| Content | Honour Man, the regal, dramatic masculine fragrance with a spicy, woody character, is heir to Amouage’s ongoing (soap) operatic narrative that began with Jubilation, and continued on with Lyric, Epic, and Memoir. With an intensely peppery, dark opening, Honour Man creates olfactory storm clouds of disquiet, confusion, and drama befitting its back story, which was written by the perfume house’s creative director Christopher Chong and inspired by Puccini’s tragic opera Madame Butterfly.
In Chong’s melodramatic creative brief, Honour is the son of Madame Butterfly, Puccini’s tragic heroine who commits suicide when the American soldier who abandoned her years before returns to take their son. Honour has come back, so the narrative goes, to confront his mother’s tragedy and to come to terms with his identity. After the blast of pepper, Honour Man allows a fresh, rosy-floral note from geranium to peek through the dark clouds, followed by a succession of warm, woody, and spicy notes, including an intense patchouli that reminds us that Honour is still a fiery young man.
Chong suggests that these comforting, beautifully blended base notes represent the reconciliation of our hero’s troubled quest with his “filial elegy to honour his mother.” Its dry down does indeed feel like the denouement to a stormy, existential drama. Honour Man is housed in a white crystal bottle with a gold-plated cap affixed with a white opal Svarovski crystal.

Launched in 2003 this Ralph Lauren cologne was created by perfumers Carlos Benaim and Christophe and the bottle was designed by Bormioli Rocco. Polo Blue is an updated version of the seventies classic and Carlos Benaim, who created the original version 25 years ago was inspired by St John Island's Caneel Bay and tried to incorporate notes of Cucumber, Tangerine, Geranium and Basil. Polo Blue is fresh, exhilarating, with a green thread running through it and is the perfect cologne to take you from the office to an afternoon cup of coffee or even a summer wedding reception. The Polo Blue cologne has an aromatic fougere that is both true to the original Polo in the classic green flask bottle and at the same time cognizant of the changing sensibilities of its time-frame which demand a subtler, lighter composition so as to fit into the many occasions a modern man wears cologne for. | Invictus Legend by Paco Rabanne is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men.
