Fragrance Composition
The fragrance opens with a sparkling accord of black and pink pepper, accentuated by incense. The freshness and elegance are brought by the combination of geranium and nutmeg, accompanied by balsamic and woody notes. Sweet elemi blends with tonka bean in the base, softening the masculine combination of patchouli, cedar, and vetiver.
Fragrance History
Amouage Honour is inspired by the famous story of Madame Butterfly, the geisha who marries an American and waits in vain for his return for three years. The reference is to the final scene in Giacomo Puccini's 1904 opera, where the main character, called Butterfly, cannot bear her tragic fate and takes her own life. The men's version of Amouage Honour symbolizes Madame Butterfly's son, taken to America by his father. It tells the story of the grown-up son who remembers his mother and experiences a sense of humility. At the same time, the fragrance is an elegy, a tribute, and a call to memory.
