Honour 43 Woman, an extrait de parfum signed by Alexandra Carlin, joined Amouage’s Exceptional Extraits in 2021. This 43 percent perfume oil version of the Honour Woman white floral, inspired by Madame Butterfly, brings together jasmine, tuberose, gardenia and lily of the valley, lifted by pepper and rhubarb leaves, over olibanum, opoponax and leather.
Rachel Watson, writing for ÇaFleurBon, describes a broad, sunny white floral, far from a shy soliflore, which incense gradually takes over and which, in her view, bridges East and West.
What critics say
Rachel Watson, ÇaFleurBon, January 31, 2022
Rachel Watson, an admirer of Honour Woman, describes a bouquet of big white flowers, jasmine, tuberose and gardenia, far bolder than the scents of Amouage’s Secret Garden: “This is not a shy soliflore.” She sees in it a tropical paradise, hot and humid.
Over time, the incense lurking beneath the flowers becomes more present: “Whispers of incense that have been lurking under the dominant florals suddenly become more prominent.” Not very traditional for an Arabic scent, it “manages to seamlessly bridge the divide between East and West.”
