Honour Woman is a white floral fragrance inspired by the tragic predicament of Madame Butterfly. The white floral is used to signify the discourse of Madame Butterfly’s love. Tuberose is used to represent danger. Jasmine means attachment. Gardenia is secret love. Lily of the Valley is purity of heart. White carnation is innocence and faithfulness.

On another level, the white floral represents a tragic love in which honour, fidelity and innocence have been betrayed. A resin base of frankincense, amber and opoponax is used to represent the tragic end of Madame’s Butterfly 'To Die With Honour'.

Editor's Notes

Realism defines Honour Woman. A profusion of white flowers, the pleasure is in the details seen up close, where you can identify single flowers: luscious, buttery gardenia hand-in-hand with jasmine and tuberose, this is a trio that spreads vertically across the musical stave. Floral freshness and richness at once - the purity of jasmine, the spicy camphor sizzle of tuberose with its green aspect peeking through. You can move around this aromatic sculpture - this resplendent vase if you will - to get a better sense of its construction. Spices like pepper and coriander seed are key, the bridging notes that link the flowers together, while carnation - the fiery red flower - cuts the heady richness of the central floral bouquet. Tenderness is found in lily of the valley, imparting key watery-green tones to this scent. It is powerful yet soft.

White reveals its brilliance when placed against darkness. In Honour Woman, a typical Amouage build of quality frankincense, amber resins, and a woody-leathery finish forms the darkening, slightly umbrous background, that keeps our attention drawn to the fragrance, always suggestive of a little mystery.
