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.
