Amouage Honour Women EDP

Description

Honour Woman is a luminous white floral eau de parfum from Amouage, the Omani house founded in 1983 under the patronage of the Sultan of Oman and renowned for some of the richest raw materials in niche perfumery. Composed by perfumers Alexandra Carlin and Violaine Collas and released in 2011, it opens on a green, peppery burst of rhubarb and coriander before settling into an opulent bouquet of gardenia, tuberose, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley, all cushioned by a warm amber-incense base streaked with leather and vetiver. The result is a confident, ceremonial white floral built for women who want their signature scent to announce itself.
