  Trying it again left me with a small disappointment with the brand, not because the perfume itself is bad or has low-quality ingredients, but due to the high expectations created. It’s not true that it’s one of the most potent or has greater projection as some say; I didn’t notice it. Behique smells good, it’s spiced green with a very notable and spicy tobacco at the start. As it dries, it becomes warmer and resinous with woods that take body. However, the ensemble seems more like a daily wear than for special or night occasions. The performance is good: it lasts eight hours on skin, more on clothes, and although it’s an extrait de parfum, it doesn’t project especially high nor does it feel oily. I see it as unisex, although the tobacco inclines it towards masculine. It’s a good option for winter days or spring/summer nights. In short, it smells great, but I don’t know if it’s worth paying over €200 when there are similar options for less. Now that I know Renier’s extrait range (Behique De Lirius Habana 500), I feel like trying the Rain line, which are eaux de parfum and cost half as much. Perhaps I’ll find something there that seduces me. Scent: 8 Longevity: 8 Projection: 8 Value for money: 4 Versatility: 7 Originality: 7 Overall: 8.

  Behique is a characterful perfume with a raw, green, woody, and earthy opening. You can detect a strange soapy cleanliness from intermittent smoky cannabis notes that appear and disappear every three seconds. The concept revolves around dry wood with three or four drops of anisated rum that barely dampen tobacco petals similar to Bulgari’s BLV pour Homme, plus a touch of pepper. This mixture creates a striking oscillating sensation between cold and heat. In the heart phase, it doesn’t lose power with good projection; the tobacco reminds me of Nishane’s Fan Your Flames at the start. As it dries, the initial sweetness fades and the wood yields to resins and amber that refine the smoke, profiling a persistent dry-down of over 14 hours. Very good projection of 1.5 to 2 metres with just two sprays in four hours. It’s a correct, different, and striking perfume ideal for cold weather. Avoid the conventional typical of trendy cannabis fragrances. An interesting proposal from Renier that you must try: you’ll either like it or not. I have it as a complete olfactory experience with good development. Recommended for its density in cold night weather. Rating 8.75/10.

  It reminds me a little of Taormina’s Cedro. They share basil, cedar, black pepper, and vetiver; one has labdanum and the other amber. It has quite a mature dry-down that doesn’t suit me much either. Quite dry with the pepper, vetiver, cedar, tobacco flower, and basil, although it has a very salty counterpoint from the anise (in my opinion, it could use a bit more of that). This dryness can remind you of an empty humidor, with the tobacco scent still impregnated. It also has a little of Black Afgano’s DNA, although personally, it doesn’t smell of marijuana to me. The performance is very good, but honestly, I can’t support these prices.

  It smells of slightly mentholated earth, like a wooden box of cigars that has been underground for quite some time. I know it from the discovery set, but I wouldn’t buy it; I don’t like it enough, nor do I hate it, but to justify the price it would need to please me much more (if it had been sweeter, it might have won me over). On my skin, it lasts at most four hours with moderate trail, so the quality-to-price ratio leaves a lot to be desired, and for a unisex scent, it leans heavily towards masculine. I’ll keep giving it chances, but I don’t see a possibility of changing my mind. Under no circumstances would I buy blind.

  Behique’s scent is the most artistic in the brand’s range. If I put it in a metaphor, it smells of wet earth and herbs with a dark tone, flambéed with rum or another distillate. It’s a dark, deep perfume with presence, but with a hidden side, slightly sweet and mysterious. From the Taino collection, it’s the most complex and difficult to digest. At first, it smelled of freshly heated depilatory wax, but today I understand its composition better; it’s a complete experience to know it. As it develops, patchouli, tobacco, and vetiver appear clearly, but the sensation of earth, liquor, and that dense, opaque green dominate from start to finish. I see it as much more masculine, with brutal performance, original, for cold and temperate climates, special occasions, day and night. If you’re looking for character, resolution, and a challenging edge, this is a ‘must try’. Personally, I value its many layers and high quality, but it’s a bit mature for me yet. Note: 7.5/10. Sampled at Cruz & Valencia, Chile.

  The opening is strange, but more digestible than Cacique. It smells smoky and earthy, like burning green grass; then it calms down and moves to a cannabis phase with smoky wood, slightly mentholated and bitter, evoking an ashtray with several butts, multiplied by ten. I don’t feel tobacco, but rather the earthy-medical patchouli and black pepper. Rum? Perhaps. After half an hour, the aggression subsides, giving way to an aromatic phase that is masculine, with elegant, dry tobacco. At ten hours, nothing smoky or cannabis-like remains; it’s a lovely sandalwood with basil and anise, notes that say they are in the heart. Overall, Behique isn’t to my taste, but it’s a complete olfactory experience, just not something I’d wear. Unisex masculine, notable trail, lasts a long time, and has excellent sillage. Pity having to wait so long for what I liked most, the dry-down, which appeared at nine hours. By the way, the first hours reminded me of a damp cave with an earthen floor, like Zoologist’s Bat.

  The opening is the strangest part, but more digestible than Cacique’s. Smoky and earthy, like burning green grass; after a few minutes, it calms down and moves to a cannabis phase with smoky wood (not burnt leaf), slightly mentholated and bitter, evoking an ashtray with several consumed butts, multiplied by ten. I don’t feel the tobacco as such, but rather the patchouli in its earthy-medical phase and black pepper. Rum? Perhaps. After half an hour, the aggressive notes calm down to give way to a totally aromatic and more masculine phase with elegant, dry tobacco. Finally, after ten hours, there’s no trace of the smoky or cannabis elements. What I perceive is a lovely sandalwood accompanied by notes that say they are in the heart, not the base: basil and anise, what a lovely phase. Overall, Behique isn’t to my taste, but it’s not a bad perfume; it’s a complete olfactory experience, just not something I’d wear. Unisex masculine with a notable trail, lasts a long time, and has excellent sillage. Pity having to wait so long for what I liked most, which was its dry-down, starting at nine hours. Oh, I forgot to mention that during the first hours it reminded me of being in a damp cave with an earthen floor, evoking Zoologist’s Bat.

  It’s a patchouli and herb bomb, smelling like grass after rain: earthy and green. I didn’t detect the marijuana note. As it dries, it vaguely recalls Puig’s Agua Brava, but with a different quality. Behique smells old-school and retro, elegant, like someone with plenty of money and an intellectual profile. Ideal with a tweed jacket and leather elbow patches in autumn or winter. You can tell it uses high-quality natural ingredients. Tried at Cruz & Valencia, Galería Lastarria, Santiago.
