Gold Man

Amouage, 1983, for men

powdery, amber, smoky, floral and musky

Notes

Lily of the Valley Clean, dewy and green-white, like crushed spring stems.
Labdanum Sticky, golden, leathery-ambery resin with a warm, animal-like sweetness.
Olibanum Cool, lemony and peppery resin smoke, like a quiet stone church.

Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
Myrrh Warm, bittersweet, slightly medicinal resin, with a smoky, leathery depth.
Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.

Civet Warm, intensely animal and musky, with an indolic floral edge that turns soft when diluted.
Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
Oakmoss Damp forest floor, bittersweet and slightly salty-green.
Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
