yes, in the light colored label and it smells rich and enticing!
The amped up lavender in Naxos actually ruined it for me. Lavender is my favorite note but it doesn't play well with the uber-sweet honey for me. Its irritating. So I bought Xerjoff More Than Words instead of Naxos.
I have a bottle of A*Men Pure Havane.
And I have a few bottles of the original Michael for Men by Michael Kors. Love the dried fruit in it. Way underrated.
Wonderful 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for stopping by.
@@ThePerfumeGuy ALWAYS ♥ 🙏🏽
My favorite combo
Throw in some Cherry 🍒
Montale Infinity has cherry and tobacco in it.
Wonderful scents ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Make review on Feve Gourmande
Sooner than later! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy great
Tobacco and honey is one of my all time fragrance combos. Chergui has always been one of my favorites. I have 6 bottles of just in case they decide to discontinue it. 😂
OOh that's a nice backup!! :)
Fumerie Turque is one of the best tobacco fragrances ever created!!

Honey/Tobacco - a perfect unisexy combo 🤎 🍯
I still have half a bottle of Pure Havane and an older, silver/metal bottle of Amen with a formulation that is far stronger than current. Clinging to those like a fat kid with a Hershey bar.
greetings from Gdańsk!!!
Hello hello!!
chergi was my first tobacco fragrance and thought it was boring years ago lol
Forgot Naomi Goodsir Or du Serail
Has anyone bought new lots of Chergui? How is the performance?
I am so glad I didn't blind buy the Tobaccolor from Dior, I can't stand the smell, I find it sickly sweet ans normaly I like sweet fragatnces, but that one smells horrible in my opinion, longevity is great though.
What do you think about Vanille Havane by Les Indemodables? I believe you had reviewed it before!
I looked it up and it's not honey so I left it off. It's mostly vanilla and tobacco like TV. I do enjoy it. I have to pull it up and get reacquainted with it again! :)
I must admit I tried tobacolor and yes that weird note really hit me. Strange plasticity tar smell I found it quite nauseating.
So I’ve struggled to figure out what is in certain perfumes that’s very off putting. I found it but I’m confused maybe you can help. I bought juliette has a gun and super dose. That’s the smell that I can’t stand. It almost burns my nose. I sampled dedcool milk and I’m in love. What’s the difference? Could it be that I like ambroxan but not iso e?

I’m waiting for my feve gourmande….. just ordered
I received mine today!!! If u love gourmand it is a must have! I love it!
Ordered mine on Sunday with 15% off at Saks! Woohoo! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy I have 20% …. Good deals !!!
When I tried Tobacco Honey, I did enjoy it. But I did not have the urge to buy it. The Tobacco was ever so slightly too prominent. I need to give it another try to see if I still feel the same.
Interesting I have heard both not enough tobacco and too much tobacco. Noses are very interesting! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy yep.
would add 1821 man made sweet tobacco spirits to this list. great list tho
naxos is good

Oh yes me too. And I have 2 backup bottles as well! But MUGLER come on get back to releasing men's fragrances already!! :)

❤❤❤
Anyone: fragrance that smells like shisha, apart from Smoking Hot?
I feel like Naxos is sweeter than Tobacco Honey
Tobacco is good for a pesticide. Not for humans.
NON SENSE.
