New Amouage Gold Man

Gold Man is a floral, musky, woody scent created for Men in 1998 by perfumer Guy Robert.

Reveiw

This scent begins subtle and unassuming with its softer nuances that evoke a floral, soapy quality that you want to smell forever. As the wood tones come to life, it is almost as if the gentleman lets loose and the wild man inside runs free. It is a scent that is suitable for the office and works well during most seasons, but goes best as a scent for formal occasions. It is comparable to Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme, and has been compared to Chanel N.5.

Inspiration

Gold Man is a rich and luxurious scent that is reminiscent of the golden age of perfumery. It evokes the sophisticated lifestyle of the gentleman with discerning taste. It is said to have been Sultan Qaboos’ gift to Kings and Princes around the world.

Notes

A soft floral bouquet of Rose, Lily of the Valley, Orris and Jasmine mingles with the smoky essences of Myrrh and Frankincense, creating a subtle elegance. An animalic warmth ensues with Amber, Musk, and Civet atop earthy Oakmoss. A woody base of Cedarwood, Sandalwood and Patchouli add depth and longevity to this one of a kind creation.
