Tobacco Honey vs Herod

The r/fragrance community overwhelmingly loves Guerlain Tobacco Honey, praising its sophisticated balance of honey and tobacco with excellent longevity and a beautiful dry down. While most consider it worth the premium price and a standout fragrance in the L'Art et la Matière line, a small minority find the honey note too funky or weird for their taste. The fragrance is best enjoyed standalone rather than layered with other scents.

Herod is highly regarded in the community as a top-tier fragrance from Parfums de Marly, praised for its complex vanilla-tobacco profile, smooth character, and impressive longevity. While some users report moderate projection rather than extreme performance, the consensus is that it offers excellent quality, especially when purchased on sale, though buyers should verify authenticity due to counterfeits in the market.
