Gold EDP
2013
“Warm sandalwood-jasmine with nothing to prove and nowhere to rush.”

The take
What works
- ●Sandalwood-amber base with jasmine is understated luxury at an accessible price
- ●Year-round versatility — warm enough for autumn, light enough for spring
- ●Minimalist Commodity aesthetic: no gimmicks, just good clean composition
Trade-offs
- ●Ylang-ylang in the mid can polarize — its creamy, slightly medicinal quality isn't for everyone
- ●Projection is quiet; this is a skin scent, not a room-filler
