What does Honour Man smell like?

It opens with black pepper and pink pepper, giving a fresh, sharp start. In the heart, nutmeg and geranium soften the spice, while Madagascan elemi adds a resinous lift. The base rests on cedar, vetiver and patchouli for an earthy, woody footing; frankincense resin brings the smoke, and musk and tonka bean absolute add warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen settings. More than half of voters call it masculine, with a classic side as well. Béjar Wild Oud and Heeley Cardinal have a close profile.
