Honos by Gentlemen’s Tonic

This week we have been reviewing Honos by Gentlemen’s Tonic.

The terms ‘honour’, ‘respect, ‘esteem’ and ‘respectable’ are all related to the Roman term ‘Honos’ and any gentleman who wears Honos is going to ooze respectability, dignity and a certain virtue.

The scent is lovely – warm, herbaceous, spicy and musky. With notes of black and pink pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg, the spicy layer is initially the most obvious. But as the spices cool, the fresh garden scents of clarysage (our aroma of the week)and lavender breeze in and form a very welcome and upbeat edge. The scent is fresh and enticing.

After an hour or so the scent has dried down to warmer, muskier notes of amber, sandalwood and incense. It really is quite glorious.

Not only for the honourable gentleman, but for the valiant woman who has a sense of freedom, individuality and independence.
