Amouage Honour Man smells like warm spiced wood with a peppery fresh edge and a creamy tonka undertone. Black pepper and pink pepper open it with a bright crackle. Madagascan elemi, geranium and nutmeg form the heart, and the base is vetiver, cedar, frankincense resin, musk, patchouli and tonka bean absolute. It leans masculine and feels woody, aromatic and grounded.
A daytime scent for all four seasons, the community wears it casually. It first appeared in 2011. An honest note on performance: the community says it lasts a long time on skin and carries to roughly arm's length.
36 different people have talked about it in the fragrance communities Scendira tracks, so this read rests on real wear reports.
Around $395.
