Honour Man
Honour Man by Amouage is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2011 in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, cardamom and pink pepper, moves into lavender, vetiver and leather and dries down to frankincense, sandalwood, patchouli and musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
Dry-down
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
