Honour 43 was my least favorite of the 2020/2021 Exceptional Extraits released by Amouage. I don’t think I’d ever tried Honour Woman, but this one is not for me.
I get the hints of coriander and rhubarb in the opening, two of my least favorite notes. As it dries the white florals grow almost fruity and sweeter. It’s very smooth and after a while I like the scent, although personally I’d much prefer this on a woman, or as a house scent (I have actually burned bakhoor soaked in Honour 43 provided by Amouage and it smells great in that capacity).
