Voyage 2019 by Hiram Green is a deeply atmospheric, amber-floral scent with a warm, honeyed foundation that evokes vintage elegance. The opening is strong and slightly spiced—some note a citrus burst, others detect honeycomb or soft cinnamon—but it quickly evolves into a seductive blend of lush floral notes, creamy vanilla, and rich amber. The lotus gives a delicate oriental flow, but isn’t watery or overly floral; it integrates seamlessly into the broader amber-vanilla-sweet accord. The drydown reveals a quietly opulent, slightly powdery vanilla that lingers with a comforting warmth, reminiscent of Shalimar but softer, quieter, and more restrained. It feels more like an old-world perfume shop—incense, wooden carvings, vintage fabrics—than a modern fragrance.
