Honour Woman Extract de Parfum
Inspiration
Honour Woman by Amouage was launched in 2011 and crafted by perfumers Alexandra Carlin and Violaine Collas. The fragrance is inspired by the tragic story of Madame Butterfly — a poetic tale of love, grief and sacrifice. It honours truth, beauty and a woman's dignity, echoing both longing and sorrow in its floral narrative.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Honour Woman is a masterpiece in the genre of white florals. We love how the cool tartness of rhubarb and the green spice of coriander give the opening freshness, balanced beautifully by a heart full of lush gardenia, jasmine, tuberose and delicate lily of the valley. The drydown becomes warm and resinous with amber, frankincense and opoponax, softened by a whisper of leather. It feels elegant, emotional and timeless — perfect for special moments or when you want your perfume to tell a story.
