Singularly Gorgeous
What It Is: Jean-Claude Ellena's unsweetened cardamom iced tea with a lemon wedge on a patio in Provence. Voyage opens with an absolutely stunning photorealistic cardamom note which gives way to a sunny lemon tea dry down. There's a juniper bush nearby for a bite of freshness in high heat and some amber for added richness which can power through cold weather. This is linear, timeless, noble, and unisex AF.
Who It's For: You were disappointed by the original Voyage EDT's longevity and sugary immaturity, but you loved the core DNA. You're 30+ and want one do-it-all fragrance that works in all settings, but dislike the "blue" ambroxan trend or generic florals. You like linen, good tailoring, and sunshine.
Alternatives: Voyage EDT is more sparkling with more air in the scent profile; it's closer to a fougere than the parfum (which is tighter & more linear in structure) but it's also sweeter and less grown up.
For me, this is an 11/10... the definition of excellent perfumery and a sleeper that is underrated and slept on by most of the fragrance community. With all due respect to Terre, I believe Voyage parfum is Ellena's masterpiece.
