Down The Silk Road

Journey Man evokes the vibrant essence of a bustling bazaar along the Silk Road, transporting you to a realm where the air is rich with the allure of exotic spices and incenses. It’s as if you’re an intrepid explorer, immersing yourself in the depths of Asia's aromatic treasures.

The impression starts from the get-go with the bottle.A striking combination of gold and red, immediately hints at the Asian vibe awaiting within.And what a vibe. Starting with a striking Sichuan pepper accord that slaps you in the face, reminiscent of a sizzling spicy steamy hot pot that permeates the atmosphere of the bazaar. The addition of cardamom and tobacco leaf further enriches this scene, weaving a tapestry of spice. There's also a hint of something spirited, akin to a fine aged spirit but Journey Man steers clear of being overtly boozy, maintaining a refined complexity instead. Also the fragrance unfolds a fresher dimension, thanks to the invigorating presence of juniper berries in the heart, bergamot and neroli in the top notes. This combination ensures the bazaar setting is not just any scene, but a lively, sunlit day bustling with activity and vibrancy.At its heart and moving into the base, an incense and cypriol oil duo crafts a incensy-dusty accord that conjures images of ancient Buddhist temples, their sacred spaces filled with the soothing smoke of incense sticks. A touch of tonka bean in the base gently softens the composition, smoothing out the edges and adding a hint of sweetness to the mix.

Overall, Journey Man is a profoundly exotic composition, making you feel like a true traveler on the Silk Road, discovering the rich and intense aromas that define this legendary route. It’s an olfactory experience that captures the spirit of adventure and the feel of distant, mystical lands.
