At the base, the precious accord reinforces its trail with woody notes combining the creamy softness of sandalwood and the power of oud wood."I've wanted to combine honey and tobacco for a long time. On the one hand, we have the dried tobacco leaves with their swirls of powdery aroma; on the other, we have honey as a delicious, enveloping nectar," said Delphine Jelk, Perfumer and Creative Director at Guerlain.Available in 100ml and 200ml Eau de Parfum.
