Amouage
Honour Woman EDP
“Aldehydes and iris and Amouage gravity — worn by someone who doesn't need to explain herself.”
Amouage's 2011 release — a tuberose-gardenia white floral on a green-aromatic base, themed around the Madame Butterfly story. Rhubarb and pepper in the top tilt it sharp before the lush florals unfold. Wears strongest in spring, daytime.
