Journey Woman
Amouage (2014)

The warm honey and vanilla dry down on this is beautiful. A real comfort scent that also has amazing longevity and sillage.

Jasmine almost smothers the apricot and osmanthus notes. Sometimes, they are barely there. I get something nutty, underneath... Jasmine turns almost boozy, with hints of honey. This, is one of the better jasmine scents I've smelled. It's a note I can take or leave usually.

I enjoy it. I would've like more osmantus, more apricot. Anyway, the base is mellow, with a smattering of vanilla-musk and bits of a smoky spice... Jasmine sambac lingers forever.

I've finally found one! A peach/apricot fragrance that smells exquisite. Teamed with honey & osmanthus, this smells a bit similar to this house's Sunshine, but this is more fruity.

I'm in love with a $200+ perfume that smells
like peaches & cream/honey and I am not ashamed to admit it! This is absolutely amazing, there's a depth to it that I can't find in any designer or cheapie frags I own that showcase such notes. I can't get over how good this smells. I wanna take a nap in a hammock in the sunshine surrounded by this fragrance but I might wake up surrounded by bees... and their knees, ha!

Sillage and longevity are amazing with this one, with all the Amouage fragrances I've tested I can say you honestly are getting what you pay for not only with the well executed note pyramids that smell of high quality ingredients, but killer performance as well.

One last thing: is this discontinued? I couldn't find it on most retail sites that sell Amouage, only grey market discounters... if it is, it'd be a real shame and I'll need to purchase a FB immediately before it goes away. I could honestly see myself wearing this all year, including the hot weather that's about to be here any day now. Maybe applied lighter in the summer and saved for the more fancy occasions, but I'm worth it and this fragrance brings me actual joy from smelling It.

On me, Journey is like a more refined, less brash version of Alien Oud Majesteux. I've enjoyed my sample of Journey, but I don't think I'd want a full size bottle. Very nice, but for me, a once-in-a-while fragrance.

On my skin, this is a beautifully spiced warm honey. If there were walnut added, I would smell like the best baklava ever made.

I love food. I also love the smell of good food. And so I'm not embarrassed to say, I like to smell like food. Amouage Journey (for Women) opens with a citrusy smell, quickly joined by HONEY. Sticky sweet, yummy, raw honey. Oranges and honey, lots o' honey. Did I mention the honey? There is a drydown scent that I cannot name - smells like the drydown in John Varvatos, and I like that too. Kind of incense-y. I like that the cap of the bottle is magnetic. The bottle itself is nice and sturdy, and squat, and therefore unlikely to tip over. Sprayer worked well too.
