Have you worn Honour Woman?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. Ojos Claros

    Elegantly versatile. It comes out delicate and very beautiful. I’d wear it for work, not for daily office wear, but for meetings, conferences, or events where elegance and respect for space combine with professionalism without losing femininity. It’s not intrusive, doesn’t bother anyone, and is greatly appreciated.

    Versatile and elegant. At first, it’s delicate and precious. I’d wear it to meetings or conferences, not for everyday use, because it blends elegance and respect for others with professionalism without losing femininity. It’s not intrusive, doesn’t bother anyone, and is incredibly pleasing.

  3. _Betty_

    I clearly detect the neroli, lily of the valley, and cotton flower. A sensual and feminine scent, ideal for the office or daytime wear. The only thing it lacks is a bit more sillage.

  4. Coquita

    On skin, it opens with that classic vintage white floral where gardenia takes the lead. It’s a green, very mature scent. After a while, it picks up that sweet, green, and slightly sticky note that I love. It lasts at least 10 hours, projects well for the first two hours, then leaves a nice cloud. It’s very feminine, suited for good weather (though I think it works perfectly in the cold too), and dresses up well for both casual and formal occasions, day or night. It reminds me of an adult woman in a white swimsuit, pashmina, and sunglasses, relaxing on a lounge chair by the pool with sparkling water and lemon. Pleasant: 7/10, Interesting: 5/10, Versatile: 8/10, Original: 3/10.

    I missed out on this one before, but a friend told me that sometimes what slips away comes back better. In the end, I got it sealed without a box and without rushing. Today, with the rain in the background, I opened it and wow: the neroli is pure poetry. Fragrantica lists it as green, but it doesn’t sound sharp to me; it’s creamy glory. Smells like white flowers, soft neroli, and a clove that doesn’t dominate. Reminds me of Dior’s Poison or Cartier’s Panthere. It’s sweet, with a soapy touch that makes me think of cilantro—super romantic and tender. I don’t detect vetiver or leather; the incense is very in the background and the amber adds sweetness. Ideal for spring or a sunny autumn, more for day than night. These are my first impressions, I don’t know about longevity yet, but sharing this ear-to-ear smile over a blind buy is everything. I love having it in my collection.

    For those who love white florals, this is a must. I agree with the previous reviews: delicate, very feminine, and refined. Yes, it’s pricey, but there are online stores where you can find it on sale. Before buying a trendy white floral, I’d bet on this; it stands the test of time and never disappoints.

    I don’t want to dwell on the notes as they are already described. I see the bottle as totally white, and the scent gives me a similar feeling. A white scent, but milky white. A set of white flowers with a certain density that becomes creamy or milky, a fragrance with body. This milk of flowers is wrapped in a bit of incense and something sweet, which is amber. It seems modern, elegant, daytime, adaptable, and has tremendous longevity. The initial sillage is heavy, then drops to moderate. It lasts a good 10 hours. What I like about Honour is that it doesn’t have those dense spices that this house usually gets us used to.

    It’s a floral for a princess. You can tell the quality of these perfumes. To me, it’s very similar to Alien by Mugler, only this one is sweeter and not amber-based. It’s also not a perfume that projects so everyone can smell it like the other, but it’s a luxury in every aspect. They are like jewels that a collector who has been around for a while and tried everything says: instead of buying several, I buy one every now and then, and I’m more than happy.

  11. When applied to the skin, it’s very evident that we are facing a white floral, very elegant, too refined, and there’s no debate that it uses the best components in terms of quality. The scent isn’t very potent; it’s more calm, but its high oil concentration makes us think it will last quite a while. At first, the florals are more noticeable, with the neroli standing out a bit more. It’s in this stage that it reminded me of Jadore, as if it were an Arabie version. Later, the soft touches of opoponax, pepper, incense, and very subtle leather rise to the same height as the florals and blend with them. In this part, the fragrance distances itself from that Jadore idea I had. I wouldn’t buy Jadore, but this seems like an interesting spiced white floral. That said, it’s very elegant, like the beauty of the opera Madame Butterfly.

    Wonderful fruity gardenia. Summer, near the sea, and when evening falls, everything is illuminated with this scent of gardenias, gardenias combined with the intoxicating aroma of a neroli with a soft animal facet. Meanwhile, a group of people gathered opens and eats a refreshing, very sweet watermelon; everything mixes in the atmosphere, and the sensations become magical, unique, and very special. Amouage brings us the evening gardenia, very realistic, a scent that is reborn every afternoon with all the power of a narcotic flower. It’s very alive, with aquatic facets, very sensual, and that sweet and fruity effect makes it irresistible and tremendously feminine. I loved it. Rating: 9.1.

    Spectacular fruity gardenia. Imagine summer near the sea at sunset, everything illuminated by that gardenia scent mixed with a neroli with a soft animal touch. As if someone opened a sweet, refreshing watermelon in the middle of the atmosphere; everything blends into magical sensations. Amouage brings the sunset gardenia, realistic and reborn every afternoon with the potency of a narcotic flower. It’s very alive, with aquatic facets, sensual, sweet, and fruity, making it irresistible and tremendously feminine. I loved it. Rating: 9.1
