by Alkemia Perfumes
Miel de Sauvage et Tabac Alkemia is a bold, intensely sweet gourmand fragrance centered on wild honey and pipe tobacco, delivering a deeply animalic, resinous, and unapologetically rich impression. The honey note is thick, golden, and almost syrupy, seamlessly blending with the smoky, slightly sweet tobacco to create a warm, almost edible aura. Beeswax adds depth and a musky, real-world realism, making the scent feel raw and unrefined rather than polished. It projects strongly initially and lasts exceptionally long, with many reporting wear throughout the day and into the next. The fragrance is long perceived as unisex, aligning with the returned comment that while it leans sweet, it’s not overly feminine—more like a dark, gourmand aromatic that suits those who appreciate strength and depth. The scent is not for the meek; its potency and immediacy can feel overwhelming, especially on first application or on those less fond of honey-based perfumes.
