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 - L'Occitan Eau de Toilette

L'Occitan is a calm, spiced-up lavender that gets called natural and good quality by its fans, but slammed as musty-medicinal or simply *boring* by its detractors. If you're after a classic-leaning, understated lavender scent, this one's probably for you. Just don't expect it to last longer than a few hours.

Often cited as an ideal office fragrance due to its clean and sophisticated appeal, Honour Man's moderate projection and versatility make it suitable for various settings, though its prominent spice might be a bit much for very casual or sport scenarios.

Its moderate projection and generally poor longevity make it suitable for office wear where it won't overwhelm. The relaxing, clean aromatic profile lends itself well to casual settings. It's a bit too understated and short-lived for formal events or energetic sport.
