Which Should You Buy?
Babycat is a seriously divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it vanilla that's not for the faint of heart. Expect to hear everything from 'masterpiece' to 'cat piss' - definitely don't blind buy this one.
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.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent opening and strong, long-lasting projection make it a poor fit for the office. Babycat excels in evening and formal date settings due to its sensual and luxurious character and impressive performance, though some find it versatile enough for more casual, cool-weather moments.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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. Performance reports are mixed, but many find it long-lasting enough for a full workday.
