Voyager, from Aramis was released in 2016. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Ginger, Juniper Berries, and Pepper, middle notes of Lavender, Nutmeg, and Sage, and base notes of Tonka Bean.
I knew nothing about this release and it turned out to be something I hadn't expected from Aramis...but perhaps should've done. No brand is too precious to jump on a trendy bandwagon and this is what Aramis have done here and maybe with flankers like adventurer and black so as I say...it was half expected. The opening is straight away identifiable as tonka bean, so I guess that's something and it's that synthetic, dirty, heavy vanilla chemistry that runs right through the experience. Lavender actually compliments Tonka well and there's a hint of that combo in Voyager. Look...this is normally something I'd say I don't like, I'm not into designer, gourmand, tonka fragrances as a rule but after the harshness and clunkiness of the opening and first hour or two it becomes a subdued, skin scent which to me is quite inoffensive. I'm more tolerant than I used to be but this isn't good...I'll pass.
