Weird sharp note in the opening
I have heard that Lattafa fragrances need some time to mature. With that in mind, my bottle only arrived a week ago. I'll update this if the fragrance changes as it matures but I currently don't really like the way this smells.
Honor and Glory is hyped a lot on social media. I blind bought it thinking that I'd be getting a full bodied cosy vanilla fragrance with some fruity elements to it. Unfortunately the pineapple note mixed with something else, perhaps the tumeric and pepper comes off as quite sharp in the opening. I've noticed that this unpleasant interaction is more prominant the more concentrated the fragrance is i.e. the closer I spray it to my skin.
If sprayed some distance away from my skin, the fruitiness of the pineapple is a lot more prominant. After awhile, the pineapple seems to go away, leaving the vanilla, spices and sandalwood.
Overall, I'm not a huge fan of this particularly because of the unpleasant sharpness of the opening.
