About the Fragrance
Like a Chinese dragon, Journey Man
opens with a fiery roar filled with Sichuan peppers and bold spices in a
golden, boozy flame. The peppers tingle and gently bite, while a richly
fruited sweetness intoxicates you with a cognac note. It's a visual of
gold and red, but darkness lurks all around, thanks to swirls of
incense, an oud-like cypriol woodiness, and a streak of leathery resins
in the base. Tobacco, a sprinkling of cardamom, and the juiciness of
neroli orange are the final touches to a complex fragrance that grabs
your attention from the start.
Journey is slowly transformed by a beautiful creaminess which
tames the dragon's fiery bite. A smooth layer of tonka vanilla coats the
peppers, dry woodiness, incense, and spices. The cognac booziness turns
into ambered warmth, and the perfume lingers more softly on the skin.
Over time, Journey turns into a creamy, tonka sweetness with woods,
spices, and just a hint of fruit mingle together. It's a bold fragrance
whose initial intensity gives way to softness in a rich mix that feels
very much like an Amouage.
