Which Should You Buy?
Journey Woman is a divisive beast, a ride that some find intoxicatingly complex and others, well, a bit nauseating. It's not a blind buy friendly perfume, but for those who get it, it's a rich, ever-evolving masterpiece. Prepare for a journey, indeed.
This isn't your average airy osmanthus; Absolue d'Osmanthe is a full-bodied embrace, a bold amber-floral that manages to be both deeply comforting and intriguingly complex. It's a divisive one, with some finding the resinous opening challenging, but those who stick around are rewarded with a rich, golden drydown.
