Honour Man Amouage 2011

Hello everyone,

this is my first comment here, after I have already looked in several times without registration. I've already tried some perfumes, but I'm still very new to this hobby, so forgive me if I don't get a good description or smell of everything
To understand the title of my commentary, I think I have to digress a little. Let's start with my grandfather: From the outside, he always seemed a bit gruff and reserved, but once you got to know him, you couldn't help it and you had to like him. He was a very warm and funny person who explained and taught me a lot about life. The only thing I never liked was his perfume, which fortunately he rarely wore.

And here we have already arrived at Honour Man. I don't know exactly what my grandpa used, but Honour Man smells pretty much the same as my grandpa's perfume, which I never liked before.

The first time I sprayed the test on the back of my hand I thought: "Oh, a very peppery start" and I must say that I also found the start quite good. What followed, however, could only be summed up under pure horror.

All I could perceive after the very peppery start, which I even liked, was an all-consuming scent of rose geranium. Other scents were no longer there for me. It smelled exactly the same at my grandpa's place when he had put on his perfume, so that I could almost see him in front of me during my test.

However, I did not give up immediately and tried to wear the fragrance a little longer, perhaps to be surprised by the development after all. Unfortunately, the scent in my nose hardly changed over the next few hours, so at some point I could no longer resist the urge to finally wash it off. This may be due to my still quite untrained nose, I am unfortunately not able to say this.

The scents from the base I could not smell at that time unfortunately all or only very, very easily, everything was covered by this for me extremely strong smell of rose geranium
The durability of the fragrance is unfortunately also above average for me, because even after washing several times, I could still perceive the fragrance for quite a while.

I can't say much about the bottle, as I only have a small bottling of the fragrance. However, I've had another bottle of Amouage in my hand before and it was very valuable, so I assume that this will also be the case with Honour Man.

Conclusion:
For me definitely not a fragrance for younger people and definitely not a fragrance for me. In general, I have an aversion to geraniums and especially the scent of rose geraniums, so that this scent will probably never move in with me.

So why did I dedicate my first comment to Honour Man when I don't like him at all? He aroused in me the direct association with my grandfather, which was actually quite nice, and so I immediately had an idea how I could describe the fragrance a little more detailed. I hope I won't be torn apart right now, but I was able to give you a little preview of how I perceived the fragrance.
