What does Journey Woman smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings, nights out and leisure time. Half of voters call it feminine.

Apricot and osmanthus give the top a sweet, fruity note, while nutmeg and cardamom add spice. In the heart, jasmine sambac, mimosa and honey build a soft floral-gourmand core, with cedarwood as a woody frame. The base of vanilla, pipe tobacco, saffron and cypriol turns warm and oriental, and musk smooths it out.
