Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Honour Man

Divisive, intriguing, and criminally underrated by some, Honour Man is Amouage's 'easy wear'. A bold, peppery opening settles into a clean, sophisticated everyday scent that challenges expectations of the house's usual bombast.

Acquired

Our Verdict - The Library Collection Opus II

This one's a proper grown-up scent, polarising some with its classic barbershop vibe but adored by others for its sophisticated, masculine charm. A complex fougère that blends tradition with a refined touch, though its subtlety won't please those craving a powerhouse beast.
