A Crowd-Pleasing Amouage
It seems as if Amouage is making changes in its perfume making strategy. Once its scents were very bold powerhouse masculines. Now, it seems that with the midnight flower collection and last year's Journey duo, Amoauge is trying to make polished scents that can be used as signature scents for the well dressed average (with a sense of style) consumer.
Now on to Journey....
Journey opens with a fresh yet spicy and smoky aroma. I say fresh because the the bergamot and neroli give it a fresh and a minute soapy edge and spicy because the sichuan pepper is the star of this fragrance. As time passes one is treated to a nice (yet repetitive and familiar) tobacco note that is paired with cardamon and incense. The base is relatively generic as it is composed of musk ,leather, and tonka beans.
From my review it may seem that I thought of Journey as an average fragrance, but that is not the case. It is a classical smelling fragrance (as if from the late 80's) done very very well. The projection is above average and so is longevity but is sub-par based upon Amouage's standards (which as I said is because Amouage is trying to make this mainstream and versatile and isn't necessarily a bad thing).
A good Amouage for even those who previously disliked this Omani brand's offerings.
BTW: It has a gorgeous bottle and the picture I took isn't doing justice to this beauty
