Amouage Journey Man EDP
Description
Journey Man opens the story of a modern-day nomad: a bold, spice-driven eau de parfum from Amouage, the Omani house founded under the patronage of the Sultan of Oman and revered for its uncompromising use of rare, costly raw materials. Composed by Alberto Morillas and Pierre Negrin, it begins with a jolt of Sichuan pepper over bright bergamot and neroli, then settles into a smoky heart of incense and juniper-scented tobacco leaf before a warm, leathery base of tonka bean and musk-laced cypriol takes over. The effect is confident and well-traveled: a spiced leather fragrance built for a man in motion.
