What does Journey Man smell like?

It opens with Sichuan pepper, cardamom and bergamot in a bright spiced wave, softened by neroli and bitter orange. The heart brings juniper berry, tobacco and frankincense resin, with geraniol staying in the background. The base of leather, cypriol and tonka bean is sweet, woody and leathery, thinned a little by ambrox.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while few choose summer. It is mentioned most for evenings and nights out. Voters mostly find it masculine and classic. Roja Parfums Parfum de la Nuit and Chopard Oud Malaki have a close profile.
