Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Honour Man Eau de Parfum
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.

Our Verdict - Lavs Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive affair, a 'love it or hate it' church incense that screams solemnity and ancient spirituality. Many love its photorealistic, cold incense vibe, while others find it too sharply medicinal or even plasticky.

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
