Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

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