Honour Man
Eau de parfum
A spicy woody fragrance, a filial tribute to Madame Butterfly.
Honour Man echoes Madame Butterfly: the opera inspires Amouage to write a filial elegy, a story of memory and reconciliation. Two peppers, pink and black, open the composition brightly.
Geranium, nutmeg and elemi compose a spicy, resinous heart, before a base of frankincense, patchouli, cedarwood, vetiver, tonka bean and musk. A deep spicy woody fragrance, which the house says is 27% concentrated and aged for six weeks.

Honour Man in detail
Amouage, a house founded in Oman, likes to give its fragrances a narrative dimension. Honour Man echoes Madame Butterfly: the house sees it as a filial elegy, a story of memory and reconciliation, translated into a spicy woody fragrance.
The official pyramid opens with two peppers, pink pepper and black pepper. The heart pairs geranium, nutmeg and elemi, a lemony resin. The generous base brings together patchouli, frankincense, cedarwood, vetiver, tonka bean and musk. The house specifies its concentration of materials, 27%, and an ageing of six weeks.
Honour Man suits autumn and winter, by day as well as by night. Its two peppers keep the composition lively despite the richness of the base.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Decision 42 by Amouage shares pink pepper, frankincense, patchouli and cedarwood; Abu Dhabi by Memo Paris brings together pink pepper, frankincense, vetiver, patchouli and musk; Drunk Lovers by Born To Stand Out pairs pepper, cedarwood, patchouli and vetiver.
