I was so excited to try this fragrance...so bloody excited I could barely contain myself!!! A new Amouage fragrance and I didn't have to wait that long for it either....and the verdict! Journey is absolutely magical! Amouage and Christopher Chong have nailed it yet again! If recent releases seemed a little tame (Beloved) or too brave with spicing (Fate) Journey gets the balance of accessibly mainstream and signature Amouageness just right. Opens typically turbulently with a wonderfully complex swirl of amazing smells which are not instantly recognisable except for one... Sichuan pepper! Heavy in the opening until it disperses then the true nature of this fragrance comes into play deep Cypriol, frankincense, a strange fruity nature too and woody notes. The tobacco is not typical it's very sweet natured so if you're expecting a tobacco fragrance please don't be disappointed because I don't think it's that prominent. Maybe a combination with Tonka beans make it sweet n creamy? I don't know to be honest, it's complex stuff but smells absolutely amazing. I really love Journey I was so prepared for disappointment (don't know why to be fair EVERY Amouage fragrance has it's merits) but this is another triumph and just as wearable as Jubilation XXV not too spicy, very alluring and comforting. This is an instant favourite and I need to add it to my collection, hopefully I can get hold of some samples next week (as the store had none left) and try it on my skin for a few days at a time to make sure. Longevity is spectacular but not quite as long lived as strong incense perfumes like Interlude. I think if you love Jubilation you will adore Journey because it's still Amouage but in an amazingly acceptable and markedly safer fragrance than some of their others. Safe in this instance means faultless.
One of the best from Amouage. Very spicy, slightly smoky. It dries down to a peppery, leathery scent and the performance is great. This is very classy and one of my favorites.
