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 - Botafumeiro
A truly gorgeous, spicy incense that'll leave you feeling warm and swaddled. Despite some strong opinions on its sweetness or masculinity, most reviewers agree that Carner Barcelona has blended something special here, especially for fans of balsamic amber and subtle smoke.
