Amouage Honour 43

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge.

It opens on rhubarb leaf, pepper and coriander, moves through tuberose, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley, and settles on sandalwood, opoponax and labdanum.

• pepper: dry and warming, like freshly cracked black pepper
• coriander: green seedy spice, faintly soapy with a citrus edge

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
