How it unfolds
-
Pepper and rhubarb
The opening is not sweet. Black pepper gives a dry, tingling heat, rhubarb leaves a green, sharp, slightly sour note, and coriander a fresh, citrusy spice. This sets a cool, clear frame before the flowers come in, and the scent does not turn heavy too soon.
-
A crowd of flowers
Jasmine, tuberose, gardenia, lily of the valley and carnation share the heart. Tuberose and gardenia are creamy and heady, lily of the valley adds a fresh, watery glint, jasmine a warm, rounded sweetness and carnation a faint clove-like spice. The effect is a dense, lush bouquet with a sharp edge rather than a soft one.
-
Vetiver, resin and leather
Vetiver gives a dry, rooty base, frankincense and opoponax a smoky, balsamic resin, and amber a warm glow. Leather runs under all of it and gives the ending a dark, supple tone set against the white flowers. The finish is dry and grown-up rather than sweet.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
Honour Woman is a full white floral at 28% perfume oil, so two sprays are enough in most settings. It does well on spring and autumn evenings, at dinners and at occasions where a classic, structured floral is welcome. In heat, tuberose and gardenia can feel rich, so use a lighter hand.
Who it is for
The house presents Honour Woman as a women's fragrance. White flowers with some bite are the point: pepper on top, leather and resin below. It is for evening events, formal dinners and anyone who prefers a classic bouquet to a fruity or sugary scent.
Why choose Amouage Honour Woman
Honour Woman carries a story rather than a trend: the tragic fate of Madame Butterfly, carried through flowers and resin. The brand gives it 28% perfume oil and six weeks of ageing, and files it under white floral.

Questions
Frequently asked
Which flowers are in it?
Five: jasmine, tuberose, gardenia, lily of the valley and carnation, all in the heart. Pepper, rhubarb leaves and coriander sit on top, with vetiver, resins, amber and leather below.
How strong is it?
The brand's figures are 28% perfume oil and six weeks of ageing, a full-bodied Eau de Parfum. On the house's own scale of 15 to 35% that is in the upper half.
Is it too heavy for summer?
With tuberose and gardenia at the centre and a leather base, it is richer than a light summer floral. Spring and autumn suit it better; in warm weather, apply it sparingly.
Is it suitable as a present?
It suits someone who loves classic white flowers with a dark, resinous finish. It comes in a 100 ml bottle.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
