One Among Many...or Not?
Honos is an old term from Latin meaning "honorable" and "dignified," referring to a man with great virtues, a model of strength and perfection. "...an exclusive blend of sophistication and a mysterious aura."
Yes, dear perfumers... you have found the magic lamp bottle. The search is over. A spritz on your target object is enough, and your dream man stands before you.
Critical voices whisper that this is just another advertising bubble. However, it would be worth a try... the chosen one will certainly keep quiet, as he is not averse to the aforementioned potion.
Why does Honos fit into my personal taste profile:
The scent taste develops on Parfumo, (for me) not only positively. One smells and evaluates fragrances differently than the people around them. Each scent is tested and rated on its own, regardless of whether it is wearable... "stinking" becomes relative. It can happen quite quickly that you wake up in the morning and, thanks to Parfumo, smell like the new Ritter Sport variety "Ginger-Pumpkin Schnitzel with Whole Hazelnuts."
Possible outcomes:
- A bottle collection full of art objects that please my perfume nose
- A bottle collection full of art objects that I actually don't want to spray
There are fragrances that move between mainstream and niche. Somewhere between shower gel and unbelievably expensive art object. Honos is a classic scent that you feel you've already smelled a thousand times at first whiff. My perfume nose needed several attempts to understand what "added value" it has for me and my nose. Once the slightly alcoholic opening has faded, a scent emerges that is fresh with a certain sweet spiciness.
Honos is not: heavy / cloying / musty / dark / old-fashioned / creamy / dark / gourmand / animalic / excessively expensive / loud / extravagant / blümerant...and most importantly ==> I don't smell any clove ;-)
But rather: Fresh / modern-classic / sophisticated / grown-up / absolutely suitable for everyday wear / a bit barbershop / slightly sweet-spicy and balanced
An unexciting scent for people who are grounded in life and looking for a fragrance that strikes a balance between mainstream and niche. Nothing special, yet one of the needles in the perfume haystack that I am searching for. Even though I have about 20 fragrances in my collection, I don't want to have to think long about which one to reach for. Honos is safe without being boring, and that's a good thing ;-)
The longevity is good, and the sillage is in the moderate middle range.
Enjoy spraying!
